The quote on the front page is so drenched in arrogance, it's incredible. We need a Chinese villain in the next Bond movie, enough with these French and Russian guys.
Also, if they're saying it's enough to cause x number of deaths and that's justification, what do they do if you're caught with a gun with a full clip? Ooh, thirteen bullets, that's over a dozen murder charges.
Alright, so, the Chinese executed a guy smuggling heroin.
The family claims said guy was mentally ill.
Said family does not monitor the mans actions, as he takes a strangers suitcase into a foreign country. If that was indeed what happened.
Shouldn't the family monitor him, or pay for someone to watch him so he doesn't do this kind of stuff if he is mentally ill?
Maybe I'm just way too tired for this kind of stuff.
Who has the money to employ a team of people to follow someone 24 hours a day? Short of confining him to a mental hospital (and if there was no indication he was a danger to himself or others, that wouldn't be a viable option), I don't see what they could have done.
It's disgusting that they wouldn't let him see a doctor. Typical Chinese goverment power tripping bullshit. Apparently they don't even tell prisomers when they're being killed. Worst surprise party ever.

Yeah, I can see that, I'm not certain how mentally ill they claimed him to be.
I mean he seems to have been sane enough to get a pass port and know hot to get to China, so.
Well I guess if you're a jew in germany, what else do you expect? It's not as if the germans didn't make it clear being jewish is offensive!
And yes, I am comparing judaism to heroin
only natalie portman though
my point being, defending awful laws because they are laws is a fucking stupid thing to do
well because of the GLORIOUS FIRST PAST THE POST system
it's probably going to be a land-slide
i'd rather have four more years of labour than the tories in power
Same thing really. We're just swapping one set of rich tosspots who only care about themselves for another, slightly richer set.
I miss the old Labour Party. The one that hated anyone that made more than £30,000, and couldn't get elected. I guess I vote Socialist Labour now, or Lib Dem? Doesn't really matter, Labour will win up here, and the Torys will win overall.

being killed for it sure does. but generally being opposed to the death penalty for any reason my have a part in thinking that.
Yeah but how is that calculated? They're kind of a huge country so if that's just a straight figure then you could also say they have the most crimes and the most women.

Japan likes capital punishment okay too.
Lets not even get started on Singapore. Singapore probably feels like China is kind of half-assing the whole capital punishment thing.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

Yes, okay, thank you
Regardless of the fact that this man was probably willfully smuggling heroin into China, regardless of the fact that he most likely had all of his mental faculties, that kind of drug law is retarded
Hundreds of emails sent by Shaikh to the British embassy in Warsaw from 2005 reveal the state of his mind. In the messages, obtained by Reprieve, he claimed to have spoken to the angel Gabriel and explained that he could have foiled the July 7 bombings in 2005, had he only been allowed to hold a press conference. One email appeared to be a letter to Father Christmas.

i'd like to think people don't like either of them enough to let it be anything other than a close run thing

as far as i can tell, their manifesto is "at least we're not labour!"

We'd end up with Boris as PM.
the lib dems want to change it
ironic because they will never be in power because of it
being killed for it sure does. but generally being opposed to the death penalty for any reason my have a part in thinking that.

I wanna go to china so much, but at the same time i really want to avoid the chinese government while i am there.
It doesn't change at all
it isn't most capitol punishments per person
it's just, 70% of all
maybe they comprise 70% of the population of the world that lives in countries that have capital punishment
5000+
next up is iran with around 350, so i was off with the 70%
o_O

I had to read that twice to realise how brilliant it is
on another note I gate coming here on my phone this thing sucks
because it is somehow cut with cyanide
Yes, okay, thank you

the same cannot be said for their logic
That is kind of brilliant. The Chinese government is furious with people who force them to execute them.

Oh shit the dude is English isn't he? Yeah he's dead meat.
He was definitely a sane man and the Chinese courts were right to refuse to let him have a psychiatric examination.
this is a good post, bemis.
way to go, buddy.
