Should the death penalty be given for drug traffickers?

i dont think it is right to kill im but jus lok iom up instead

Well again, it is as simple as Tony said. It is absurd to kill someone over drugs. But eventhough i can feel very sorry for him and all that. But even if you are in a desperate situation, you don’t go to Singapore with drugs. If he was that desperate willing to commit suicide, he had better just shot himself.

Agree or not, one thing that can be said for the Singaporean government–they carry out their threats. White or not, it doesn’t matter; if their laws provide for caning, death, whatever, and you break those laws, then you know exactly what will happen as a result.

Fercrissakes, you run drugs, you accept the occupational hazards!! Otherwise teach English, drive a bus, go to med school….

Why is it absurd to execute someone for drug trafficking?

Is it absurd if the crime is murder? Or rape? Or shoplifting> The countries which have the death penalty have it because that’s what the populace residing there wants. Australia doesn’t, so they cry “barbarism”. Singapore, the USA, China, et al. do; so these people are all barbarians? Why? That’s what the majority of these people want. You commit a capital offence in these places, how can you then complain about what’s in store for you after you are caught and convicted?

That is whiner’s remorse–just like Corby. Hands up, please, anyone who thinks she’s innocent after the recent revelations about her consorting with hydroponic pot growers. Geeeeez.

The US doesn’t execute people over drugs??

Toney, are you an alien visiting the planet for the first time??

Well, it’s not a question wether it’s barbaric or not. The question is: does death penalty and lower crime rates go together. The answer is: they don’t. Statistics all over the world show that countries with deathpenalty have higher crime ratings. Why? Because if you broke a law killing people, or whatever( danger of getting executed ) you will defend yourself more and heavier, using heavier arms. So you get more and worse criminal facts. And a weapon-loving countrie like the usa with a rifle association… gives a good example of what i mean.
Singapore is the only place with different surrounding factors. It’s a very big city, but there are gradually less poor people, and many criminals executed come from outside Singapore.

Yes the US should execute all drug traffickers including those that are United States Citizens live on World Wide Television and the way to do that is by firing squad. Hey whinos Drug Trafficking isn’t a low crime it is a high crime. If we the US decides to institute the Death Penalty for all drug traffickers we would become the 2nd nation in the Northern World to institue the death penalty just after communist cuba.

ricky are u serious? that’s what the populace wants? ya i forgot how democratic those countries are. lock them up and let them think about their crime for 15 or 20 years and try to make them better more procutive citizens.

Yeah, kill ‘em, but kill the tobacco merchants of death, the booze manufacturers, the gambling casino tycoons, and all the millions of doctors worldwide who get their patients addicted to Oxycontin, Prozac, Xanax, Librium, Valium, uppers, downers and more.

It reeks of hypocrisy, and it’s a little political, to boot.

By the way, how are the waves down there?

i love durry’s!!!

erm..i think he shud be hang..bcoz drugs traffickers is goin to destroy society culture and oso wil increase the criminal..so he shud be hang..all the drugs traffickers should be die..

Drug trafficking or any other act other than that of a brutal murder should NOT have the death penalty sentenced for. Capital punishment in brutal murders is only used as revenge anyway, there is not deterrent factor in it.

No the Death Punishment should not be!!! being in a bali jail would be punishment in its self far worse then what they have done !!! Simply they are all someones children !! would you high judges etc kill your child for selling Drugs of Course Not ) THINK ABOUT THAT And you know in your hearts thats the truth just hope your children dont get caught !! & send affenders home to be delt in there own country

Drugs destroy lifes , they cause profound social damage , wreck families and nations. The Death penalty must be compulsory and mandatory for drug lords and traffickers. The death penalty is a fitting penalty for those life wreckers and merchants of death. Think about the pain and suffering of drug addicts and their families. As for drug addicts ,they become derelicts and losers ; their lifes are ruined.
