Re: At Last Something Like A Proper Sentence.
It is very hard to demonstrate that killing is wrong by killing the killer.....now i've written it I am not sure that it makes sense.....someone tell me they know what I mean...please!

Re: At Last Something Like A Proper Sentence.
margeret you have said it perfectly correctly. killing is wrong. killing as a punishment is wrong. having the ability to sit in an office and make up a law saying its OK to ahve the death penalty doesn't make it right.

And KIPAX it doesn't necessarily make it right to just add a new law but then I dont agree with the terrorist laws either as i think the problem is that 'terrorist' isnt defined properly in the statute so anyone can be labelled as one and their rights taken away. Also with the recent terrorists being NHS doctors (alledgedly at least) it makes you wonder exact what their motives were. Perhaps the argument in that book that it creates martyrs is true, I mean, I dont condone the methods they used to get the attention of the media but what if the cause they did it for was a good one? Other protesters do violent things, for example PETA attack animal testing labs and those involved quite often, are they now terrorists aswell? Protesting and terrorism is beginning to have dangerous overlaps and it restricts alot of the freedoms we think we have. I wouldn't dare join a protest now for fear of being arrested due to being involved in something that may happen to be catagorised as terrorism without realising it. |

PETA may claim to have the highest of motives but their methods of protest make them worse than the people the allegedly deplore. Yes, I would class that alongside terrorism.

Cant split up partners do these sort of things to eachother aswell when theyre holding a grudge (just an example) It is the same type of situation, protesting about animals or protesting about ending the relationship, trashing either types of property and causing 'terror'. It seems all too easy for the term to get too broad and the act to be used to widely against people. |
