Our country now is mourning due to the lethal injection of our 3 Filipino people in china.

Yes I am very sad for them., I couldn't imagine how could they took lives that easy. I pray that may God be with the family that they left and may God save their souls..

You mean the three drug smugglers?

They say but its not even clear as they say there was an illegal recruiter has done it for them.

They were tried and convicted under the law for trying to smuggle heroine. More than 4 kilos is too much for none of them to notice they were carrying it. Of course they would say they were duped when they got caught. No one is privileged to transcend the law and this should be implemented everywhere.

I still don't believe in killing somebody we are all just creation by God. God has pardon even the great sinners. Why not they could have them life imprisoned instead. Who are we to kill when we have not even created a single fetus in womb is not by God will. He give life he alone can take.

I understand what you're trying to say, but that's your belief, not China's government. Who are you to impose your belief to theirs? They have their own set of laws that they have to follow and what visitors follow once they set foot in their country. If a China man is in the Philippines, would you not want them to follow the Philippine's laws too?

Those people knew that when they carried those drugs in their person. What the Philippine government should do, if they don't want their countrymen to be executed in a similar fashion in the future is to impose stricter laws and actually implement them. Another is to go after the growing number of organized syndicates recruiting Filipinos as drug mules.

Yes your right we have to follow their unchristian rules and laws. We imprison person for life but not kill. They don't own their lives and who are they to say they have clean hands. Have you forgotten the MELAMINE issue. They should be the one to be lethal.

I am for the death penalty, in fact I do not think it is used enough. There are so many people in prison for life without parole that is just taking up space. All they are doing is corrupting the other inmates who are just there for a few years. The prison systems worldwide are over populated because the punishments are not strict enough. Violent offenders who kill people, which heroin kills people and if they were smuggling it in, then it is like they were killing people and should be considered violent offenders and they do not belong in society.

Just imagine how much less of a drug problem there would be if the governments started executing those who were tried and found guilty! Yes it is sad that it was someone from your country, but they chose that life...

Yes, I believe in the death penalty. Life is full of choices..some make choices to sell drugs, rape and kill. They have no thought of their victims. Why should we cry when these people get caught and have to pay for their actions? There is also a saying from the Bible.....An eye for a eye.

I wasn't aware that we were talking about the Melamine issue. And regarding that issue, that's why we have the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD).

Like I already mentioned before, it's China's prerogative. Clean hands or not, they have a right to implement it, like you have the right to your beliefs.



You actually contradicted your own statements with this.

My opinion is this. There are certainly people who deserve to die, but I am against the death penalty. This is because the decision to execute is too important to be left to anybody but me. Since I can't be on every jury . . .

Dear in new testament Christ did not use this verse anymore since he offered his life to ransom the life of many including you and me and all of us are sinners.

I just said that to give you idea that they are not clean people that they themselves can be subjected to death penalty if that's what they wanted.

Ah, but I never said they were "clean", and I'm quite sure they know they can be subjected to the death penalty in their country since it is their law.

I believe in both.
they both exist.

I think it's a tad bit hypocritical.

"Killing is wrong. You killed someone. Now we are going to kill you."

Is it wrong or isn't it?

I knew a guy who said he would be FOR the death penalty if killing the murderer brought the murderer's victim back to life. I could see that. Otherwise it's just "It's OK for us to do this, but it's wrong for you to do it."

Who's really qualified to make that distinction?

That's one reason why I consider myself an anarchist. It's less about the actual death itself (as we're all going to have to deal with that sooner or later, anyway) -- it's more about people assuming they have the right to make that sort of decision for others.

Well said,I agree.
