OT: Saddam Hussain

[boldie]

Hang on, are you saying that standing in opposition to the death penalty means we approve of murderers.

For me, the most ludicrous argument in favour of the death penalty is that it's cheaper to execute people than punish them by other means.

I take it back, we have a new winner. 

I am saying, & I said, nothing of the sort.

But all this "we have no right to take human life" balarney makes me smile. I repeat, presumably Murderers DO have that right?

lol I can't believe I have to type this but;

No they don't..that's why it's against the law.

Sorry wise old man..but what you said doesn't make much sense.

Maybe he made a lot of sense, we're just not old and wise enough to see it yet.

Something to look forward to I guess.

"Wise old man" (misread?) is simply paraphrasing wise young beagle who thinks, & said....

".....when it comes to human life, I don't think any being on this planet has the right to play God and make a decision regarding whether someone's life will continue or not...."

One assumes it follows that he does not think Murderers have to comply with this. The victim certainly get's no choice.

Murder is wrong, I think we're all on the same page on that anyway and don't need much too much convincing.

If two wrongs made a right, you would have a very strong argument indeed.

[ItsMrAlex2u]

It isnt as simple as saying all murderes should be executed etc but the prosecution should have the power to ask for it in the most extreme cases. Ian Huntley is the obvious one. I cant possibly understand why anyone would be againt having him killed in the most slow and painful way possible.

Somone explain to me why someone who kills and sexually abuses 2 young girls and then burns their bodies should have any rights??

That is the ultimate example i know but there is probably 25% of the murders that deserve it. Like those kids who stabbed that guy coming out of the tube station to nick his phone. Scum of the earth. They should swing.

Oh, and errr.... Happy new year !!

There are some commemorative Saddam T-Shirts selling on eBay.

They're a bit tight around the neck, but they hang well.

i have to be carefull here coz people will think i am with sadam,,,..but i do know personaly one of his lawyers from the old days 20 years ago,,,,he never agreed with sadams regime,,,,but he strongly said that the country was a safer place when he was in power and people knew where they were with him,,

In the same way the Jews knew where they were with Hitler.  In the same way that anyone who might have potentially been a threat to Pol Pot in Cambodia knew where they were.  The same way the Muslims in the former Yugoslavia were clear where they stood with Milošević.

Bet all those people were delighted to know where they stood.
