Locked in stocks in the centre of town, made the laughing stock of their peers whilst pelted with rotten fruit and eggs would soon bring it home.. Add a big sign saying shoplifter etc would also alert those shops who is who

Much that is written above reminds me of Sharia law and its punishments. Yet I would guess those proposing it would be the first to complain if we went down that Muslim route.

No … No… No, if Muslims want Sharia law they are free to leave this Country and move to one that embraces it, they are guests in this Country no matter how long they have been here and need to understand that the need to adhere to the laws of this Country. It was their choice to move to a Christian Country and culture, no one forced them here, and as such they need to obey the law of that Country, If the can’t then they need to leave, plain and simple. You try preaching Christian ways in Saudi….. You will get a shock, they don’t tolerate it, and neither should we.

The death penalty sounds to me like revenge rather than punishment.
I would like to see more realistic sentences. 300 years without parole.

Tell that to those on death row, it is more than revenge, the. Human being is very adaptable to their surroundings, they get on with it and it soon becomes the norm, prison life is just the same, after a couple of years you settle into a regime..

My view is if you have killed someone, their life has ended, they no longer have the opportunity to live on no matter the circumstances, and neither should the killer, I am abhorred that we have got to the circumstances we have today where the worst crime you can commit is priced at 15 years, murder does not simply effect one life it effects many. You can get more for robbing a bank, murder where it is cut and dry should carry the death sentence, if not the person should never see the world again from the outside of a cell.

My ideal prison for murderers is the one in Ben Hur when they go to release his mother and daughter and they ask when he last saw them to be told never ( 5 years in prison ) but they are still alive as the food dissapears…

“The Host” on Sky movies, a SciFi with a difference, very very good, ohh and she’s a hottie :p

White House Down, good film, got the Blue Ray, but on Sky Store too.

Though it did feel like several film scripts had been rolled into one and cobbled together to produce the script, part has a certain amount of The Rock in it, other parts seem to embrace large sections of the script from Die Hard too.
Maybe the American reporters missed it, as they gave it rave reviews, or maybe they were just to dumb to see it.

You’re lucky, the Nigerian bank account I set up to free Princess Acccocola’s frozen millions has yet to send me a statement, and I have been paying thousands into it religiously. :stupid:

Good on him. I hope the Scroats are still suffering.
