Is the sheer size of China, rather than it's isolationist history, that makes China a superpower. On a side note, what would you class China as in terms of politics?

It's 100 if you don't go to hospitals and test the coma patients, I think. And stop harrassing the newborn ward, while your at it.

Ah. I was rather more interested in the two new forum members who appear to have the same logic, join times and spelling mistakes. I'm not that pedantic about spelling

Oh. Crap.

How come nether of you can spell 'Brother'?

Why don't you ask me, rather than asking a proxy who's interpriting what I may mean?

Yes, the last one died off in 1976 after catching a bout of smallpox in West Sussex. His name was Gregory, and never had enough money to buy a surname.

You are the man who shouts at the cauliflowers in Liversledge ASDA.

Well, also for espionage, drug trafficking, involvement in murders, involvement in planned murders, offering services as an assassin, kidnapping during a bank robberty and manslaughter (property/transport destruction resulting in death). I think you could include terrorisum, but there is no actual trial in court before execution. Interesting, the story you linked to was the same issue that Amnesty reported, a 16 year old girl in Neka. The point to note here is that the Amnesty website does not mention rape as the charge and names the girl as Ateqeh Rajabi. http://www.amnestyusa.org/abolish/juveniles/countries.html Your link seems to name the girl Ateqeh Sahaleh (note the incorrect surname) strongly implyes rape was the offence she was hung for. In actual fact, the same website goes on to admit the offence was multiple prostitution and drug related charges. I don't think that a website that's sole purpose is to tell the world Iran is evil is the best news source. Especially as they can't get facts in order, or even get the name of the victim correct. It all smells of dogma and propoganda. I haven't really looked at the child offenders, as I'd find it hard to differenciate a crime that a 17 year old committed from one an 18 year old did. However, as I said, the girl was on trial for multiple prostitution and drug related charges. The drug charges could well have resulted in the death penalty in the US. Still, it's a harsh decision, and one I don't defend.

What is a bare faced lie, anyway? Are there lies that are better when told from behind a mask?

What I find disturbing about this sort of thread is the bizarre fantasies that crop up. There is something unhinged about a person who dreams up situations where they would be able to kill another human.

Don't listen to him, he says that about everybody.

Ah, that's better. Interesting that the US does not have acquittals in the legal system, I wonder why?

That link is a list of acquittals, not an indicator of crimes commited.

Just a few quick points. I am not aware of this. amnesty has no record of this occuring. Where did you hear this, have you a source? I did find a report on the use of the death penalty against child offenders, which puts USA at the top of the list:- http://www.amnestyusa.org/abolish/juveniles/countries.html http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGACT500012004 This is apocryphal. It does not happen. It's Anti religious dogma. the current concerns in Iran are listed here: - http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGMDE130032003?open&of=ENG-IRN

It's not true. However there is evidence that stoneage man used charcoal fires. The charcoal fires were discovered because the fire left traces of molten metals, due to the extra heat, in the debris surrounding the fire. The molten metal was the clue as to the heat of the fire, which could only have got to a temperature high enough to melt the ore using charcoal. Unfortunately people seem to assume the molten metal was evidence of some form of furnace, which is not the case. It's possible Neanderthals used charcoal, but it's not very interesting compared to the furnace fallacy.

Then you are psychotic, I suggest you seek medical help.

They are evolving, thanks for asking. The Catholic Church, which is the foundation and cornerstone of the modern Christian faith, decreed the Theories of Evolution to be fact. In order to believe the cannon that the Old and New Testament represent, you must take the words of the Pope to be the truth. The only sect that believes in the literal translation of the Bible is based in America, and has no concept of what the Bible is, where it came from or how to read it.

But that's simply saying that the state can do as it wishes, and side steps the moral obligation and surrounding issues by placing the decision on the Govenment. Besides which, the United States of America only administers the death penalty in a number of states, showing a clear discrepancy in the governments value for rights given to it's citizens. The comment 'The state, which defines the freedom to live as the law of God and nature, shows its citizens that there is nothing as sacred as human life by implementing capital punishment' make no sense. There is no balance between respecting life on one hand above all other things, and completly disregarding life on the other. It also doesn't remotely tally with the 'Law of God' which expressly forbids the taking of another persons life.

I got to level 26 before I decided I was lying.

Europe is fictional, like Atlantis and Finland. What matters is the Americans view on America, not this pinko talk about the rights of an individual .

I was not. That was my point really, the definition always seems to be them and us. Criminals are labeled and processed, rather than being looked at as individuals.

I doubt that. I doubt many people are able to kill another human being.

Hmmmm. Quite.
