Point taken

All good causes, and thanks for agreeing again Can you do me a favour and stop that ice burg from melting? Pretty Please



Were you talking metophorically or literally? ! Well (literally) I think its too late to stop any ice melting . The more it melts, the more it releases more nasty gases and thus speeds up the greenhouse effect. Its the same with the perma frost in Siberia - it is just soggy mud now and also releasing poisons. This is without even considering that a new coal power station is being built in China EVERY MONTH on average. Its just too late .

Anyway, don't get me started - back to topic

i think it should be noted that the usa did not come up with the concept of an 'eye for an eye'. the code of hammurabi is one of the earliest sets of laws and it originated in mesopotamia....which is now iraq.

i find it very frustrating that the us is blamed for all the ills in the world and yet the usa is the first called upon when disaster strikes somewhere else in the world......a call the usa always answers.

I have only one group of people that I believe should get the death penalty and i will not say what league of people I would subject to that punishment



Very hypocritical! How can you raise your voice to the government? You are either for or against the death penalty. How can you justify killing one and not the other? On what moral basis, and then according to whose theory of righteousness and punishment? We could all justify our wrong actions. I prefer the simple saying: two wrongs don't equal a right!

And for all you 'eye for an eye' people, there is also a saying, "turn the other cheek!"

+1! if we always avenged people who did wrong against us then the world would be in a far worse situation than it is now.it takes a bigger person to walk away from the argument than it does to reciprocate

All of them? Ummm I only counted one person (Christine) who was NOT vehemently against the hanging

I am strongly against capital punishment and believe Saddam should have been jailed for life. However "turn the other cheek" cannot be used where serious crimes are involved! Do you suggest "turning the other cheek" to ALL crime (including murderers, child molesters etc? )

I meant stop looking for revenge, not implying letting criminals run the streets freely! However, I am adamantly against the death penalty in all cases.
