Shame we don't do that here.

Another country showing us up.

Wouldn't go as far as saying I wish we did that here but at least they punish criminals for their crimes. We put them up in 5 star hotels and make sure all their human rights are satisfied before letting them out early for good behaviour.

I still don't understand this phenomenon of calling prisons "hotels". I've known a few people who have been in prison, including my own brother, and the only ones who've ever said it's easy are the ones who are constantly in and out.

You can thank the CIA for that.

given what they did to the US embassy I seriously doubt it tbh...

One of my old cadet instructors served in the former shah's army - were quite a few brits seconded there apparently - was a reasonably friendly regime to the west so I couldn't really see the logic behind replacing it with a bunch of islamic radicals.

My idea of prison is a small room with a bed, sink and a toilet. I'd wager most, if not all, of our prisons are nothing like that and far more luxurious than other prisons around the world. Prison should be a place to do your time and never want to return to again once you're done.

May be a personal question but have you ever done time inside?

Like I said; I know a few people who've done time and most say what you just said (yellowed).

Nope, nor do I ever want to.

Couldn't agree more. They're still in the middle ages tbh.

So is that mindset of "Our way is better than their's"

Their country, their laws. Leave them to it.

I am sorry but I think personally that heavy offenders should be stoned, a mass murderer ( terrorist) or serial killer deserves a painful death, stoning should be the minimum sentance....

Some/most may disagree with me, but IMHO that makes you no better than them.

To me, people like you come across as bloodthirsty and over-emotional when facing such an issue.

Seen a few videos of stonings and they are brutal, if a religion requires death for certain crimes then imo at least make it quick.

The rule with stoning is that if you get out of the hole and make it to the edge of the crowd then you are free to go, the woman buried up to her chest doesn't have much of a chance does she?

Scum bags as far as im concerned, the young 17yr old girl that was killed was murdered by her own family because she fell in love with someone from outside their particular religion. As she was whimpering on the ground someone took pity on her and ended her misery by dropping an extra large rock on her head.

The current punishments are a joke, people ( or animals they are) like that should be afraid to get stoned, so they won't kill anyone any more... I do not believe anyone capable of crimes as such is deserved to live, and should feel pain for his crimes...

I'm not going to get into a drawn-out debate about capital punishment as I get into this with people all the time, and I just can't be bothered anymore. But, even though I agree with you that the current justice system needs a re-haul, I just don't think there's any excuse to kill anyone and I think it's especially pointless/sadistic to want to kill someone as brutally as you want to.

It's not pointless, it's to strike fear into criminals... Fear for a painful death.

If your logic worked then there'd be no crime in Iran, yet nine people are on the block.

It's not an acronym. It's the word "Disco" spelled out.

There will always be people that think they will get away with it.

I wonder what the crime rate in those countries are relative to popluation? I bet if you leave a ferrari car door open with the keys in the ignition it won't be nicked.
