    TEHRAN -- Ameneh Bahrami once enjoyed photography and mountain vistas. Her work for a medical equipment company gave her financial independence. Several men had asked for her hand in marriage, but the hazel-eyed electrical technician had refused them all. "I wanted to get married, but only to the man I really loved," she said.

    Four years ago, a spurned suitor poured a bucket of sulfuric acid over her head, leaving her blind and disfigured.

    I think she is absolutely right, we should have the same law here.

    Murder Murderers

    Honestly I would agree with this. Our justice system is a joke.

    Murder should = Death.

    All other crimes should have long hard jail sentences + corporal punishment.

    So if I raped a super model then my punishment would be to have a super model rape me?

    I think I could handle that....

    Yeah you canbe raped by the Rock. He does modelling.

    Our justice system is a joke there was a story in the independent yesterday about a scumbag who defiled a child and only got one year. I'd have hanged him.

    Not really in this case. The government is carrying out the punishment. It's not like every random person is poking each others eyes' out willy nilly.

    For certain crimes I think it could work.

    We do have a thing called civilisation whereby we do not punish kind with kind and we do not live by acting on our gut reactions of revenge. Neither do we, for the greater part, base our justice system on some fantastical holy book.

    Christ, think about what you are saying, accidental crimes = lenghty prison sentence and corporal punishment? Pfft.

    Death to those who reoffend serious crimes, not first timers...

    If it's too right-wing for a George Bush regime to contemplate, it must SERIOUSLY be a bad idea.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    These threads are gas, it's always the same.

    "Some women in the back arse of who cares was raped/murdered/smacked in the head with a breville sandwich maker, by some bollix of a man"

    Typical reactionary reply-

    "These bast@rds should be murdered, cut their bollixes off and rape the hole off them first though that'll learn them, if i had 20 minutes alone with one of these b@stards....i tell ya...i tell ya... i'd bleedin bate the bollix outta them..rabble rabble rabble"

    Resoned response-

    "That's not the way to run a civilised society"

    More stupid sh1te-

    "Yeah but what if it was your sister or ma that got the smack of the breville/raped etc."

    Reasoned poster takes the bate-

    "ah well if it was me ma or sister I'D BATE THE BLEEDIN BOLLIX OUTTA THEM"

    The point is, if it was your ma or your sister you'd bate the bollix outta him, therefore we're all d1ckheads at the end of the day.

    How the hell did you get nominated for n00b of the year?

    Where's AC with the ban stick?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Yes. I believe rape should be punishable by rape. The state should employ some convicted rapists to carry out this form of justice.

    People actually agree with the above... :confused:
