BlueStar Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Saw the front page of the mail today, saying we have no right to lecture China for executing people caught with drugs because as a county we 'revere junkies like Kate Moss'. Not quite sure I see the logic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure I see the logic. Made me laugh like. From the viz: confuse daily mail readers by stating that paedophiles are the natural predators of immigrants. Seriously though, i'm not sure what the facts are despite reading from each side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if we criticised them for each and every state sponsored murder that they carried out - and every other backward fuckwit country that still does the same - then we might get somewhere. The sad fact is we only give a shit when it's one of our own or someone with a bit of celebrity about them and even then we don't actually do anything, the only time we've taken the moral high-ground for a while was with the Russians for killing one of their own countrymen and that was probably only because he was telling us a load of their state secrets.

Stifler Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Any execution is a barbaric and pointless exercise, especially in circumstances such as this. I bet you would be the first to be pointing a gun to someone if they murderd a family member of yours, or a peado touched someone you knew. Make no mistake about it executions are are good way for punishement in the right cases, drug smuggling though doesn't appear to be one of them.

Nah, and even if I was, that's exactly the reason why I've stated before that victims' and victims' families' views should not be taken into account either during the trial or sentencing. The whole point of having a legal system is to avoid mob-justice and ensure that convictions are sound and based upon evidence, not emotion and a desire for revenge. A great man once said "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" he was right and you are wrong. There is nothing good about executions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Being executed for drug smuggling sounds medieval. You can make a case for capital punishment for acts of pure evil (though I still wouldn't agree with it), but drug dealing falls way short of that.

The executed man's mental health problems were not taken into account either. Corruption etc. is the biggest cancer towards a country survival IMO. It is confusing also how to determine how much the punishment get for stealing something. Example people steal chicken from the neighbor house it only worth 2 pound he gets 3 month jailed time. So corruption for 10 million pound how long he get jailed time? punishment using more than human average age is absurd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniatmoko Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I don't agree with execution also... but problem is does it fair to all party? for the case execution for drug... i really don't agree with that... i don't know which country who started execution for drug at first place... i always thought since long time ago Asia already have culture in drug. Didn't it British also who involved in using drug in wars in china region long time ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 The chinese also fail to release the executed persons body. Very likely because the bodies are being harvested for transplants which will bring an income worth sustaining no doubt. Don't agree with the death penalty at all.
