A poster on the thread about Rika Tolentino Kato has used to the word “bitches” to describe Western women – I find this extremely offensive and would like this removed please

Ok Jack it’s done but with swear words I just ask that the vowels be replaced with * or the word be mis-spelled so that the sting is taken out of it.

Hi Patung !

I have not been able to get “my” Gravatar. Is it because I am not on IE, but on Mozilla ?
By the way, as an editor, I appreciate the general rules you propose.
Terima kasih lagi !

Patung,

Totally off topic I know, but I know of no other way to communicate with you, so my apologies.

Why is your avatar the only one which I can see on Indonesia Matters, I registered with Gravatar, and for a short while was able to see my avatar, but for the last few weeks nothing, is it a problem with the gravatar servers or with Indonesia Matters?

Regards and Respect

Fanglong and Mohammed, the site which serves the gravatars, gravatar.com, is under re-construction, so it’s not working. My gravatar still shows up because it is locally hosted on Indonesiamatters.com. By the way you can contact me from the about page.

Selamat pagi Patung !

Thank you for all.
Now that I feel “allowed” to post here, I’m shy…

Salam !

A REPUBLIC OF HUMANITY
By: Eddy Sendouw

(This poem is purposely issued to support the Human’s Rights for all)

If I could have a chance to build
I wouldn’t like to build a starry palace
Neither a mansion nor a big house on a hill
But a hut, the only hut for human-race.

If I could do something for a pleasure
I wouldn’t like to please the rich people
Neither the capitalist nor the millionaire
But to sing a simple song for the poor neighbor.

If I could be a ruler for to reign
I wouldn’t like to be a man of authority
Neither a caesar nor a king
But a citizen in a Republic of Humanity.

There, I can have a chance to own my property
There, I can do something in a real reality
There, I can be a big ‘Big-boss’ with a dignity
Yes in there, in a hut of a Republic of Humanity.

The police who perpetrate crimes against children should be held more accountable, and punished greater than people who are not sworn to uphold the laws.

dear Patung,

this is a stupid question, but i have to ask it nevertheless since this is my first time ever logging in to this site. (yes, i know. i should get out more often ^^)

is there a membership on this site that one must register to before one is allowed to comment on the discussion board?

i have written and submitted one comment on the lively Dating Indonesian Girl topic
when i realised that there is a fair chance that my comment won’t be posted
since i am not a member of this site.
i’m afraid that it’s my heart overlapping my head again ^^

looking forward to hearing from you. your answer will be much appreciated.

cheers,
Dita.

Hi Dita, the first ever comment you make regardless of whether you have registered has to be manually approved by me, so anyhow your comment on the Dating thread is there now.
