I'm so so tired of the rest of the world.
In Indonedia, if you are convicted of a crime - you have to prove that someone else did it or you are guilty.

This Aussie tourist almost got death, but instead got 20 years for something I doubt she did just by looking at her. Looks can be decieving, but seriously.... read this and tell me you don't feel angry.

We should cut off ties with the Muslim Terrorist Nation of Indonedia.

Walmart in Germany is a failure but it's because Germany has a lot of stupid rules, like you can't change prices and can't have sales. Germany also has more than 10% unemployment and is retarded (except for their beer).

So - I'm wondering if Walmart in India will have success or not. I'm guessing it'll actually be a massive success provided India doesn't have any crazy laws like Germany.

1 - There is a lack of retail outlets in India (or at least, in comparison to the US)
2 - India people seem to like American things. Or I get that impression from Indian friends of mine.
3 - MASSIVE population.

Wal-mart is here! -Well, almost- People
