Oh yeah the home counties are exactly like Brixton and south London :rolleyes:
This is about The Death Penalty and tbh the debate is going nowhere near that now.
Thanks.
True. For unfortunate reasons.
that post was edited, was that bit add later ?
If not I apologise but in all honesty how can you discuss drugs which is such a big topic in itself along with the Death penalty which also is a big subject ? I do not think they both can be discussed in one thread. Also the title of the thread does say The Death Penalty.
Yes
So your point was?
Sorry for derailing the thread. I did suggest that giantno2 read this thread http://vbulletin.thesite.org.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56193 a couple of pages back.
So then tell me why I would go to the 1st page of a topic when we are now on the 9th page ?
I think that if the executions are publicised enough (not necessarily shown live or anything, just giving newspaper coverage and television news summaries) then it will progressively deterr people from committing crimes which result in being given the death sentence.
In answer to Kermit's earlier argument that death row prisons will cost more and will be regularly filled:
The crime committed to receive the death sentence will obviously have to be pretty severe. I doubt if the death penalty was used now that there would be that many people punished using it because attrocious crimes are not committed every day. Still to the people who are thinking of committing such crimes, it'll serve a nice reminder as to the consequences if caught.
They're still similar
Most child molestors for example do so because of an uncontrolable deviant sexual urge. You are not going to deter these people.
And does it not say something for a society when we have to broadcast state murder to keep its citizens in line?
Fuckin'ell. Did you ever go to school?
The home counties are the counties that border London. They are generally very suburban, middle class and sedate. Quite the antithesis of somewhere like Brixton.
I live in north london, does that mean i live in the home counties?
Yeh cos Brixton is a cosmopolitan urban shit-hole.
So how is that similar to the home counties?
But aren't the similarities I mentioned true? Perhaps not, I havent been to Brixton for about a year.
As for you Bongbudda, your 'don't stoop to his level' shit is tireing me now.
Although, to be honest, although I think you are quite an offencive racist, you have sparked off good debates here and I think you have reminded us all that there are people who see the world very differently from us.
And that wasn't arsey, I dont think you want to see 'arsey'.
