Maybe what he really needed was counselling and a good probation officer.

Well, Uncle Scott, do you think you are in Glasgow or Edinburgh, where the Scots rape laws are the worst in the world, and where convictions rate are very low.!
Wake up, Uncle Scott, you are in the Magic Kingdom, where sword is the final word in raping children! Laughing

Uncle Scott, be careful, don't mess up with small children in the Magic KIngdom, your head will be under that famous double-edge sword of Ali Baba. Laughing

Counselling and probation... are you f'ing kidding? That's when you have a habit of petty theft, vandalism, stealing purses from old women, or road rage.

I disagree with the Saudi way of life, morals, traditions, and esp the justice system 95% of the time, but once in a while they do something I agree with, and executing rapists is one of those things. Perhaps if other countries did the same, children would be safer.

Rapists should be executed, especially child rapists. That's one of the very few punishments that the Saudi 'justice' system metes out that I wholeheartedly agree with and endorse. No mercy for [child] rapists, whatsoever.

Here is another case, and this guy raped 5 children:

[I don't agree with the 'crucifixion' mentioned in the BBC link, but after reading the 2nd paragraph in the article, I don't object to it too strongly]
[And it is curious how BBC refers to him as a 'paedophile'... there is a huge difference between a paedophile and a violent child rapist]

Yes, raping young boys is an easy case for a Saudi judge to decide. Now, had the man raped young GIRLS, the Saudi judge would have had to decide to what degree the GIRLS had contributed to the crime by simply being female and in the proximity of a non-related male who could rape them.

Justice? Just take a look at what happened to the Qatif girl. There is no justice for female rape victims in KSA.

Do you believe that two adult gay males engaging in consensual sex should be executed? Just curious.

I don't know why you would make a leap like that.

The answer to your question is no.

Dear Deicide,

Only if they're doing it outside in the street and they're both ugly. I mean, there ARE some things I'd rather were kept in the bedroom, behind closed doors.

Regards,
John

Dear NCTBA,

Umm, sounds like an oxymoron to me - but my same standards would apply.

Regards,
John

P.S. Also same for one straight male and one gay male - or any other possible combination. Smile

Well, let me ask everybody in here. If you can choose to be an animal in your next life, would you like to be a male pig engaging in a consensual sex with your owner or would you like to engage in a consensual sex with anothe male pig? Laughing

If you do it in the Magic kingdom, then your head will be under the sword! Laughing

Dear 007,

How could you do so in the Kingdom: NO PIGS ALLOWED? (but kitties are OK.)

Regards,
John
