Well aren't you just the lil renagade anarchist.
Im not saying i follow all the rules, and if i was caught breaking a law id fight it to the death, but..
I was still wrong.
Analogy:
In NFL, you take one step out of bounds with the ball, you are out of bounds.. would u say you to the NFL and never watch it again just because your favorite player was really just 2 inches out of bounds? I mean its just 2 inches right? they shouldnt have called it right? No. they have to call it, or nore corruption and lawbreaking follows..
Believe me, ive lived in corrupt nations nearly my whole life. , ive bribed cops for various things.
Get out of your bubble. |

dude, its not pointless. You're letting your emotions get in the way. As harsh and horrible as it may be; the guy should've known better. Singapore has laws set up, some harsher than others, but those are their laws and it's the nation's duty to enforce them. |

It's a pointless waste of time because you can't see the other side of the argument.
, i may just be playing devils advocate. |

well then blame his government. Not Singapore, even though it may be completely unjust in our eyes to execute someone for smuggling drugs. |

Singapore is crazy...It's the last place I would bring drugs, let alone traffic them, the guy knew the risk he was taking...yeah it's bull that they execute him but you gotta abide by the rules wherever you are.
I just looked at the poll on the CNN site where they ask 'Do you agree countries should execute people for non-violent crimes such as drug smuggling?' and 34% of people say YES...wtf is wrong with people? |

My state has capital punishment - PA, so do many states. Don't get me wrong - I SUPPORT DEATH PENALTY, WHEN APPLICABLE. As example, tell me if this local does not deserve to die: he comes home and takes his 3 months old crying baby by his feet and smashes his head up against the wall. If you don't think a scumbag like that deserves to die - you're seriously ed. |
Yes he does deserve to die, except I don't think the government should have the power to take his life. They are hypocrites if they do that. They're saying killing is wrong, and then to have justice served they kill?
I say jail for life. Let them rot there with having to live with the guilt for what they've done. Killing them is giving them the easy way out. |

| i wish the US had laws like that. commit rape, cut your weewee off. murder in the 1st or second degree = mandatory secdule as a midnite pinata. Smuggling hardcore drugs = get high... get off high off the ground before you suddenly come right back down. |
