    re-imprisoned for possession of child porn is evidence of why we should have the death pelanty.

    This mystifies me. He was 11 when he committed murder. Are they actually suggesting we should've hanged an 11 year-old child?

    Would have been jolly good sport in addition to signalling we had regained

    I must admit I waver on the death penalty thing. I can see the arguments for and against, but am ultimately repulsed by many of its advocates' apparent bloodlust. I suppose that I ultimately am sufficiently squeamish and liberal to feel that it just isn't the sort of thing a civilised society ought to be doing.

    Obviously, I make an exception for people who don't indicate at roundabouts. I would personally shoot them in the back of the neck and sleep peacefully.

    As a punishment it does fit the crime on occasion all the same. Your female sense of squeamishness does not come into it as you don’t have to stand and watch it, a public beheading as such.

    Fúck them, ****s at the bar ordering coffee and then paying by card.

    There is certainly a far stronger moral argument for hanging his parents.

    Genuinely.

    Oh, yes. People who order coffee in pubs would definitely get the old 'Genickschuss' as well. But that's pure, legitimate fury. It's the cold-blooded judicial type of killing I find distasteful.

    More seriously, the aptness of the punishment is less important to me than what it does to the society and people who endorse it.

    Paying by card can be quicker than with cash these days. Yesterday I bought something for £1, had no change and would have had to split a 20. TAP with a card, job done.

    The death penalty is alive and kicking (as such) in the USA and there is a very rounded society.

    If you read my proposal you will see I am not suggesting we outlay the practice of tapping.

    Apology accepted.

    Ftr I don’t tap.
