Killing is wrong.... killing as an immediate act of self defense is understandable but in cold blood, I can never accept. [lights blue touch paper]

WTF did you get banned for?

Telling the truth that the french don't wash up properly?

I'd personally stick the rope around his neck and give the thumbs up to the guy kicking the chair.

I think it would be hard to have sympothy for such people... or guilt.

But yea i do think cold blooded killing is pretty damn untasteful unless in self defense. There are exceptions though.

I'm sure that I dont' have all of the answers... but, for me a good starting position would be that a civilised world........
Would ensure that all of it's citizens had access to all of the basic essential requirements of life, health and education irrespective of their income or class and would not support the killing of it's citizens.

My money is on the evening of Dec 31st. i thought about this one, about his death sentence and I think on reflection I would pull the lever personally.

What do you think should be done to a man who killed 180,000 people? (Of course this verdict was only for a few hundred people)

"Saddam is currently in the midst of another trial, charged with genocide and other crimes during a 1987-88 military crackdown on Kurds in northern Iraq. An estimated 180,000 Kurds died during the operation."

WE let it happen.... are we equally guilty?

How many people have our leaders slaughtered in OUR names....are we all equally guilty?

WE did not give the order, nor pull the trigger. (Well maybe you did, but I did not...I don't want to speak for you)

How could WE have prevented it? An invasion?

Equally? No. I did not ask nor order anyone to kill. The person who does the dead, or orders it is much more culpable.

Fair... points.. (wasn't my finger either, but our leaders are as guilty as him, in their own way - they are responsible for the deaths of innocents - a large number of them too)

But back to my earlier rant..

I dont support capital punishment. It's not that I'm religious but our (and probably your) laws are based upon Christian values (as good a code as any) and thus one of His biggies... 'Thou shall NOT kill'. No caveats, no ifs, no buts, no, well if someone is naughty, may we can kill them a little bit - THOU SHALL NOT KILL (full stop/period)

Actually, the proper translation is "murder" and not "kill". Thou shall not commit murder. The Bible is filled with cases of God tossing out appeals and giving the go-ahead for capital punishment. God himself carried out mass executions by destroying entire cities and civilizations. Of course, he didn't hang 'em all (rope was a valuable commodity back then)....he used fires and floods.
No, I'm not a Bible thumper, just some stuff I remember from Sunday school. I also feel the death penalty should only be used in extreme cases, and this is one of those cases.
