Should I leave my country? What are some ways I can do that?
Indonesia. As much as I want to apply "Ask not what your country can do for you", I'm fed up. I couldn't even do the good things I dream to do for my country, because people who uphold justice and righteousness only get marginalized and jaded. I'm horrified by this place's base morality. I graduated high school from Australia but my diploma was legally declined because the govt perceives returning students from abroad as either faking it, or assume that the unfinished studies must be due to an irresponsible life of the party. I returned because of health and financial setbacks, and am intending to start a new life in my own country. I've been with a university in Jakarta for 3 years, but am not allowed to graduate unless I retake my primary and secondary school exams and pay hundreds of dollars to the government for it (a large percentage, I'm sure, which never reached the govt but would be pocketed by my tutor). I retook my grade 9 exam today (there's this special program where kids who failed to graduate can get their diploma) and the teachers - CIVIL SERVANTS - were handing out the answers to the test, which I blatantly refused. They laughed at me for doing this 2-hour math test without cheating, and tried to give me the paper of a boy who finished before me. My uni pretends as if it were in London, and brainwashes the students into thinking that their Indonesian heritage is worthless in the face of globalization. They invest in interior design and sound systems to make the campus appear hip and commercial, but hire retired movie stars to teach the classes. My classmates have no work ethic and no manners - and that becomes very difficult for me, since this program relies mostly on group projects. And the teachers and staff think it's normal - so they constantly torment and intimidate us like 5-year-old spoiled brats. So much injustice around me. Factory workers doing 18-hour days and living in cardboard boxes at the dumpsite of their workplace. Poor people dying from preventable causes because the hospital turns a blind eye to those who can't show the money. Indigenous tribes having their land and culture snatched in the name of industrialization; their kids brainwashed by force into modernization. City kids enslaved to their parents ambition; attending expensive schools that teach them to be Western, being raised by nannies and the trashy media, lacking the experience of parental love and respect but instead have it substituted by consumerism. The police lets offenders get away by offering the option of paying a "peacemaking fee". The government hires pop singers to make our country's laws, and gives away free laptops and luxury cars for parliament members using tax money. How can I live in a filthy place like this; not to mention, raise kids here? I've attempted many things to make this country a better place: publish writings, co-start a counselling service for post-abortive women, volunteer in disaster relief projects, hosted a political talk show for students on the radio, attend church prayer rallies, started up a theater company... all for the love of my country ... and yet nothing lasted. Nothing changed for the better, nobody benefitted from my hard work, and all I got back was failure, betrayal, setbacks, and heartache. Don't get me wrong, I love my country. If I didn't, I wouldn't feel this way about it. My beautiful country has a precious history and heritage, and it will forever be a part of me. I'm just heartbroken that my people are treating themselves like this, and they wonder why they can't proudly wear their Indonesian identity on their sleeve in the face of the international world. If I had the power change the way my country sees itself, the society's attitudes and behaviors, I would. But I'd hate to continue toiling futile effort only to be disappointed; and I'm starting to think that I deserve to live in a place where my vision and values are appreciated, where I will actually have the opportunity and the resources to act upon them and make things happen. Who knows, maybe making it big abroad will give me more power to eventually come back to my country with the blessing I've always dreamt of showering it with. I've been thinking about leaving my country to take a master's degree and work as an expat journalist. My fiance is a lawyer. He grew up in and graduated from Europe (Netherlands), and is open to live abroad when we get married; perhaps by joining a multinational company here as a legal staff and then being transferred to an office in another country. Australia, Argentina, Chile, and Dubai are among our top lists; I would have added Israel, but my country has no diplomatical ties with it. Should I leave? If so, how do I plan to do so as a married couple in 2-5 years time? If not, then what can I do to make my existence in this country more fruitful Btw my brother is a US citizen so I'm wondering if getting sponsored for a Green Card there is an option. Out of all the countries I've lived in, the US has been the one that best accomodates immigrants. I know that every country has its own "sins", but there are actually countries where I could be happy despite that. I was happiest when I lived in Australia and Belgium, and feel much at home in the U.S. While moral degradation and injustice also take place in these countries, at least the work ethic in schools and the workplace are much better, the laws are enforced consistently, the government actively acts upon the people's needs, the lifestyle is more conducive for self development and family life, and citizens don't get singled out just because they've traveled the world and studied elsewhere and returned to make their country a better place. Back to the question: should I leave? How? Otherwise, how could I survive and thrive in Indonesia without ingesting its moral poison?

Sorry to hear this about Indonesia. When I taught there, my students (adults) were polite, hard-working, eager to learn, and I came to love the country and its people. Of course, there was plenty of corruption then, too. Some things really have not changed. Corruption is everywhere. Obama plays golf with a guy under indictment for various crimes, and who contributed hundreds of thousands in campaign contributions. If you think some other country is squeaky-clean, you are going to run into problems wherever you go. Any time there is a huge glut of humanity, especially a huge glut in the workforce, competition becomes extreme and corruption escalates. It is always a consequence of overpopulation! Keep your own nose clean. Keep your standards and your self-respect high. Seek out friends, coworkers, etc, who likewise hold high standards. Good luck to you.

I understand feeling you have a moral obligation to your country. But you won't contribute to it by suffering. And life is so short. Put yourself in a position/place where you can become strong, so you can give back later. In the meantime - it would be something to make a documentary about your experience... to approach the absurdity with art. The contrasts you've mentioned would work brilliantly in visual narrative, which can be more effective/accessible than text and more easily grasped by outside audiences. (Your current uni would be a good place to set it, initially...) You're well placed to communicate your observations and your passion with outsiders. (From a pragmatic point of view, it would also help an application to journalism school.)

Why don't more people question Obama?
Why don't more people question Obama?
I started looking into Obama's life. Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental; he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan. During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It's not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York. By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko. Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran. Do we see a pattern here? Or, am I going crazy? On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas ', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'. Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East? And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he made a mistake'. Some mistake! All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008. Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this? A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within.'

McCain has lots of stuff too, but unlike Obama, pretty much everyone know's his history. The reason is this: the media loves Obama. Since the media loves him, they dare publish anything that would make it look like his history wasn't clean. And unfortunately, many people take candidates at their "face value", meaning they don't bother digging deeper. They just pick people who appeal to them.

16 :
I don't care. All I know is that Obama is strange and so is John, I wouldn't vote for either of them. To be honest I think Obama will win just because he's kinda new on the scene and not to mention his skin colour. Sorry but it exists!!!
17 :
People who follow along blindly without question are sure to make false assumptions. Tired of 8 years of Bush, they get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, a comfort, almost a drug-like euphoria - at the thought of such a "cool" president. But looks can be deceiving, words can be carefully crafted, and often the people don't see or don't want to see what's behind the wolf in sheep's clothing. Their bubble will burst.

First of all, you seem very Islamaphobic. Why? If a Christian had bombed the WTC, would you be afraid of christians? My point being, there are some bad Muslims, but not all Muslims are bad. If you don't believe that the press is questioning Obama, open your eyes. You see, when you look at this question which I'm sure you worked hard on, you see "Obvious clues that Obama is a bad person." When I look at it, I see racist crap.

This may sound crazy, but in a way it would be good for Obama to win! Here is why: Patience is important! Look at the approval rating of congress right now! It is extremely low! Right? ok.

Because the liberal press, which is MSNBC,CNN, the NYT, and many others, do not want you to know the truth. In fact they tell the libs exactly what they want to hear, and that is slamming Mccain and Palin and glorifying the Messiah. Hey he talks good, and looks good. So without bothering to look any further than face value, they will choose him. So what if he runs this country into a depression. I for one know you cannot pay off the debt by raising taxes and spending more money as Obama would do. Don't you just love his idea of sending money for tax returns on people who don't pay taxes? These people will be getting between $500, and $1000 of our money to party on. I sure hope they enjoy it while I scrimp and save for the things I need. McCain/Palin '08! It isn't too late to make the right choice, and say no to socialism! ~
29 :
I completely agree with you. People need to know this! I feel this is much more important that Palin spending $100,000(+) on clothes. How much money does Michelle Obama spend? Would she shop at the goodwill? This race is so one -sided it makes me sick. Then there are dems out there that think the media is fair. Please. If Obama gets in...I will rub it in their faces like we did when Clinton won! Get those bumper stickers out that read "I didn't vote for him". What will Michelle Obama say about that then...since her comment "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country." When the Country falls under attack due to her husband will you still be proud of YOUR country. Notice how it is "her" country and not "our" country.
30 :
Not very many individuals are as knowledgeable as you and I are. We know how to weigh things and see which will benefit us the most. We also have the insight to know what will harm us and therefore know not to go that rout. Obama supporters have a bad case of a disease called ignorance - it is like AIDS, has no cure. I think every state should file a court order to force Obama to come clean with his real birth certificate. The longer he waits the guilter he is. I mean, I was born in the U.S. and I am proud of it, I'd go through any lengths to prove I was. Obama is the son of perdition and our country will follow suit. McCain & Palin "08" True Americans for the American People
31 :
I gave up on this question awhile ago. Obama has several different levels of support and you cannot seem to reason with any of them. I don't really care who anyone votes for as that is an individual choice, but I would like to see people honestly examine the candidates. I do know several people who originally stated they were going to vote for Obama, but later changed their minds after a careful look at his record, platform and past associations. The reason they give me is because once he was exposed to scrutiny, they felt he was not what he represents himself to be. I think the biggest problem though is that the Republican candidate is no shining example either. People really do want change in our country, but they aren't going to get it from the current crop.
32 :
Because the media is in control of who gets heard. For the typical American who is opposed to Obama to be heard, they have to do something crazy, like shoot somebody, or they get no media attention. The Liberally biased media makes sure of it.
33 :
Because they are idiots.
34 :
A standing applause for you. Very good job of telling the truth and being a good American. A star for you and please continue to posts things.
35 :
We do not question the great one- so sayeth the messiah
36 :
That's because liberals are brain washed by the whole media, especially MSNBC and Keith Oberman, cover up. And they have NOOOOOOOOOOO idea there are issues with Obama. If Obama's elected result by that, and in third year, They will say to themselves. yuk what happened to me, why I have not looked into it before, now its too late and its Obama's fault for screw up the country.

Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this? A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within.'

willful ignorance.

do u expect poeple to read that?? u wrote book buddy!
4 :
I swear i just heard "Im John McCain and i approve this message" in my mind right after i read that rant.
5 :
So? I would tell you about McCain's sordid past but I don't have the time or space.
6 :
Are you kidding? The man has been questioned on end. Why don't more people question McCain?
7 :
I don't know. Why don't you call Sean Hannity's show and ask him? I'm sure he'd love to talk all about it.
8 :
Idiots have been questioning all that for some time. You must not have been paying attention.
9 :
McCain has lots of stuff too, but unlike Obama, pretty much everyone know's his history. The reason is this: the media loves Obama. Since the media loves him, they dare publish anything that would make it look like his history wasn't clean. And unfortunately, many people take candidates at their "face value", meaning they don't bother digging deeper. They just pick people who appeal to them.
10 :
Go, run for your life.
11 :
Why? Obama is more innocent because he's around half a generation younger than McCain. The older you are, the more easily you'd be considered a dirty old man.
12 :
I have tons of insane trivia as such......Its impossible to find the non-bias truth !
13 :
Please don't confuse Obama's flock with the facts; all that matters is how he LOOKS.
14 :
Okie dokie Rush. See you have found ctrl c very good for you!
15 :
The same reason more people don't look closer at 9.11.01.... They put it aside as unnecessary. If you're trying to say he's a terrorist and a bad human, I'd say your wrong. He'd be on the Repub ticket if that were the case.
16 :
I don't care. All I know is that Obama is strange and so is John, I wouldn't vote for either of them. To be honest I think Obama will win just because he's kinda new on the scene and not to mention his skin colour. Sorry but it exists!!!
17 :
People who follow along blindly without question are sure to make false assumptions. Tired of 8 years of Bush, they get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, a comfort, almost a drug-like euphoria - at the thought of such a "cool" president. But looks can be deceiving, words can be carefully crafted, and often the people don't see or don't want to see what's behind the wolf in sheep's clothing. Their bubble will burst.
18 :
face it! mccain will not win!
19 :
good question and thx for doing all that research! But all his anti-American activities just make him a more attractive candidate to the liberal scum. More the better.
20 :
Because they are too busy talking about how much money Palin spends on her designer clothing. You know, the really important stuff. People in this country should pull their heads out of their asses.
21 :
wow, you should be come a fiction writer, mate
22 :
First of all, you seem very Islamaphobic. Why? If a Christian had bombed the WTC, would you be afraid of christians? My point being, there are some bad Muslims, but not all Muslims are bad. If you don't believe that the press is questioning Obama, open your eyes. You see, when you look at this question which I'm sure you worked hard on, you see "Obvious clues that Obama is a bad person." When I look at it, I see racist crap.
23 :
This may sound crazy, but in a way it would be good for Obama to win! Here is why: Patience is important! Look at the approval rating of congress right now! It is extremely low! Right? ok. Now: I am so convinced that Obama is so underqulified for the job as president that this will happen: The democratic party will self destroy! If Obama gets in, the democrats will be pointing a gun at their feet and: "KAPOW!" No more liberals in power.
24 :
little more improvement and this will be good plot for a Controversial Novel or Movie But am not Buying that.
25 :
Whoever you cut and pasted this rubbish from is questioning. Too bad it's all speculation and baseless innuendo.
26 :
The questioning of Obama is not allowed This is enforced by the press .
27 :
Because when you question Obama his dogs will bite you. Here on Yahoo, that takes the form of censorship. Earlier today I received a violation notice for asking, "Is islamofascist oil money buying the election for Obama?" How dare you question Lord Obama! Freedom of speech is only for those who bow at Obama's alter and perform proper worship.
28 :
Because the liberal press, which is MSNBC,CNN, the NYT, and many others, do not want you to know the truth. In fact they tell the libs exactly what they want to hear, and that is slamming Mccain and Palin and glorifying the Messiah. Hey he talks good, and looks good. So without bothering to look any further than face value, they will choose him. So what if he runs this country into a depression. I for one know you cannot pay off the debt by raising taxes and spending more money as Obama would do. Don't you just love his idea of sending money for tax returns on people who don't pay taxes? These people will be getting between $500, and $1000 of our money to party on. I sure hope they enjoy it while I scrimp and save for the things I need. McCain/Palin '08! It isn't too late to make the right choice, and say no to socialism! ~
29 :
I completely agree with you. People need to know this! I feel this is much more important that Palin spending $100,000(+) on clothes. How much money does Michelle Obama spend? Would she shop at the goodwill? This race is so one -sided it makes me sick. Then there are dems out there that think the media is fair. Please. If Obama gets in...I will rub it in their faces like we did when Clinton won! Get those bumper stickers out that read "I didn't vote for him". What will Michelle Obama say about that then...since her comment "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country." When the Country falls under attack due to her husband will you still be proud of YOUR country. Notice how it is "her" country and not "our" country.
30 :
Not very many individuals are as knowledgeable as you and I are. We know how to weigh things and see which will benefit us the most. We also have the insight to know what will harm us and therefore know not to go that rout. Obama supporters have a bad case of a disease called ignorance - it is like AIDS, has no cure. I think every state should file a court order to force Obama to come clean with his real birth certificate. The longer he waits the guilter he is. I mean, I was born in the U.S. and I am proud of it, I'd go through any lengths to prove I was. Obama is the son of perdition and our country will follow suit. McCain & Palin "08" True Americans for the American People
31 :
I gave up on this question awhile ago. Obama has several different levels of support and you cannot seem to reason with any of them. I don't really care who anyone votes for as that is an individual choice, but I would like to see people honestly examine the candidates. I do know several people who originally stated they were going to vote for Obama, but later changed their minds after a careful look at his record, platform and past associations. The reason they give me is because once he was exposed to scrutiny, they felt he was not what he represents himself to be. I think the biggest problem though is that the Republican candidate is no shining example either. People really do want change in our country, but they aren't going to get it from the current crop.
32 :
Because the media is in control of who gets heard. For the typical American who is opposed to Obama to be heard, they have to do something crazy, like shoot somebody, or they get no media attention. The Liberally biased media makes sure of it.
33 :
Because they are idiots.
34 :
A standing applause for you. Very good job of telling the truth and being a good American. A star for you and please continue to posts things.
35 :
We do not question the great one- so sayeth the messiah
36 :
That's because liberals are brain washed by the whole media, especially MSNBC and Keith Oberman, cover up. And they have NOOOOOOOOOOO idea there are issues with Obama. If Obama's elected result by that, and in third year, They will say to themselves. yuk what happened to me, why I have not looked into it before, now its too late and its Obama's fault for screw up the country.

Are there any current MP3 Players/personal electronics NOT made in China?
Are there any current MP3 Players/personal electronics NOT made in China?
Hello, Lately, I have noticed that I hardly encounter any electronics being made in Japan anymore. It seems that Japanese manufacturers must have outsourced everything to China to save money, which can sometimes mean that they have sacrificed quality to make a profit. While I have had a few decent Chinese-made goods, I prefer Japanese goods hands down, primarily because of their solid QA record and the formidable Japanese work ethic... I was thinking of buying an MP3 player/video player combo as well as a digital camera, but nearly all the ones I have seen at Wal-Mart, etc are made in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, or even Vietnam (which is supposedly trying to become a smaller, cheaper version of China in the manufacturing sector).. If anyone knows of any electronics that are still made in Japan (or even the USA- I know that will bring a laugh to some people but you never know) please let me know. I am partial to the quality I am used to, and although China may have Japanese quality control, they are still too new on the scene to elicit any interest from me. Thanks again!
