Norseman Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 cos they're all fraudulent and lead to people not seeking real medical help whilst milking the vulnerable of their cash - I recently spoke to a chiropracter who reckons he can cure asthma by manipulating my spine. should be in prison in my humble opinion. I visit a Osteopath for my spine why? because all my GP has ever done is said 'take an ibuprofen and lie down' I had a slipped disc for heavens sake, the Osteopath got me walking again whereas the GP did sweet BA Maybe GP's should be means tested and added to this list. If you believe Asthma can be cured by a Chiropractor then you are foolish. Chiropractors and Osteopaths are similar but not the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 All you know is that capital punishment doesn't work as a deterrent for some people. That's what I said. Capital punishment doesn't work. Glad you agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It doesn't bring back the victim though. I suggest the problem needs tackling at source and that means discouraging from carrying knives in the first place. If we can do that, then maybe we can stop some of the senseless waste that takes place in the heat of a moment when a kid carrying a knife decides to use it. I personally think we need more stop and search and some form of punishment for those found carrying knives. I suggested birching as an option because the prisons are full, but if somebody can come up with a better idea that will discourage people from carrying knives I'm all for that....Maybe national service for those found carrying.....Instill some discipline into them. Regards Doom Well there is a better way.....put them in a cell with the relatives of the victim for 5 minutes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angos Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 That's what I said. Capital punishment doesn't work. Glad you agree. No you didn't, you said it doesn't work, and you can't know that it doesn't work, all you do know is that it doesn't work for some people, whilst it might work for significantly more people than it doesn't work for.

Chris_Sleeps Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 all you do know is that it doesn't work for some people, whilst it might work for significantly more people than it doesn't work for. This is turning into a real mountain of gibberish. It does work, for some people, and it doesn't work, for some people, and we cannot know what some people who it doesn't work for does work ... or doesn't. Let's move back into the real world of plain English. In states where capital punishment is used, there is no evidence that they have lower crime rates. Thus, capital punishment isn't a deterrent. I shall go to bed after that wonderfully crafted statement. Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your logic is seriously flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The only good punishment is hanging - 100% of people hung do not commit crime again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncocker Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 what offences would you use it for doom? if I favoured it, I'd thrash for - - speeding - kills many people a year. - tax fraud - it's strangling our economy. - parking near schools - puts children's lives at risk. - drunk driving - with a new 0% alcohol limit. - any racially aggravated offence, along with prison sentence. - allowing a dog to be out of control, especially if it's a known aggressive breed. - homeopathy, acupuncture, spiritualism etc this is what you get in singapore :gag:it does have a tendency to put you off re offending http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8eb_1269138010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 this is what you get in singapore :gag:it does have a tendency to put you off re offending http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8eb_1269138010 If that was the punishment for carrying a knife or a gun, I'm sure most youngsters would soon stop carrying them. It does come across as barbaric, but plunging a knife into someone and killing them is even more barbaric. Regards Doom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
