you are disingenuous when we discussed ...Benjamin,<br /><br />you are disingenuous when we discussed the issue I had to point out at length that dictators would probably reside in special prisons, receiving all the privileges of normal prisoners plus a few more, because of the scrutiny.<br /><br />now you could have acknowledged all of this and said yes, that is true but I have an absolute objection to capital punishment, instead you are shifty and obtuse about the bleeding obvious (how dictators would be looked after), which all in all is disingenuous and why I shall ignore your contributions, they are worthless, they are a posture, by all means demonstrate principles but don't argue about verifiable facts or reasoned conclusions, as if they're important to you, which they are not.ModernityBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354254639321208955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745706.post-6651750253492879112006-11-06T12:11:00.001+00:002006-11-06T12:11:00.001+00:00Oops!

I am against it for every crime under all circumstances, irrespective whether the criminal is responsible for one death or millions. <br /><br />Some folk, who are normally against the death penalty, seem to make an exception for people like Saddam. <br /><br />I fundamentally disagree with such exceptions.Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01823246393666389713noreply@blogger.com
