adios 717 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 If you commit a serious crime here in the local community where I am at the moment then you would be burnt alive. Not long ago a kiddy fiddle was found out tossed in a pit in the town centre and burnt to death. Not alot of crime with the local community at all. Must say I dont agree with it, but it is their way of life. 13176[/snapback] Not surprised by that! Where do you live, Summerisle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Not sure about birching but I think prison should be made a lot tougher. TVs, pool tables, weight rooms? They're supposed to be being punished, not in a hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) Advice for people travelling to Saudi Arabia: Possession of alcohol and preaching religions other than Islam may result in imprisonment and corporal punishment. The importation and use of alcohol, pork products, pornography, religious books and materials (other than those relating to Islam) is forbidden. Conviction for some criminal offences may result in fines, imprisonment, corporal punishment, deportation or the death penalty. Penalties for importing, possessing or using drugs are severe and include the death penalty. I dunno what's worse, having little chaver gits doing what they want, or not being able to have a pint, a bacon sarnie and a copy of Swank.

Smooth Operator 10 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 My views are simple: For rape - Cut their knobs off For theft: Cut their hands off For murder: Cut their heads off For kiddy fiddling: All of the above I'm off now to catch a flight to the middle east where these laws are practised.

The Fish 9022 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 surely it's the responsibility of the parents to discipline their children from day 1, they should have been taught to respect adults and figures of authority. Like Teachers, Policemen and even other members of their community. I don't condone corporal punishment in schools because it's too open to abuse, if you excuse the pun. I agree with Bootcamps, but not the belt. I'm an advocate of national service and I'm and stopic supporter of prevenetion rather than punishment. In my opinion, once it gets to the stage where you have to physically beat an adult, then it's too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 So the women who had their convictions quashed for killing their babies due to a dodgy prosecution 'expert', would we just sow their heads back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar 0 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'd imagine if you brought it back now you'd get lots of chavers walking around with their tops off to show off how many lashes they'd got and how hardcore they were. "Did it hurt?" "Nah!" Bearing in mind there was a trend amongst chavers at my school to walk around with a big scar and welt in the middle of your forehead where you'd got your mate to shoot you with an air rifle.

Rob W 0 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Saudi Arabia may well have a low "crime rate" - you'd be a brave man to wander into a Saudi Police station to report anything for a start plus of course the Stae employs torture on a regular basis plus the Religious Police can burst in on ANY gathering and beat those present (Christmas dinner for example) or a woman showing an inch too much leg Of course all those Saudis in Lebanon, Bahrein, Cairo, S of Spain, London getting pissed, gambling and mixing with women are all good law abiding folk at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 From Isegrims link:- Saudi Arabia "Flogging with a cane was often imposed for offenses against religion and public morality, such as drunkenness and gambling and the neglect of prayer requirements and fasting." going to be pretty quiet in the Bigg Market if it comes in then..............
