@ vicong: Although it is true, you feel well inside, dont you? Cause the fact is, the pestilence doesnt come daily. Man made can be avoided through development and education. If you live your life properly, you don’t get much trouble, anyway.

Every disease known to man can be found somewhere in Indonesia doesnt mean anything since it is located in tropical region (and badly managed). This is about imaging. You can see a thing more from its bad or good side. It is personal option. Use own judgement.

Alas. Indonesia has been and continues to be wracked by every pestilence known to man: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, terrorism, civil strife, corruption and crime make the headlines on a depressingly regular basis.

The bad news is that every disease known to man can be found somewhere in Indonesia

now I am afraid that my country Indonesia will also prohibit/strict filtering to Google. Regarding to Youtube blocking, I think Indonesia is over reacting, obviously it is not pure govt decision but pretty much influenced by ‘the major force’ inside the govt.

other scenario is, to distract people from the real problem of the country.

Astro? well well, there is a ‘big player’ in astro competitor Indovision, so you can guess what is actually happening.
