I can understand why Singapore imposes the DP on traffickers of heroin or other devastating drugs. I don't like it, I think it's wrong but I see their point. What I don't get is that the DP is always mandatory if a certain amount is reached and that you can also be hanged for smuggling cannabis. Especially the latter is draconic. I wouldn't legalize cannabis for all the reasons which were discussed lately but it's still a rather harmless drug which many of us have probably tried. A cannabis dealer doesn't exploit his customer's misery, a heroin dealer does that though. The imposition of the death penalty in Singapore has nothing to do with saving human lives. Drug traffickers who are hanged by the authorities in that island nation are hanged not so much because they trafficked in drugs but because they broke the law and thus defied the authority of the state in doing so. After all, if the political organism that runs Singapore were truly concerned with saving lives it would ban the sale of tobacco products.

I'm all for it. Death for Drug Traffickers Under US Law. Assuming, of course, that your intent is to save human lives; would such death penalty law for drug traffickers also apply to those folks in the tobacco industry as well?

If we are going to kill in the name of drugs , we may as well kill the stupid people. It's better for humanity as a whole. Is your first name "Adolf" by any chance?

Actually, since I am older than you by a few years you aren't in a position to claim paternity. Don’t go by the birth date in my profile; when I first joined this website in 2006 I thought it best, for reasons of security, not to give my actual date of birth. Given the time frame of my last visit to Asia I believe that you probably were still in middle school. Given the time frame of my first visit to South East Asia you were alive but had not yet been born. So tell me, after visiting some of these countries, quite safe countries in my opinion, why do you feel that they are so "barbaric"? stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/347/singapore.shtml

PS, have you ever been to an Asian country such as Singapore, Japan, Malaysia? Son, I was hitchhiking all over this planet and around South East Asia probably before you were born. I have been to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Japan, and over 50 other countries. However, to narrow it down; I have hitchhiked the stretch of the Thai-Malay Peninsula between Bangkok and Singapore three times. I also hitchhiked from Europe all the way to India but was not allowed to hitchhike through Burma. (Now Myanmar) The newspaper clipping is from Sweden and the other photo of me was taken in the front yard of the Sikh temple in Singapore where I stayed while in that country.

You say that the EU puts greater importance on human life, which group would that be exactly? The guilty or the innocent? Both, because in Europe the guilty could never be hanged for being in possession of a kilo of marijuana, whereas, in Singapore you would.

Singapore is not as bad as the European Union Your contention is ludicrous and intellectually dishonest! The European Union places far greater value on human life than do you Singaporeans. In fact, your leaders are not fit to walk with civilized men for no civilized nation on earth would have a mandatory death penalty and a judicial system where the accused is presumed guilty until proven innocent.

In Canada, self-defense laws are more strict then US. Aside from the fact that our guns have to be locked up, and not loaded inside the home and kept in the basement, if a person enters your home, and they are armed with a bat, but you use a gun (let's just say in this situation you were in your basement and you heard them break in), you would be charged with 2nd degree murder. The only way it would classify as self-defense is if you also had a bat, but then again you simply can't just ask the intruder "Hey, what weapon do you have?" Self-defense is equal force. You even have to disclose if you are a trained martial artist before you kick an intruders butt, otherwise they can get you in civil. I think you Canadians need to ask yourselves whose side your so-called leaders are on. Then you need to ask yourselves what you’re going to do about it.

I'd kill them. I wouldn't want the state to do it for me, nor would I expect to be executed by it as a consequence. It always amazes me that ProDp types often claim to be pro-small Government when they support the most profound statist intervention of all. I’m always amazed at the hypocrisy of the Anti Death Penalty types who would become all too willing executioners of the murderers of their loved ones.

There is something terribly twisted and sadistic about a society that keeps a condemned criminal on Death Row for 25 years then takes him out and kills him.

I think I was actually in that prison back in 1977 visiting a fellow American who was incarcerated there. It was clean at that time and the prisoners appeared to be very well-cared for; but, then, that's when white Rhodesians were still running the show in what is now called Zimbabwe.

As you may or may not know, the police arrested someone in relation to the attempted Time Square bombing. I say we execute the POS even though no one was hurt. What say you? I say you’re getting way ahead of yourself; the man hasn’t even had a trial yet.

The DP will always be around in Texas. If the SCOUTS or feds tried to outlaw the DP, Texas might attempt to succeed from the union, possibly taking other states with it. There is already a strong secession movement in Texas, and forcing them to eliminate the DP could lead to civil war. Seriously, have you ever thought about getting professional help?

If you really and truly believe the death penalty is going to be around in the U.S.A. fifty years from now then you're living in a dreamworld.

Bottom-line, the death penalty is going to come to an end in the U.S.A.

But it's their country, and their laws. If the people don't like it, it's up to them to change things. Too bad the C.I.A. didn’t share your philosophy back in 1953 when they overthrew a democratically elected government in Iran and replaced it with a brutal dictatorship that terrorized the Iranian people for years only to be overthrown and replaced by another even more brutal regime.

I found the video of one student who was hanged for his protest quite impressing: he smiled all the time until the very end and told the people that this wouldn't change anything. Parts of it were shown on the news. What a brave guy. I believe he is the first individual seen in this video.
