WHY LINDSAY SANDIFORD WHY?


Lindsay Sandiford


Lindsay Sandiford



Like a fight against terrorism to ensure that everyone is safe from unexpected attacks by extreme and violent Muslim radicals, the same way worldwide, governments are fighting against drugs to ensure good health for its citizens.


The drug menace, destruction and its drastic effect on people have dented and inflated the medical cost of many countries in which citizens have been plagued by illegal usage of drugs. America could be one of the countries in the world with an expensive health care system.

I felt very bad after reading Lindsay Sandiford’s arrest, for allegedly smuggling cocaine worth £1.6 million into Bali, one of the Islands that make up Indonesia

What at all pushed the 56-year-old woman to involved herself in such a situation, knowing perfectly well that when caught she wouldn’t easily get out of this? At her ripe age, this is the time Lindsay should have a nice happy life but not this kind.

In Asia, drug-related crime is considered very serious and one could even face a death penalty. “People who sell drugs are wicked, greedy and have no regard for human lives. 

Therefore, when they are caught, we have no sympathy for them”. This was said by a prison warder being interviewed in a Thailand jail. “They will rot here to death”. He concluded.

The television crew showed a section of the jail that had many foreign inmates, including Africans, mostly from Nigeria. With this kind of treatment to arrested drug couriers, I wouldn’t know how  Lindsay Sandiford would survive in these brutal conditions in an Asian jail.

She covered her face as she was brought out to face the media at a press conference in Kuta, a holiday town on the Indonesian island. Has she regretted now or simply covering her face from the media? 
Her humiliation increased when she was pictured sitting at a table surrounded by packages wrapped up in brown tape as a customs official cut them open with a knife, after being stopped with the 4.7kg haul in a suitcase as she arrived in Bali on a flight from Bangkok, Thailand on May 19, according to Indonesian customs official Made Wijaya

The British government doesn’t condone or encourage its nationals involved in drug trafficking, yet its foreign mission there must negotiate with the Bali government for Lindsay to be deported to face trial on British soil. 

Britain has the power to do that because it cares about its nationals. But would Lindsay’s arrest serve as a deterrent to those that wanted a to be a millionaire overnight?

A gambler is always a gambler. He only quits gambling when he is poor. But as soon as something comes into his pocket, you will see him once again around the gambling table.

Drug trafficking is a lucrative business, until the arrival of Jesus Christ, probably, thousands would be incarcerated for drug-related offenses.

THE MOUTH IS LITTLE ON THE BODY BUT CAN GET YOU INTO BIG TROUBLE

The mouth sings and eats, yet can be very poisonous when angry


The mouth sings and eats, yet it can be very poisonous when angry.



The Oxford dictionary defines the ‘Mouth’ as an opening in the head, through which food is taken in and sounds uttered. Personally, I feel that this definition is incomplete.

The actual definition of the ‘Mouth’ should have been “An opening in the head, through which food is taken in, sounds uttered, and part of the human body that could get one into big trouble.”

The mouth serves man in his speech. He gets satisfaction after eating and drinking water. The beautiful songs or melodious tunes, with words of comfort, come from the mouth, making life worthy and happy to live,  yet the same mouth is something that could bring discomfort, worries, troubles, and even imprisonment to a man.

In 1999, Glenn Hoddle lost his job as manager of the England national team after his comments against disabled people. Glenn Hoddle said, “Disabled people are paying for sins in a previous life”, resulting in his dismissal from work. 

This is a typical example of what the mouth can cause. Total disgrace and embarrassment.

Liam Stacey spent 56 days in jail over his racial tweet against Bolton player Fabrice Muamba. Fabrice collapsed while playing. If Liam wasn’t prepared to wish him a speedy recovery, he shouldn’t have said anything bad against the footballer at the point of death; instead, he posted racial remarks on Twitter, provoking many people around the world.

This is not the first or the last careless talk or speech that has cost people’s jobs or led them to jail. There is trouble brewing in every part of the world, and people’s lives have been turned upside down, all because of what someone said against someone.  

I can say that there are two kinds of people.  Those who think before they speak and those who speak before they think. The latter one is those who are likely to be in trouble over what they say.

In my country, there is a proverb that says, “If you see a stone with a beard, just watch it and go. Don’t speak. This proverb is a warning to people who can’t shut their mouths. 

Many people love to speak about other people. Even at work, many like to report other workers to the boss. In fact, just as some people are addicted to drugs and alcohol, there are people addicted to talking about other people. It’s their hobby, and therefore, they could never stop.

Staying out of trouble is a simple rule to follow, yet many find it difficult to be trouble-free. One of the rules that could keep people out of trouble is the practice of listening rather than speaking. An empty barrel makes a great noise. In life, great people do not speak much.

They learn by listening. It is better to be quiet for people to call you unsociable than to be called a gossiper, talkative, and inquisitive. Proverbs 17:28. 'Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.'

ORAL SEX AND ITS ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS


Oral lovemaking


Oral lovemaking


It’s the duty of every man (if he doesn’t want to be called selfish) to give his girlfriend or partner, the best sex or satisfaction, which her partner will be addicted to for the rest of her life, making her long for more every day, whether in the summer, winter, rain, kitchen, bathroom, or anywhere the love will ignite.


But just as too much kindness could sometimes give one worries, in the same way, trying to give a woman (especially one you don’t know) the best sex, via oral, could also put one's health in danger. 

Oral sex, in short, is giving or receiving oral stimulation to the clitoris. This kind of lovemaking is much adored by thousands of women worldwide that some women could deny penetration when the person fails to perform the task of oral sex.

Even though oral sex is classified as one of the best acts of love to give a woman maximum satisfaction and orgasm, several studies have shown that oral sex is, in fact, not safe for her health and therefore not a wise thing to do. 

Sexually transmitted diseases or infections are quickly detected and treated by men, but the infection could be with a woman for weeks and even months without her knowledge.

A woman can only know she has an infection when she starts discharging unfamiliar fluids or getting information from a man she had slept with. This makes oral sex more dangerous to the health of the man who is involved in oral sex with an infected woman. 

Studies have shown that an easily transmitted infection via oral sex is herpes, which usually causes cold sores around the mouth.

Another infection transmitted via oral sex is gonorrhea. Gonorrhea can not easily be spotted by an infected woman, but men quickly get the message. After urination, a burning sensation follows. It’s the most painful experience ever known. The infection is easily transmitted from an infected genital to a person’s throat.

Other diseases that, according to medical research, could be transmitted through oral sex are syphilis, which easily finds its way during sex when the person’s mouth comes into contact with an open sore or skin rash caused by the infection. 

Finally, it is chlamydia, which affects the throat via oral sex, but according to research, this isn’t as common as the others.
