In Dune's democracy one Conservative vote counts for 10 of anybody else's.

2 or 3 more; not Kris Commons and Del Fonso was a very firm NO !

I'm bored of them already.

Which of the 2 examples ? In the first case an innocentman was executed. In both cases a trial jury found the defendant guilty, so there was apparently no doubt, at least 'beyond any reasonable...', at that point. Who draws the line ? Who verifies that sufficient evidence has been supplied to ensure that there is 'no doubt at all' ? Define 'no doubt at all'. There are a multitude of cases where people have been found guilty, and only after serving many years inside, ( those lucky enough not to have been hanged that is ), has a Miscarriage of Justice been shown to have occurred: http://www.innocent.org.uk/cases/

We did exactly the same thread in 2009, and on that one I posted the following link : http://truenorth-armagh.blogspot.com/2009/09/better-that-one-hundred-guilty-men-go.html When does 'absolute proof' stop being 'absolute' ? Edit : also try Googling 'Lesley Molseed' and read the case of Stephan Kisko, who would have been executed if we had retained the death penalty. ( One of a multitude of examples that could be used ).

In you look at the murder rates in each of the states in the USofA, 19 of the highest ranked 20 states have the death penalty, 8 of the lowest 9 do not. So much for deterrence. http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/murder-rates-nationally-and-state#MRord http://www.ncadp.org/index.cfm?content=45

So maybe the Church should provide for the offspring consequential to their teachings. Then again, if the Orthodox are anything like the RCs I wouldn't let them anywhere near children.

We should be able to cope without RL, as we are always one torn achilles away from losing him for the season.

Another slot in the TV schedule to avoid.

FACT = we are top of the league ( even if 'boro go on win this afternoon ) FACT = we have the best GD Why should we assume the wheels are ALL going to fall off ? How do you think the Man Ure fans feel after their result today ? How many wrist slitters are jumping off the bridges over the M60 ?

We once had a fieldmouse in the kitchen - our 3 cats just sat and watched it running around until I caught it and put it out in the garden, at which point they took an interest.

You do understand the concept of Parliamentary democracy, don't you ? Minority opinion sometimes gets outvoted.

Whether you support hunting or not, the main problem with the 'ban' is that it is a bad law - badly drafted, poorly implemented, and practically impossible to enforce.

Could you possibly explain - are those farmers that don't support it 'unreal' or 'surreal', and what do they produce ?

What about 'Looney Left', 'Millibean', or 'Liberal Elite' ?

How is this determined ? By birth & tradition I support Saints, I work in Blackpool,( @ Bloomfield Road Stadium ), having lived up here since 1980, and the geographically nearest league team to me is Morecambe, ( though Fleetwood Town are much nearer ).
