It's done, Saddam has swung!

[ionicle]

you really cant win in this world, no-matter what anyone does, at any time, there is atleast 1 person out there, who will think it is wrong...you've just got to try and please the majority

saying that the whole gene-pool should be shot/harmed/locked up/what ever is a bit silly, we have to be careful that we do not fall into the same category as saddam himself. Just because saddam was a sick human being, doesnt mean the rest of his gene-pool are.

It's like saying each person who commits a crime by shooting someone, their whole family will have to be punished aswel. If this were the case, half of america could be locked up.

I`d say the world, there`s plenty of shootings in the uk for instance, but it doesn`t fit into the media`s idea of news.

 

[nathan]

it was just an example, there are more shootings in the US, but thats because of a bigger population etc. i think nottingham makes up for in the UK though

 

[llwyd]

This whole thing is one of those things that i don't have any strong feelings about either way. The argument for both ridding the world of him full stop and keeping him locked away are both completely justifiable, although i do find it a little odd that he would be rid off in such a way in a predominately Christian country who preach forgiveness (not that he should be). If the USA think it best that he be killed, so be it, why should anyone bat an eyelid? the man (and i mean that totally in reference to his gender) means nothing good to anyone

"people like Saddam are not meant to live, we need to continue cleansing the gene pool and ridding the world of people like Saddam. OBL is next."

cleansing the gene pool..thats certainly a very discompassionate way of putting it. I don't personally think he should of died. He should of been kept alone, with no human contact for the rest of his life. It'd be more morally responsible and also...fitting, if he was kept in a constant state where death would be a pleasant reprieve.

Yes, it was intended to be very discompassionate Why show compassion for the scum of the earth? :ar: Terrorists

 

[terror96]

Ohhh yeah, Saddamn just met his maker. Approx. 10 mins ago that bastid was swingin from the gallows for his war crimes.

Me = happy. America wins

Death doesn't quite justify death. I just don't see it as being "right"

 

[mVp24]

Honestly I think this should be locked everyone has different opinions and this topic is regarding the death penalty, politics, and America vs Iraq. Those are some of the most debated and controversial topics in the world at the moment. Fights are gonna break out, all will will come lose.

Let the flaming begin.

QUOTE from Rastalovich;

Ok, religion, looking at it from an outsider`s pov, is inherently designed to keep the masses in order, and help a figure-head, or a group of figure-heads, in luxury.

Thats so cool. I have believed that for quite a few years..

Its funny how opinions vary with age..Being the oldest here (even though I may act like I am 12 sometimes)

When you give freedom like here in US I have come to realize the world can be both a GREAT and LOUSEY place at the same time. With freedom comes the ability to advance yourself as far as you want to go and at the same time it gives you the freedom to be as bad as you want too.

I have watched other forums threads go up in flames for less important topics than this, Thats one of the reasons OC3D is a GREAT forum:worship: . Its great to have an opinion just as long as you realize everyone else gets one too..

And to SPIRITD, the US will always be ok, once ur free no one will ever be able to take that away from us. Thay may attack us but it will only make us stronger..

 

[FarFarAway]

Well there's not been anything malicious so far - people are entitled to their own opinions.

While I aplore the disgraceful and inhumane acts that Saddam did I don't know how much "good" will come of his death, despite protestations to the contrary. As has been said what do we gain killing one man who has been stripped of his power and dignity?

If it starts getting too far it will closed don't worry

Yea that's exactly what I think.

 

[Toxcity]

I don't understand why they hung him...

Its a bit out of order! I agree he needed to die but not hung, its abit old fashioned and painful. He should of been drugged..

 

[markkleb]

Im sure because it was the Iraqi way. And they wanted to make it look like the US had as little to do with it as possible.

 

[Toxcity]

Its all to make the US look good.

They didn't really think that he is actually a real human being. He has rights and I believe even though he had done bad he sould of had a proper send off.

Not anything fancy but a quiet painless way.

 

[markkleb]

I dont think the US is "looking good" mattered as much as trying to give freedom a foothold over there. I think the thought is if freedom gets a foothold it will spread to the rest of the middle east.

 

[mVp24]

No way that this is going to really make the US look good, especially to the terrorists.

 

[Nagaru]

He was hung because that is the form of capital punishment in Iraq. Also it is not inhumane because there is slack in the rope which causes the neck to snap and therefore no pain.

 

[Hyper]

It wouldnt surprize me if they let him go as what video evidence have we got of him actually being hung



/crawl into my corner and prepare to get flamed

:flames:

Dude if that happened, it'd be like one of those movies where the villain comes back and he's all buff with a scarred face. OMG! Nightmares!
