I agree and I generally do not advocate the death penalty. I guesswe all have a way that we imagine we would deal with issues like this. I admit, my way would be harsh..... -
Paedophiles are not civilised so why should we treat them in a civilised manner?Originally posted by Old GregFair enough - sorry about that - I typed it with a smile, but you wouldn't have seen that. But the chopping of of limbs and things is kind of Sharia in a way (or Medieval if you prefer). I like to think we're a bit more civilised nowadays.
You may trot out the line about us lowering ourselves and becoming as bad as the criminal if we treat them inhumanely - but that is just ballocks. We should be protecting our kids and not pandering to criminal sub-humans.
The kids matter, the paedos don't.Comment

I do not agree with Sharia law generally but in some respects I think they have it right.Originally posted by Old GregFair enough - sorry about that - I typed it with a smile, but you wouldn't have seen that.

I hope the abuctors of Maddie are caught in Saudi Arabia or somewhere similar and tried there. The sentences hand out there would be a much better result than our namby pamby european justice systems could ever produce.Comment

No it's not just ballocks, it's a different viewpoint. I don't believe in killing (or maiming) criminals as a judicial tool, simple as that. As for protecting kids, a life sentence with no parole would do that.Originally posted by WotNxtPaedophiles are not civilised so why should we treat them in a civilised manner?

A life sentence? By that you mean 12 years...of watching tele, playing PS2, living in a cell with duvets etc???Originally posted by Old GregNo it's not just ballocks, it's a different viewpoint.

You missed the 'without parole'. We can debate the conditions later - it's the death bit that bothers me.Originally posted by angusgloverA life sentence? By that you mean 12 years...of watching tele, playing PS2, living in a cell with duvets etc???

Unfortunately I don't think there would be enough room on the Thames for all the boats you'd need. Perhaps they could row off to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and then round in circles - plenty of room out there.
Alternatively, you could get them running on treadmills to generate electricity and reduce the need for CO2 emissions from power stations - again with no nuts!Comment

I suggest you leave their nuts where they are. They may come in handy when you have to release someone wrongly convicted. One day that might be you.Originally posted by WotNxt
