Hey, this karma thing really works

The woman who sparked an international incident when she stole a 2,000 baht beer mat from the Aussie Bar in Patong has now been banned from travelling to the US because of her conviction in Phuket.

I feel for her kids.

 

The U.S. is a bit over zealous for this though. But that's the way our immigration is if you try to go in legally.

 

There are other Disneylands that are even closer.

It's a bit harsh, I suppose (although not racist even though she's from Victoria) but I have to say it. By everything we ever have been told about this woman, you feel more than her.

 

And that's an awful lot of sympathy you have there, midlife. Mine is more reserved for actual victims. I don't have enough that it stretches to these types of cases. Surely there has to be SOME limit to giving away your compassion and support? It's not like these two kids are going to miss any meals or have to walk barefoot to school, eh?

 

And let's look at it from a different angle for a moment if you don't mind. This ... woman won't let her kids go to Disneyland unless she can go with them. Their father, their aunts, nobody else can take them. Too bad she didn't think that way when she left them all in Ozzie to go to Phuket for a drunken holiday, eh? Wasn't so sharing about that, was she?

 

If I feel for her kids, it's not because they can't get to Disneyland, I'm sure you catch my drift here.

Where were the kids when she was stealing things and abusing the police in Phuket?

Some people should never travel abroad.
