Nowhere in the world is the interest of the majority so well protected than in Singapore. The use of one riot squad to handle just four unarmed portestors speaks for itself.Originally posted by Nelstar:There is no fairness in anything because the law protects only the main interest of the majority.
Frankly anyone who invoked GOD into a law issue is like a fool who goes on wheels telling everyone that without GOD all men are idiots.Originally posted by Rheoincarnate:dont twist things... come on... this is not a flaming thread.
Nelstar.. u calling me a religious jerk now?
Wat do u mean by go back to my religion.
and GOOD my god is. You dont even know me.
I'm sure after reading your comments that you are most probably a racist.
Nobody talked about any specific religion here.
NELSTAR, You dont even know my religion. Whatever are u talking about?
Frankly i think u are a nut.
Can someone please comment besides this guy.
SEE FOR YOURSELF what you mentioned.Originally posted by Rheoincarnate:if u let people die by the chair or by hanging. you are the same as them.
A murderer. tat's wat this is about.
We are responsible for that. It will be on our conscience. our sin.
This probably would be meaningles if u dont believe in God and the afterlife.
But if you do believe, then this is a dilemma.
Its easy to say kill him. But are u sure u want to take a life?
Everyone i am sure would want revenge somehow... for any wrong doings...
so the question whether revenge is wat we should be doing or whether being able to prevent ourselves from taking revenge as a good thing?

I would like you people to take a look at the Swedes. Their legal system is much less draconian, but their crime rate is on par with ours, and not that of Johor. Why is it so? Anyone found out?
Boy in Blue just happen to agree with you on this issue, nothing else.Originally posted by iveco:Before you guys turn this into a personal slanging match and incur MBT's wrath, please read and digest the post made by Boy in Blue on Page 2. His take on the case is spot on. Our society needs more people like him to ensure all suspects get a fair and decent hearing.

Capital punishment belongs to the Third Reich era. Need I say more?Originally posted by sgdiehard:Yr problem is with the singapore judicial system which you believe is not fair nor just, I can't debate with you on that. But if singapore were to have an australian, UK, EU or scandinavian system which is in yr opinion is fair and just, would capital punishment then be applicable??
Well, there seems no point in social reform, in that case.Originally posted by Nelstar:The education level between us and our elders differ so much that we must always amend the law to keep in touch with them and their lives.
We must slowly implement changes.Originally posted by iveco:Well, there seems no point in social reform, in that case.![]()

Even without the mention of God, what Rheo says is quite accurate. And besides, Buddha advocates the same too, according to the Dalai Lama. (I'm assuming you are Buddhist, since the majority of Singaporeans are Buddhists.)Originally posted by crazy monkey:not everybody believe in your God.

I think you gotta ask Robert Teh about this one. If I am not wrong, he posted something about the Swiss system of referendum regatrding important policies in his "Definition of True Democracy" thread. It's a long thread, though. Surprised that it's still alive. But I must say the posts there are getting boring.Originally posted by Nelstar:Did they get everyone to tell them?![]()

Does killing animals to ensure survival of the human species constitute mass murder of animas?
Does taking a life in warfare relegate you to the rank of a coldblooded butcher? (read: the Crusades)
The issue of hanging ultimately must boil down to more than conscience. We as human beings are guilty of many sins if we have to look at it in pure simplistic terms. However society or the world in general has found convenient excuses to "forget" or internalise some, making them acceptable.
