The alchemist stated - "Pariah, anyone stupid enough to allow others access to their luggage whilst travelling is looking for trouble."

They deserve to die?

Nature is injurious to life as it is without us adding to our misery. There are enough natural disasters, dreadful illness' and micro-organisms ready to attack and finish us off without us doing their job.

In an ideal world all the butchery will be non-existent and unnecessary (Bali bombing victims killed, and the hanging of the perpertrators). Is this a necessary evil to hang people, who we think have done wrong? We will never be able to decide in time for Nguyen. But consider the US as the biggest first world country (who should set the example and which is Australia's biggest ally) whose Supreme Court allows it.....are the Justices stupid people (less clever/moral than the Aussie judges)or people caught up in a bind over what constitutes morality? How about the 57% Aussies who do not agree with aspects of the hue and cry over the Hanging? Are half the Aussies idiots, and which half? Are they blind or is the issue one whose solution is grey in nature, contextual, even cultural..all too confusing. Let's not get too carried away with polemics and emotions of either side, and be ready to accuse each other of insensitivity. We are human and we fail in our judgements, yes even when human lives are concerned. But let us try to be civil about our language with others and respect others' points of view. What makes us so sure we are correct? Is it a good deterrent to hang people? How do we gather the statistics? People who say either way that it does/does not deter, cannot conduct controlled experiments. How can we impose our values on others? Should we try? Isn't this what causes wars?

The countries which support the death penalty range from dictatorships to democracies INEB. This democracy and many others would still have the death penalty if their people were given the choice by their limp wrested politicians. Just like immigration and multiculturalism, the eradication of the death penalty in this country was not the result of public support, but a decision imposed upon the electorate by a ruling class increasingly out of touch with their own people.

I had to laugh at your imputation that Australia might end up like lawless and dysfunctional societies that exist overseas if we reintroduce the death penalty. Guess what, dummy? That is exactly the way that we are heading already. Multicultural societies are dysfunctional societies with high crime rates.

As the proportion of crime prone and welfare dependent people from violent cultures increases in this country, violent criminal behaviour will rise in direct proportion to population increases of these crime prone groups. The result will be a polarized society consisting of monocultural ethnic ghettoes where people from other cultures will fear to tread. It will only take some spectacular act of terrorism resulting in significant loss of life for the population to demand from their sniveling politicians the reintroduction of the death penalty.

In the US, 48 of 50 US states had abolished the death penalty by 1970. Most of those states have now reintroduced it because of demands from the public. It is only a matter of time before our crime prone minorities will be as out of control as the hispanics and negroes of America.

The Lebanese, Pacific Islanders, Romanians, Muslims, Turks and Vietnamese are already doing a great job in those respects.

Bye bye Nguyen. See you in Hell. One less Vietnamese enemy murdering Australians.

May god rest his soul.

And may god forgive redneck.

Amen to that. Any death is a loss...a tragedy. We all lose. Somehow, we all lose.
