at least with an injection, the first part is to paralyze you so you dont feel the poison.
in having said that – there are innocent on death row – and this should be stopped, however Crucifixion is slow and painful.I would rather injection then crucifixion.
As for Cameron shaming the UK – in what way do you feel he shamed the UK??
How do you think the world views a Prime Minister who inserts his pen.is, drunkenly, in a dead pigs mouth?

Crucifixion????
What exactly is the moral difference between injecting or electrocuting someone while they are tied down, with a leather strap in their mouth so they don’t bite their own tongue off and crucifying them, personally I find both disgusting and the levels of violence used are no different. Some would argue they are, fine, personally I find both barbaric in equal measures.
I am more concerned that we have a Prime Minister who is so utterly disgusting he has shamed the entire UK, what do you think the world thinks of that one?

So people shouldn’t hate the use of children as terrorists? Humour, is often used even if some don’t find it funny and this thread didn’t use anti refugee “humour” or try to deflect from the tragedy of drowned children, though again this child was in turkey with rent being paid by an aunt in Canada if the aunt is to be believed. As for anti Muslim views a man convicted when he was 17 is due to be executed in Saudi Arabia by crucifixion ffs and you wonder about anti Muslim sentiment
Children get tried as adults in the USA all the time… Children convicted and given adult sentences have been sent to and killed in Death Row. To keep on going on about Muslims like they are somehow non human sums up the anti-muslim agenda.
I am curious, am I the only person who thinks that when someone says “I am not racist but…” that yep they are racist.
:wink:

What gets me is the callous, inhumane attitude towards a genuine plight, caused to a large extent by our own governments in their policy of plunder and war. We can bomb the hell out of them, totally disrupt their countries with a knock-on effect throughout the region, and then talk about the people who flee in terms of swarms of insects.
I have seen people in JC try to whip up the fears that people have,and even talk carelessly of a mass gassing of people in the Channel Tunnel. The UK government provides the most minimal support to deal with the human traffickers who transport refugees across the Mediterranean.
The photographs in the post which opened this thread were posted to show that these are people, who have left their homes because it’s become impossible to live there. Whether refugees from war or economic migrants, they are people, and human traffickers are taking full advantage of them to take their money and transport them in lethal conditions.
This doesn’t stop when they reach Europe, and in Britain the conditions of near-servitude in places like the Lincolnshire agricultural districts are starting to come to light, where criminal gangmasters (not the legal gangmasters) are exploiting migrants sexually and economically. People are trying to wake the local police forces up to how widespread these practices are, according to my paper.
A humane, not a callous, approach is what’s called for, and it can only work through international (especially EU) action. Otherwise we’re no better than the traffickers.
Totally agree with everything you say on this issue, the EU won’t sort it though, they never do. Cameron claimed in 2010 he would reduce EU economic immigration into the tens of thousands, it is currently at record levels, at a time when funding in the public sector is being slashed horrendously, I understand why people are suspicious of immigration but immigrants are not to blame for the ideology of this government and the previous ‘new labour’ one. The system is creaking because of tory and new labour ideology not because of immigration. ie they do not invest in public services and housing.
People also need to recognize that there is a difference between economic migration and refugees/asylum seekers and no the UK is NOT doing its bit on that front.
What a crap society we have become when we appear to be quite happy exploiting low paid economic migrants and turn our backs on people fleeing war and persecution.
Nice pic. Look like bouncers or MMA fighters, remind me not to mess with you. :lol: Guy on right has some nice ink on his arm from what I can tell by pic!
Hanging pictures with a spirit level and then using blue tack just inside bottom corner to hold it there.
Sat Box and DVD player, one cd precisely from edge of TV stand, not when partner is in room though, drives them potty.
Rugs have to be perfectly square to room.
Immediately picking up a cushion if dogs knock one off.
Water temperature set to perfect bath temperature so I don’t have to faff about with hot or cold water.
:lol:
These boards make me smile every day, but particularly today. Moon makes a micky taking post and is jumped on immediately by those waiting patiently for any opportunity to to squeal in mock outrage. That mock outrage, followed up by numerous posts then expressing that mock outrage, always makes me smile. Look at me Look at me!

Good heavens, really? Attacking someone because they dared to share a sadness? Now that IS low.
Hugs to you Moon, we all miss people who have passed from time to time and if we can’t show compassion to another when they share that sadness then it’s a sad world indeed. Yesterday I found an email in my spam folder from a friend who died just a few months ago (my friends are my family). Her yahoo account must still be active and been hijacked but it was a bit of a jolt, set me to thinking of the friends I have lost over the years.
Keep her alive in your memory and your heart and she will always be with you xx
Does being that sanctimonious come naturally or did you have to try hard?
Does being a room lurker, lurking anonymously in order to target individuals in the room on these boards, come naturally or do you have to try hard?
Have a great day all and you Blossom :lol: I’ll be in room later to wind you up darling. I’m off for a shave now, steamy mirror and asking myself who am I, who is the real me and WHY wasn’t I told my sister lives in Kent and has an OBE.
Take care.
Amen.
