If you don't like Singapore stay away. If someone else is stupid enough to go there with drugs strapped to him it's nothing to do with the Unions. Good grief when do some people stop poking their nose in business that doesn't concern them.

I dont live in singapore -I live in Brisbane, i dont consider the laws in singapore, china, uzbekistan, turkmenistan, d.r. congo to be my concern - and the point I was making is that this should not be the concern of a bunch of trade unionists.

Years ago in times of severe babarism all over the world youd only concern yourself about your own little community / clan etc

In case you havent noticed, its now the 21st century and while each country has its own laws, we are slowly moving towards a world where killing a person for a crime isnt acceptable.

You stay in your own narrow minded small world, but there is a world out there and no matter what you or the other pro-death people say here, one day there wont be any death penalty.

And before you say another word about this mans crime or the numbers of deaths caused by drugs, remember, its NOT about his crime, its about babarism that allows his death.

As for it not being any business of the union...... Well, they have every right to protest in trying to preserve life. Or is your mind so focused on what this trafficker did you are blind.

I would like to know exactly what your views are on life and how you would cope in a world full of people like yourself.

You mentioned something about reincarnation and that he may come back as an ant or beetle...... I think a few on this forum have already reincarnated into one hedgehog......... Lots of pricks on them hedgehogs

If you dont believe in anyone having rights, why are you in australia ?

Crikey, I must be ill, because I actually am with you 100% on this one Luke. Killing someone out of revenge and retribution by the state was something our ancestors did and shouldn't have a place in modern society.

Must be the heat.... Are you feeling ok ?

You just make me laugh. You cant recognise that in different places in the world different punishments and retribution is required because the other consequences arent so bad compared to normal life for many. In a 3rd world country being put in jail where you get fed 3 times a day is no punishment - having your hand chopped off for stealing something is aminor irritation - but being beheaded is of course a deterrent.

Id like to know where your actions and activities were on the other 999 executions in the US and the other 420 singaporean executions ,and the ones in bali etc... or are you just jumping on this bullshit bandwagon... methinks the latter.

Feel free to post all the things you did for those other executions so we can be assured that we're all wrong and you are the paragon of preservation of others rights that you set yourself out to be.

Quite how you have interpreted my statements to suggest that I dont believe in others having rights and can correlate that to living in a western democracy is beyond me.

Ummm, maybe this statement firstly:

I had thought that you had pointed that out above seeing as you agree we live in a western democracy and have every right to protest.

As for the other statements youve made regarding bali, us etc and the deaths there, I might ask you the same question as to where was your support for the murders was not that it matters.

Is it your view then that you as a person shouldnt commit even the smallest of crimes since somewhere in the world it would be seen as a majot crime ? Or you feel safe that you can commit a certain crime in your own country because you know the penalties are not babaric ?

Ever photocopied a page from a book for a uni course or downloaded copyrighted material ? I asked someone else this question, I believe the answer was a lie......

Well in case you hadn't noticed some states in the USA are polishing up their electric chairs with a view to ramping up the number of execution. It is you who live in a narrow world. It's not barbarism, it is riding the world of scumbags which is a thoroughly decent thing to do.

Have I got some eye opening news for you...

Lethal Injection Can Cause Excruciating Pain'


From the Beeb

Prisoners executed by lethal injection in the US may have been aware of what was happening to them, researchers claim.
A team from the University of Miami looked at information on anaesthesia and awareness in prisoners.

They suggest some suffer unnecessarily, and claim standards do not meet those for putting animals down.

The researchers, writing in the Lancet, call for the use of lethal injection to cease to prevent "unnecessary cruelty".

In America, lethal injection is the most common way that people are legally put to death, largely because it is seen as relatively humane and does not violate the US Constitution's Eight Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.

Prisoners are first given sodium thiopental, which acts as an anaesthetic before pancuronium bromide is given to cause paralysis. Potassium chloride is then given to cause death.

Without anaesthesia, the person would experience suffocation and excruciating pain - but would not be able to move.

The researchers collected information from the states of Texas and Virginia, where around 45% of executions in the US are carried out.

For what it is worth, my view is that States/Countries etc should set an example and the highest possible moral standards. It should be wrong to kill anyone for any reason. Anything below the highest standard in this creates dilema and debate over the machinations and reasons behind all sorts of Illegal action.

Surely people on here, even the most ardent punitive supporter, must realise the fundamental base of human kind. "It is wrong to Kill" What is wrong with that being a Mandatory world law, with all "civilised states" leading the way.

Your real name must be simon templer......

A very sad man indeed, but I am happy the time when your kind was in the majority has long since past, centuries ago...

SHOCK HORROR

Arkon agrees with Luke.....I cannot believe it.
In fact anyone agreeing with Luke I cannot believe.
This bloke could have an arguement in a cupboard with himself.

No, I hadn't noticed. In fact, even in that backward, God fearing country polls suggest the tide seems to be turning...towards the views of the First World.

There seems to have been enough cases of wrongful conviction found even for them.

The wife agrees with you but I wouldnt kill her

he has paid the price dont take a piss at some of these countries ,ignorance of their laws is no excuse . dont do drugs in strict countries especially the islamic ones or simply dont go there if you do go there make sure you obey their laws. i hope this will serve as a deterant to other will be drug smuglers.

how about going for a walk in the park, play soccer , go for a pint instead of smuggling drugs. unfortunately the death penalty has has not really helped reducing crime in most countries with capital punishment. despite that longlive the death penalty and i will vote for it anytime anyday.

may the mans soul rest in peace
