Guest T-Bone Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 What about thier conservative trigger happy gun-lovers? BTW: Great job of missing the pun.

[/quote] You have a lot to learn, grasshopper. Conservatives only fire into the air as an initial warning shot. The next one is for real. I think you need some of us to take you under our wings (in a big brother type of way) and get you out to the range.
Winchester Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 [quote name='catholicinsd' post='1104572' date='Oct 29 2006, 09:41 PM'] Winchester, what made you so trigger-happy? [/quote] I've yet to defend firing a gun under any circumstances on this thread. Or to defend putting someone to death for such reckless stupidity. However, you have made a rash generalization about conservatives. Tsk, tsk... You're getting too emotional, I think. Define conservative.

homeschoolmom Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Okay, see... here's the thing. In this country, we have a lot of wiiiiiide open spaces (like major parts of South Dakota). And it's great. People can enjoy being outdoors and (within proper zoning areas) fire guns into the air-- or even into the body of wild animals! Singapore is densely populated. They don't have the luxury of being able to shoot a gun into the air for jollies without the bullet landing on someone. See, so it sort of makes sense that shooting a gun into the air of a densely populated society should carry a heavy penelty, since someone probably ends up dead in this case.

[/quote] Yes, but is death, for an other-wise good person, really the best sentece for this crime?
Lil Red Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 if they are a good person, why are they shooting a gun into the air, knowing that they could kill someone?

homeschoolmom Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Catholicinsd... can you site an instance where an unwitting Singaporese party-goer or merry-maker shot a gun into the air and was sentenced to death and exicuted? Just because it's on the record books as a law isn't "an instance."
Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 [quote name='catholicinsd' post='1104463' date='Oct 29 2006, 11:49 PM'] Well, The CCC says the DP can only be used in extreme cases. Drug Tragficers in Singapore do not consitute an extreme case as defined by the CCC and The Gospel of Life. [/quote] Drug trafficking usually involves gang violence and people getting murdered. That said, I'm against the death penalty.

From the Flood, to the deletion of Pluto as a planet. Bush is in control of it all. And it's all his fault.
