I say yes with a death row system like some states in the us

Are you sure this hasn't been posted before?

I am in favour of the death penalty, for certain types of crime. There are a lot of reasoned arguments against it, but on balance I believe these can be overcome. IMO this crime would seem to be worthy of it, but I would reserve judgement on that until the full facts are known. But I do feel for example that Ian Huntlet should have been hanged.

Anyway, that's all OT.

You also miss the obvious point here: perhaps other people want to discuss the issue, regardless of whether it bores you or others. Or is that irrelevant?

You mis the point, repeatedly, that all this has been said before. You have yet to demonstrate there is something new to add. Now, were you to take up the previously issued challenge we might have a thread.

And as I said before, I only entered the fray because my name was brought up. I responded with what, frankly, and even if I say so myself, was ythe most interesting point yet aired. Arrogant? Yes. True? Possibly.

Andy, I enter these boards to discuss, learn, share opinions, and do many other things; however, I am not here to respond to any challenge that you deem to issue from your pedestal.

Now, what's new for me is to hear opinions of others; like them or loathe them, it's all interesting to me.

By the way, you don't have the final say on whether "we have a thread".
