The world imposes morals on Singapore

I've yet to see such clear cut inter-national racism in my life. Declared independent only 40 years ago, Singapore is one of the finest economic superpowers in the world, with a government that acts on behalf of its people and a legitimate desire to participate in the world economy. Unfortunately, they still have a huge amount of trouble preventing drug trafficking as being part of the Golden Triangle and also a major transportation hub.

They try to combat the growing issue by adding such a deterrent as the death penalty to trafficking- which seems to be the only thing that works, and suddenly the church, Australia, and every newspaper in the world is calling out "hey that's not right he's an Australian he has rights!"

Would this have played out differently if Australia were not bent over the bench to their economic ties? Does the World have a right to impose its double-standard morals on an entire population of people in consensus on their own land?

Tell that to the EU, noob. Any country in debt or in economic relations will always in a sense under the authority of another country.

Why do you think the US doesn't open its mouth to China? Because they know they'll get bitchslapped if they do. Also, see: Saudi Arabia. The US rubs vasaline on its ass before going to the Middle-East. There is probably not a single country on the face of the Earth that isn't in some way dictated by another country.
