      grog want tank...Grog Want Tank... GROG WANT TANK!

      The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

        Surely not, but I do think he's right that the Pakistani side is worse.

          When I read this on Stuff, it seemed really odd (no, I mean more so than the even actually is). The article itself is as detached as they seem to be.

            I wonder if "finding out what it's like to spend the rest of your life in prison" was next on their list.

              Why this case? If it were repeat offenders, or hardened criminals that pose a (very limited) threat even when incarcerated, that'd make some sense, but this type of incoherent murder is about as far from justifying capital punishment as you can get. These are the kind of people that we need to study more to figure out what goes haywire in a person's brain. Killing them just closes doors to preventing such terrible events in the future.

                It seems very strange - very detached - very scary really........

                I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

                  Just imagine if it were on their list as the next thing - then how the hell would you punish them?

                      The only real opposition to it I've ever had is relating to mistrials where innocent people are executed. If someone is completely unreformable...well...it's damn expensive to keep them locked up...

                        Still doens't make sense. In the US (since Australia doesn't have the DP) it's actually more expensive to seek the DP than to house the criminal for life.

                          How exactly would you go about finding that out? Nobody will ever learn a ****ing thing from these two wastes of organic matter. We don't have the technology to study them objectively (PET scans etc.) in any way meaningful to answering that question, and we can't go back in time and wire them up to see what misfired in their twisted little synapses when they planned and carried out the killing.

                          Any kind of subjective exams would be a mockery - these little twits could just entertain themselves endlessly by giving nonsensical, made up for laughs answers, or acting out, in response to interviews in a therapeutic setting.

                          If they deigned to consent in the first place.

                          Hang 'em.

                            The really scary thing is that they will, almost certainly, get out of jail at some time in the future.

                            Some shrink will one day announce them to be cured...........

                              While we're talking hypothetically, let's throw in a swift and sure DP while we're at it.

                                It sounds like their egos have inflated to such gigantic proportions that any humanity they might have had was extinguished. I see them as little more than dangerous animals who should be put down as soon as possible.
