If/when a prisoner wants to commit suicide should we let them?
Well maybe far better we bring the death penalty back.h... not much mileage in that one - banned by EU treaty, and
impossible
to administer without innocent deaths we can't bring the death penalty
back...
I see that as an example of how the British are allowing the European
Legislature ruin our British civilisation.
Really? - I see quite the opposite. It is a useful protection against
the
short-termism of national governments.
And what is the differnece between the short termism of national
governments
and European Parliament?
The lifetime of a person is only 'short-term' (it's a short life to learn
wisdom in, hopefully not too short). And who is to say what stands
presently
in European Community Law shall not change in the future, in some other
person's lifetiume, or even in the lifetime of a next European Paliament.
After all, sovereingty is quite by definition a tem,poral thing and the
laws
of the land(s) are susceptible to new philosophy, and therefore
suseptible
to change.
The death-penalty is a crappy idea, as this thread shows.
I dont believe that.
Death kilss. Terminates. It kills the person's body, soul and part of
their future influence. What is done, learnt from, valued etc. by the
person (and which may affect other people who may begin to live by the
'rules' of the criminal who is eligible for the death penalty) is cut
short somewhat by the death sentence.
The ultimate injunction.
Jesus was nailed to the cross; his teachings and influence remain. On a
larger scale than most criminals I should add (or is Jesus the biggest
criminal of all time?). The death penalty prevented him from saying more,
doing more. He left quite a legacy, according to testament, none the
less.
I have completed the first month's readng from Pepys diaries. January 1661.
I find it quite noteworthy how he went the whole month and uttered not one
profanity.
Apparently made love with his wife once, and happened by her kissing or
being kissed by another (a Frenchman).
Met three or four ill people, some close to death. And witnessed the hanging
of the dead corpse of Cromwell.
Good old days.
Hanging out the corpse, at Tyburn (I suppose you'd have to know something
about London to understand Tyburn and Walbrook). Already dead, but put on
public show? As a sign of good faith? To God? To the Sovereign people of
England?
