Holy CRAP

[Cosmos]

Aren't they giving ppl a curfew now? I haven't been watching the news as much as I should lately. ;.;

I'm with Osmose on this. At least, I think I am... It looks like he's for death, but unsure about a hanging. If that's what he's saying, I'm in agreement. With him.

barring something like beating him to death with his own dismembered arm?

That WOULD be amazingly awesome.

Wow, seems a little crazy, but the punishment should fit the crime. I mean, he's decapitated and raped tonnes of people. Hanging might be a little tame.

I think I see what you're saying. He should be raped by tonnes of people, and then decapitated.

30 days or exectution is free, right?

Well, as far as this goes, it will be my 2nd favourite hanging of the year!

[Osmose]

Quoted from http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/world/4311954.html

The death sentences automatically go to a nine-judge appeals panel, which has unlimited time to review the case. If the verdicts and sentences are upheld, the executions must be carried out within 30 days.

A court official told The Associated Press that the appeals process was likely to take three to four weeks once the formal paperwork was submitted. If the verdicts are upheld, those sentenced to death would be hanged despite Saddam's second, ongoing trial for allegedly murdering thousands of Iraq's Kurdish minority.

Archem: I'm not unsure about hanging him, I'm saying that if you think he should be killed, worrying about how is kinda useless, as they all end in his death, and hanging isn't quite as painful and humiliating as, say, the aforementioned arm-beating, or dropping him into a pit of spikes and leaving him there to suffer.

Its about f***ing time. Just lynch the sucker and let him swing.

lol, i think he should be taken to a jungle and dropped into a bamboo shoot trap, i think that is what it is called.
Where poles of bamboo with sharpened tips are put at the bottom of the pit. That way his legs are mutilated and then they can beat him with his own dismembered arm, then throw him in rikers prison and then finally hang him... Thats how i would do it  >:

[X_marks_the_ed]

I say we should have put him in the same room as Richard Simmons. He'd be peading for mercy.

[Kinslayer]

They should make the guy listen to Britney Spear's discography. Much worse than any execution.

I can't help myself to think that the judges were totally partial in the trial. And killing is just playing God. I believe that Saddam should be locked forever, and put to some real hard *** work. I am against the war at Iraq and the US's external policies and etc, but truly, Saddam's a bloody son of a big bitch. He has to be punished. But killing him? How does that make the ones who judge him better? Just lock him forever in the deepest hole on Earth and done.

Well, if you keep him alive, thats money that your GIVING to him for his food, water, etc. Are you telling me that you would want the people of Iraq/US to pay to keep Saddam alive? As for 'it's playing God, bible says blah, blah" just remember, the commandment "Do unto others".

[Anubis_Soldier]

He is being tried by the Iraqis right? That means they can truly do nearly anything they want with him... Even if he is tried by the US the Bill of Rights only covers US Citizens... Which means the 8th amendment can't protect his sorry ***

[plightofthepureblood]

that same bible also says to turn the other cheek. DOnt even quote the bible. For everything you find, there is another quote in it somewhere that can be used to contradict.

I have a hard time believing any book that tells me "God sends all the Gays, and kids who have premarital sex to hell if they dont grovel for forgivness."



I dont think its playing god. God dosent kill people, people and their enviroments do.


I knew they would kill him as soon as they caught him. I would have put money on it, in fact.


Its just......Hanging...its soo......archaic.

And the entire UN is like, "WHOOOOOOT WHOOOOOOT! LETS HANG US A DARKIE". "VICTORY! MILESTONE! HISTORY!"

I dont think there is a need to hang anyone.

I dont know if youre all aware of what is entailed in a hanging. Its no way to die.

Its symbolic......not in a good way either. Im baffled that they would hang somebody in a situation like this, as opposed to gunshot or injection or the chair. Theyre going to make a public spectacle out of this.

And thats pretty disgusting. That makes the "good guys" no more "Good" than the criminal.

I haven't said that we have to support him, make the guy WORK. I haven't spoken about the Bible, and I remember a commandment that says "You shall not kill". If to you life is meaningless and you have the right to kill, that's ok, but to me not.

Put him in some third world's country. He'll sweat like a pig and eat like a bug. He'll probably die of Tyfus too.

"Do unto others" wasnt a commandment either dude.

It was in the scripture, but Definatly not a comandment

[Cosmos]

Omg, you guys fail to understand that it costs MILLIONS just to keep ONE person on deathrow for ONE year. Whereas it costs only about 50,000 just to keep one person in jail.

Hm, was it? I haven't been to church in so long... Meh, it's not, but it should have been. Makes so much more sense than "Do not covet". "I'm hungry, I want your excess food" *KA-SIN!*
