Fortunately nothing bothers me. I was just pointing out that you'd suddenly become a right do-gooder instead of the light hearted pisstaking poster you used to be.
Lighten up a bit.

I fully believe this guy took the easy way out to get money and got caught and has to pay the penalty and should not be compared to people who fought during WW1.

If you find my views boring, please don't trouble yourself reading them, particularly if you can't understand them.
I don't need to enhance my arguments by associating my views with ancestors' war service.

Are you trying to compare some tool who tried to make easy money smuggling drugs around the world and my great grandad who fought for king and country back in the day?

I was reading the link and it appears that Singapore is keen to kill Van Nguyen. Having watched Ray Martin last night (which I know is seriously economic with the truth) I was amazed at the number of Australians that didn't care about this poor man's life.
I accept he's an idiot for doing what he did and his mitigating circumstances are pretty poor. And I accept drug running is bad and he should go to jail for a long time. However I do not accept the argument that he knew the law and took the risk. When a country has antiquated laws that bear no proportionality to the crime, then we should stand against it. Execution for this crime is ridiculous and obviously serves no purpose in terms of deterrence. It is purely vengence perpetrated by an inhumane Government that has no value for human life and maintains antiquated values long disposed of by humanitariam nations.
What are your thoughts on this?

However I very much disagree with you comment that...
"Execution... serves no purpose in terms of deterrence."
Come off it!! You reckon that the fact they havent backed down even under international pressure, and still executed this guy, that it doesnt act as a deterrance!!! No way!!!
