If they use ghost writers (a lot of people do), they're not profiting from their writing.

You sure about that?

Yes.

If a criminal uses a ghost writer to tell their story, it is not their own work that's making a profit, right? Someone else is doing the hard stuff, and the criminal is benefiting financially purely because they have committed a crime.

That's wrong.

It's a little bit more acceptable if the criminal actually does the work and is compensated financially for it (depending on the crime of course).

I can't do this, but I'm doing it anyway.

If the ordinary Indonesian ever gets a chance to follow these frivolous stories that we tend to manufacture into something of importance, then I really wonder how they could have any respect at all for our ideals.

I initially thought that the kid deserved about two years for his parents to grow a brain, but now I'm more of the opinion that the Indonesians need to serve their people first and foremost and give him six.

Well now the family have denied any such deal and Ray Martin (though i don't particularly respect him) said last night that it was complete rubbish. Where does that leave us all. Yet again the media are spreading rubbish for a headline and now it is out there it cannot be retracted. The public are just suckers. Watch Alan Jones go on this on.

and where did Ray Martin get the news from?.... thats right channel 9. they are hardly going to admit doing something that has caused an outrage are they?....

funny how you only believe someone that agrees with your philosophy like this family deserves all the help it can get sort of philosophy... like they didnt really have anything to do with it it was all forced on them.....ok if you say so!
