Death penalty is 100% proof from re offending.

It is a question of society's right to kill him. I believe we have no such right.

In the case referred to, a man aged 42 has been sentenced to 40 years. If he serves his full sentence he may never be released.

Every day of the rest of his life, he can think about what he did and why he is behind bars.

Isn't that a better punishment than putting him to death?


meanwhile every day for the next 80 yrs, this kid gets to re-live everything they did to him. Nope, I still think it would be better for all concerned if they killed the bloke ... at least then the kid would know there is one monster under his bed who is never coming back.


thats already true.  again., all you want - all you DP-supporters ever want - is DEATH and BLOOD.

you cant even make a conherent cogent argument for the DP beyond bloodlust


that's exactly right, in these cases, I want blood .... I'll leave the arguments for you. By the way, I notice you avoided answering my question . If after he, or any other pedo, has served his sentence & moves in next door to your grandkids would you object?


its moot because he isnt getting out.  And I dont have the problem of a guilty conscience of executing criminals who may not all be actually guilty.  Thats a problem you refuse to address.


ahh, I notice now you keep your answer limited to him, whereas before you were worried about the innocent ... Ok, would you have been happy if Dennis Ferguson or any other pedo , upon his release from prison (and before dying), moved in next door to your grandkids?

As for the guilty conscience bullsh1t, I doubt it would bother me too much. As long as my intentions are honest, I accept that I cannot control everything and understand that mistakes are made and I am prepared to live with that.


ah the irony!  YOU are prepared to 'live with it'. Pity the poor innocent bugger executed.  As predicted, this is all about YOU and your bloodlust and has zero to do with justice of any kind.

Is that really the best you can come up with? That lame piece of crap? Are you so desperate to see someone die?


not someone, just a pieces of living sh1t like this bloke.

What makes you think I need to justify my position to you? I'm not trying to convince you, just don't try and convince me that pandering to these pedo's is the answer.


If you are not prepared to take a position and justify it, what the hell are you doing here? Take up lacrosse instead.

its hard to justify a position of wanting people killed to assuage your own anger and powerlessness.  Even worse when you barely give lip-service to the notion of innocence vs guilt.

which is part of why nobody listens to you or takes you seriously. if you want to be taken seriously anywhere you will actually have reasons - even poor ones - for the positions you hold. Otherwise you will be viewed as a bogon for whom we have contempt and pity. 

BTW it is your type that ends up executed unfairly because you are too stupid to be able to defend yourself properly.

You get the other extreme. At the moment australia is being run by a pack of pussies who don't have the spine to mark hard decisions. People are running around laughing at our laws.



who?  Ive not heard any international mocking at all. Given that we are the most desirable location on the planet that sounds like... made-up fantasy.

They are laughing at our laws in SW Sydney. They are burning each others factories down and shooting one another. It's you that lives in the fantasy world.


the gang wars, mass murder and infernos didnt make the media. Is thatr a conspiracy of silence or is it more likely that what you are saying is just BS?

Most of the truth isn't being reported by the media. People come in from other parts of the world where the law is a bullet and they soon realise that this place is too soft. To get a jail term you almost have to murder somebody. Too many do-gooders running the judicial system.

Capital Punishment is a deterrent.


Stop the name calling and the obscenities and find me proof of that statement.


multiple researchers have concluded that the DP is at best no deterrent at all and in a disturbing number of states/countries has a correlation with a slight increase in violent crime.

Lets see someone defend this pedophiles right to live amongst humans.


It is a question of society's right to kill him. I believe we have no such right.

In the case referred to, a man aged 42 has been sentenced to 40 years. If he serves his full sentence he may never be released.

Every day of the rest of his life, he can think about what he did and why he is behind bars.

Isn't that a better punishment than putting him to death?


meanwhile every day for the next 80 yrs, this kid gets to re-live everything they did to him. Nope, I still think it would be better for all concerned if they killed the bloke ... at least then the kid would know there is one monster under his bed who is never coming back.


thats already true.  again., all you want - all you DP-supporters ever want - is DEATH and BLOOD.

you cant even make a conherent cogent argument for the DP beyond bloodlust


that's exactly right, in these cases, I want blood .... I'll leave the arguments for you. By the way, I notice you avoided answering my question . If after he, or any other pedo, has served his sentence & moves in next door to your grandkids would you object?


its moot because he isnt getting out.  And I dont have the problem of a guilty conscience of executing criminals who may not all be actually guilty.  Thats a problem you refuse to address.


ahh, I notice now you keep your answer limited to him, whereas before you were worried about the innocent ... Ok, would you have been happy if Dennis Ferguson or any other pedo , upon his release from prison (and before dying), moved in next door to your grandkids?

As for the guilty conscience bullsh1t, I doubt it would bother me too much. As long as my intentions are honest, I accept that I cannot control everything and understand that mistakes are made and I am prepared to live with that.


ah the irony!  YOU are prepared to 'live with it'. Pity the poor innocent bugger executed.  As predicted, this is all about YOU and your bloodlust and has zero to do with justice of any kind.


of course it's about justice .... but you asked me to address my supposed guilty conscience ... now you want me to tell you about the victims conscience?


wow... you really dont understand arguments very well do you?


or you don't maybe understand how to present a question properly?  ... you asked about my conscience and then complain that it is about me and not the victim ... you're not the sharpest tool in the shed are you? Not to worry, despite that, you still are a tool
