People still make sweeping judgemental statements without really knowing a lot they are commenting on.
I wonder if you include people from Sulewesi, Kalimantan, Sumatra, Celebes etc etc in the "worse than Balinese" basket?
In fact I wonder if you know the difference between Javanese and some of these other Indonesians?
One thing you clearly haven't got a grip on is that there are good and bad from everywhere and your place of birth does not dictate how good or bad you are going to be.
Javanese people make significant contributions to development on Bali as it is they who do most of the manual labour.
If you see a Balinese doing hard manual work there is a fair chance it will be a woman.
Bali has a lot to thank Javanese and other ethnic Indonesians for.
Odd instances of bad behaviour by some has been a small price to pay.
