Paul1405,
Hide, morons first !

I thought that Indy, I would be on your long list of "undesirables". In your ideal police state, where the police decide a persons guilt, there's no innocence, you and your blunt axe will be kept very busy. Hay, good idea for that Seniors National Service, exercutioner, How many do you think will be needed to get the job done, 10,000.

I'm sorry, individual, but I cannot agree that people who would execute other people could be "decent". There is nothing decent about killing anyone, with the exception of self defence. I accept that the families and friends of a murder victim might very well want the same for the person who killed their loved one. I cannot say that I wouldn't feel the same way. But I wouldn't, because, a) I am not a killer, b) I would also be charged with murder and c) I would not expect society to take revenge for something that does not affect them, and d) I would cease to be a civilised person; I would be no better than the killer.

All this blood lust is pretty horrific when compared with actual forgiveness often displayed by families of victims.

Well said ttbn.

As Buddha said, Forgiveness is the hardest thing in life.

ttbn,
You've got to be cruel to be kind-that old adage is now more relevant than ever.
Paul1405 you've not forgiven the Europeans for doing what you've done yourself by settling here.

Murder affects everyone, the murderer has removed a consumer who contributes to the general good, or a taxpayer or potential taxpayer, the loss of whom affects society in general.
