Bali Bomber Convicted, Sentenced to Death

[St Leo]

Death penalty sucks.

He belongs in a Finnish Prison. That's the only place where the wrongness of his actions will actually sink in. Something like an American or Turkish prison would only make him feel like a martyr.

We kill those who kill to show that killing is wrong

how about someone who kidnaps and holds someone- and we then imprison them " we imprison those who imprison, to show that imprisoning is wrong"?

We kill those who murder. Maybe a bad idea, but not quite absurd in the way you suggest.

That's different, you see, because were not taking a human life there

Some people need to be imprisoned because they are a danger to society. I am not against that. However killing them is a bit extreme. And barbaric.

It's not about showing that killing is wrong Tass. Murder is wrong. Killing != murder. It's called punishment.

OK: Imprisonment is OK by me, but killing is barbaric.

Sure

A commie TROLL, Sava Don't you forget it!

It's called punishment.

No, it's called revenge. We like to see those who kill be killed because it gives us some perverse satisfaction.
It's sick, disgusting, barbaric....Completly backwards.

An appropriate punishment would be life in prison. But killing is NEVER a punishment.

Is there a way of killing a Muslim so he won't achieve martyrdom? Make him drink himself to death and then have his pickled body being eaten by pigs or something?
