I love the posters. Iran is such a horrible country full of murders or those who want to kill other, but when they execute 29 people, that are the worst of the worst the same conservatives that blast Iran are blasting them for being so cruel.

Those same conservatives would be supportive of the death penalty, in a different forum.

Make up your minds.

I'm not particularly fond of the death penalty, but when China executes 100s we don't see much, if anything. But when Iran executes, they are bad guys.

Does Iran do anything right? < :-)

"Does Iran do anything right? < :-)"

I think most people here would ask if you believe Iran can do anything wrong.

I was wondering when we were going to get some good news out of Iran.

Iranian rights activists said earlier this month that authorities have sentenced eight women and one man convicted of adultery to death by stoning.

Where are all the JT "human rights activists" to criticize this abhorrent death penalty sentence? Oh yeah, like adaydream, they never criticize and always support the enemies of America.

So what do you think about the death penalty and the deaths of these 29. You've already spoken for me. What do you say? Do you agree? Are you supportive of these executions? < :-)

Are you supportive of these executions?

Personally, I can't get too worked up about the execution of murderers, rapists, armed robbers, and drug traffickers. I do, however, find the stoning to death of adulterers to be a human rights violation. Now adaydream, only with regards to Iran and without mentioning the US which I realize is near impossible for you, what is your opinion of these executions and stonings by the Iranian government? Again, no mention of any country other than Iran.

I've mentioned on many occasion my personal objection to capital punishment. I was supportive of it when I was younger, but there were too many deaths performed, and too much reasonable doubt or just plain facts that either he didn't do it. In a lot of cases it was a frame up job, either by the real perpetrator or the authorities.

I am much more of keeping him in prison the rest of his/her life. Also a lot cheaper than all the new trials. And if he didn't do it and you do find the right bad guy, the original convicted man can be set free.

Hell, Iran is as much capable of framing an innocent man as the United States is, if you want me to be Mr. HumanRightAdvocate. < :-)

So no, I'm not supportive of it. < :-)

I can't get too worked up about the execution of murderers, rapists, armed robbers, and drug traffickers. " I'll get worked up for putting some to death for being gay, which they did. I will get worked up with Death by Stoning and I am not so sure I will get worked up over drug traffickers, for me it depends on if they were the big guys, if they are just some club hoppers selling MDA, which I am told Iran has a lot of, then I will get worked up.

I didn't think they would have armed robbers in Iran. Gutsy.

I am much more of keeping him in prison the rest of his/her life." You know I hear this a lot from people a lot. What is harsher - life or death?

I knew you couldn't do it. < :-)

According to the article, “smuggled thousands of kilograms of various kinds of narcotics” into and out of Iran.

Shall I tell you whether I agree with Britain's sentencing? How about Iraq, maybe China?

No matter what answer I give you Helter_Skelter, you'd find fault in it.

You want me to mention other countries beside the US and Iran? Be my guest and visit this site. Ypu can get all the information I got for you.

Have a good day. This isn't worth argueing.

Now is the right time for your sleezy comback. < :-)

My last statement was impolite. Sorry. < :-)

Helter:

smuggled thousands of kilograms of various kinds of narcotics" thousands - that's chicken feed these days. Nope, they were not at the top of the chain.

Those so against? Why are you against some that interfere with other countries and here you advocate being against them when it lines up with your ideals. Forcing your way down their throats. I don't care who they want to convict as long as it's not me. The citizens of their country can protest their own death penalties if they are so inclined. They don't need some meddlin white guy (probably from Britian as it's usually that way) to tell them how to think and do.
