They are just genuine losers and are probably just dumb fukcs who got taken advantage of.When will people learn??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT290 Member 320 Member For: 19y 6m 8d Location: Brisbane Posted 01/12/05 11:14 AM Share Posted 01/12/05 11:14 AM hey all, I was born in singapore.. lived there for 12 yrs (been in AUS for 9 yrs now).. and I've know since 4.. that if u delt drugs in singapore it was all over for you.. u will either be killed by firing squad or hung.., simply as that... I have no sympathy for him what so ever .. he knew what he was getting himself into.... and for anyone that has been to singapore, it is sooo safe, for these simple reasons.. if u murder someone u will get killed.. u bring drugs in u will be killed.. hell if u damage property u spend a few months in jail and are whipped !, these laws are in place to tell people that u do somthing wrong u will get punished.

If you don't want fines, don't speed..You're kidding yourself if you think this will make any difference. There are plenty of "small fries around eager to put there neck on the line". That's what's brought this discussion about - 1 small fry eager to put his neck on the line. There have been plenty before him and will be plenty after him and the king pins will sit back counting their money whilst killing our kids.

So regardless of what the law is an any country around the globe, we should just sit back and accept what would appear to be a harsh sencence for a minor crime Finally I fail to see where the difference is between pre-meditated murder, and planned executions of this kind, whether they are performed on Australians or not.Anyway, I could carry on, but I am sure I have stirred the pot sufficiently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

We would tell them to F...off and the drug dealer would serve his 3 years and get kicked out of the country. He would have had 3 years board and food at our expence.We should mind our own business and not interfere in other countries laws as we do not like them interfering with oursI fully support capital and corporal punnishment, and think it should be introduced here.I think they should also televise the execution/punnishment as this would be a powerful deterrent. Could you imagine if a serial rapist had his dick cut off on TV, or how about a drugdealer dieing by OD of the drugs he was trying to smuggle. You would need to draw the line, but if you know that pedofiles get punnished by the parents of the kid, with baseball bats, you may think twice.The problem is not the punnishments, it the people who do the crimes that do not deserve to live in our society.I hope the next idiot that is thinking of going to asia to smuggle drugs, wakes up to themselves and decides against it and gets a real job.
