Originally posted by Martin schady:Singapore, as it is the world’s leading country in use of death penalty per capita. Just wondering what other ppl think of the use of capital punishment. What crimes should it be used more for what crimes should it be used less for or should it be used at all?Please justify and explain all ansewrs no 1 liners.Personally I think that 2 consenting adults should be able to do whatever they want without the government getting in their business. Also violence begets violence.
statistic on "per capita" basis is all bull shit, it doesn't say anything.
so what is your understanding of the law and how it is being enforced in Singapore? if you don't understand it, go read it. We don't justify to you.
What has "2 consenting adults" got to do with death penalty? you mean as long as 2 adults agree to kill cold bloodedly, peddle drugs, or use firearms to rob, they can do whatever they want and government can't do anything?
we are not living in jungle here, where do you come from?
if u kill a murderer, do u rape a rapist?
I would like to see it being applied to other crimes, such as repeated child rapists and llife sentence punishments, cause let's not waste taxpayers' money giving free lifelong lodging and food.
putting forth personal agendas into criminal justice defeats the foundation behind what justice is....it has to be weighed on a case to case basis due to its particularities than at large, and its level of dangers and harm to the society...even human rightists' total abolishment of capital punishment does not serve the society good at the extreme end...and likely end up in an unstable state from the socio-economic perspective as well...
capital punishment should be dealt with reservations but it still has to be evoked categorically, and a thorough and constant review of the criminal procedures and judicial system is important....
it is critical to note that the concurrent majority may or may not be in the right state of mind to decide over capital punishments, given its multiple agendas, motives, angst and emotive elements etc, though and it should be served as an essential social reference..
I think death penalty should be used for all crimes lah, you steal? you go die... you lie to teacher? you go die... like this our house will not keep going up, then the descendants cannot buy all good people never do crime but no money to live in house... worse than death.
btw, please take my words above as a pinch of salt, it was meant to be sarcasm for the high property prices.
"statistic on "per capita" basis is all bull shit, it doesn't say anything".
Do you know what per capita means? Please go through a dictionary because it is not "bullshit" at all it is simply stating facts on a % bassis. It also says a lot it says that Singapore is a leading country in executing their own people.
"so what is your understanding of the law and how it is being enforced in Singapore? if you don't understand it, go read it. We don't justify to you."
I understand the law quite well, just because something is a law does not mean it has been justified.
"What has "2 consenting adults" got to do with death penalty? you mean as long as 2 adults agree to kill cold bloodedly, peddle drugs, or use firearms to rob, they can do whatever they want and government can't do anything?"
Realy was hoping you would atleast be able to grasp the idea of this concept but it appears you were unable to =(. I did not mean 2 consenting adults can do something to another individual that is not consenting, I meant they can do what ever they want with eachother. If some one does not want to be killed but some one kills that person that is murder. If some one wanted to be killed and some one wanted to kill that person and their proper legal documentation was all prepaid who are you to stop them from both having their wishes fulfilled, this does not directly effect you so who gives you the right to intervene. The same thing goes with drugs and robbery. If some one does not want to be robbed you do not have the right to rob them if some one does not want to use drugs you do not have the right to give them drugs. On the otherhand if they wanted to be robbed or use drugs why not let them. Its their life let them live it how they would like to.
we are not living in jungle here, where do you come from?
It appears you are living in a bubble with no sense of humanity, also I am from a place were freedom is a birthright and we are all able to persue are dreams without interferance.
A Better Conclusion: There are pros and cons to capital punishments.
Oh yeah we know places like that, where freedom to hurt others is a birth right.
Where psychotic rapist and killers are have their riightful place in society.
And the law abiding family had better watch out.
You let your drug peddlers and mules pursue their dreams, and let us hang our drug peddlers and mules.
Here's hoping your kid don't od.
One cleaning women with a bullet to the head.
Two teenagers, 15 and 17 years old dead.
A 18 month-old toddler dead.
One 75 year old woman seriously injured, likely to die.
A because of Nordine Amrani. who has been jailed for drug dealing and illegal arms possession, as well as holding stolen goods and other crimes. Jailed for having an arm arsenal and granted early release.
Nordine Amrani was a terrorist, who has the freedom to pursue his dreams. Thats important.
Never mind the cleaning woman, the two teenagers, the toddler and the old woman, and their families.

Yes, my dream is to kill you, now should I be punished if I really did?
