Iran to execute 30 on Sunday. Among the crimes: "being a public nuisance while drunk." Uh-oh

What did the number '30' ever do to you?!

30 packed

I know we are supposed to respect other cultures and viewpoints, but jeez... Crap like this just helps dorks like Bush justify his own human rights atrocities.

I guess "national security" has different meanings to different people.

Have we as a farking nation gone insane? Didn't we elect to be our head of state someone who was (daddy aside) most know for executing people on death row? Who the fark is awake?

Jon Snow: Have we as a farking nation gone insane? Didn't we elect to be our head of state someone who was (daddy aside) most know for executing people on death row? Who the fark is awake?

what does that have to do with anything?

Among the crimes: "being a public nuisance while drunk."

I'm crossing Iran off my world tour visit list.

I thought decapitation and hangings were a relic of the dark ages.

Religion needs to be abolished.

Jon Snow: ...Didn't we elect to be our head of state someone who was (daddy aside) most know for executing people on death row? ...

As opposed to executing people not on death row?

What took so long to get this greenlit?

Wake up and smell Iran.

-30-

Hoopy Frood: -30-

Thread over, apparently.

The side bar on that article says that 29 were already executed. No mention of #30.

You are generally more upbeat when folks die.

nashBridges: If you want executions to stop in Texas, either make the state's populace outlaw it or convince the US Supreme Court that the death penalty is unconstitutional and should be outlawed.

The latter is more likely than the former.

Hell, keep 'em coming......

being a public nuisance while drunk and being involved in illegal relationships -- relationships between men and women who are not married to each other.

Jesus Christ, if this doesn't show social mores are bullshiat, I don't know what does. You can cross an imaginary line called a border and be considered a criminal.

Is this the thread where we engage in moral equivalence and say we have no right to criticize since:

A: Christianity is just as bad because some guy killed an abortion doctor ten years ago.

B: We started the Crusades.

C: Western culture rapes the planet.

D: Our foreign policy justifies these punishments.

I imagine executions are a big event in texas
tailgate parties, lots o' booze an beer, fireworks, parades, cheerleaders, the works

Especially if you do them in that order. Very tricky.

Don't you know your history? They totally didn't use cranes in the dark ages....

Religion needs to be abolished.

Michigan's Dearborn area has the 2nd largest arabic muslim population outside of the middle east, right behind Paris. However, you never hear about Michigan cracking down on alcoholics or extra-marital sex.

Religion has both good and bad. Abolishing religion is as stupid as abolishing guns, or abolishing free speech, because it doesn't fix the problem you want to solve.

A lot of people get caught out by not knowing the imaginary rules or ignoring the imaginary lines. Edumakashuns be guid tools 4 lerning stuff liek thees.

You are mad.

Stick to guarding that wall of ice.

Boritom: I know we are supposed to respect other cultures and viewpoints, but jeez... Crap like this just helps dorks like Bush justify his own human rights atrocities.

Still, one has to wonder what their divorce rate is. Remember folks... the bible states adulteration is condemnable by death. So most Americans who claim they are Christian are in violation of their own religious moores.

Not imaginary, just unseen.

As is the case with murders, one needs to recognize that not all applications of the death penalty are equally bad.

Yeah, well, there's also something there about who gets to cast the first stone, with or without someone blowing a whistle.

well....maybe the BJ was worth it. maybe.

TheGreyPiper: /What's the problem? Not a fan of multiculturalism and plurality?

I absolutely despise this farking lie. Whether or not you meant to imply this, you get to be my scapegoat for this rant.

You can have multi-culturalism without accepting farking murder. Somehow, someone, somewhere managed to convince people that to deviate at all from the traditional white christian american culture is to allow our nation to be raped and pillaged, which is a load of shiat. Because, you know, in the past 200 years our culture hasn't changed at all.

Or maybe they're right. If anything in this world makes you want to murder someone, its eating Thai food, or Taco Bell. And I hear that this new Jazz stuff is causing our kids to dance with their hips!

Rethorn: causing our kids to dance with their hips!


omg!
SICK!!!

So Iran executes 300+ people a year and they don't have a proper gallows with a neck breaking trap door?

The picture in the article just shows the guy gettin' hoisted up by the neck with a construction crane. That's gotta be a biatch.

/knows the signals for guiding construction cranes
// the hang 'em high signal involves the middle finger

sigh

I just bought Hang 'Em High so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

log_jammin: well....maybe the BJ was worth it. maybe.

Dunno about the Iranis, but I hear that some of those Saudi Arabian adulterers gave pretty good head.

Jon Snow: Have we as a farking nation gone insane? Didn't we elect to be our head of state someone who was (daddy aside) most know for executing people on death row? Who the fark is awake?

Do you think you're in Iran right now? I can see how that can be confusing.

muslim_pakistani_guy: sigh

Do they really have tanks just sitting around like that in Pakistan?

Biological Ali: Dunno about the Iranis, but I hear that some of those Saudi Arabian adulterers gave pretty good head.

really?

I always assumed anything other than standard sex was illegal or just no practiced very much in the middle east.

I don't know why ive assumed that but i have.

The Iranian judiciary's statement said that all 30 were convicted of crimes including murder, murder in commission of a crime, disturbing public safety and security, being a public nuisance while drunk and being involved in illegal relationships -- relationships between men and women who are not married to each other.

I'm not a right-winger. I'm not religious. I'm not above recognizing terrible, terrible sins of my own home.

God bless America. I remain thankful that I can fight for rights and privileges others have never even dreamt of enjoying.

And God bless the people of Iran.

Jesus claimed he was there to uphold the law (Old Testament) and not to destroy it. One can't claim to hold very tiny parts of the Old Testament like Noah or Adam and Eve while tossing the rest and still claim to be Christian.

log_jammin: I always assumed anything other than standard sex was illegal or just no practiced very much in the middle east.

It is illegal. In fact, adultery is a capital offense punished by decapitation in Saudi Arabia, in accordance with the Shariah.
