I suspect someone has been watching "Avatar". :mosking:

But let's come back to planet Earth and more mundane things, shall we? What about Denis Yevsyukov whose case is being tried now and which...

This is very true. :roll: To be quite honest, I don't really enjoy it when people start splitting hairs in forum discussions and just being very boring, which I see a lot on my local forum but not...

What would you do?
Now I don't understand you. :D You were very clear and straightforward that criminals should not be put to death -- even if they killed a lot of people, and there is...

Well, even if it is war time, human laws should still apply...


The thing is, when I think of partisans I usually imagine WWII. When the Germans occupied part of Russia, many people went into...

Local civilians may have no choice but to collaborate because the partisans have frightened them into it. In which case the poor wretches are caught between a rock and a hard place. Of course, it is...

This is sophistry. :evil: The point of the story is that innocent civilians are killed. They do not fight and do not start wars. Stop. The sergeant has no right to vent his grief on people who are...

I don't know... I have no trouble whatsoever calling for example Hitler "subhuman" or "monster", if you will. Suppose he didn't commit suicide, what would you do with him after WWII if death penalty...

Да мне тоже это показалось странным... Вон Демьянюка судят 50 лет спустя после Холокоста, уже седым старцем, а тут какой-то год прошёл... Ну да я не юрист. Конечно, в данном случае сложно определить...

Да здравствует наш суд, самый гуманный суд в мире? :o

И фто? Не поняла. Отрубление рук и носов никоим образом не является справедливым наказанием за кражу... Если мораль в том, что правосудие продажно и несправедливо... Так это не всегда так, я видела и...

Yes, I agree. I need to see it working. If I remember correctly, according to Richard Dawkins, and other scientists, one of the most evolutionary stable strategies is "Tit for Tat" (which is...

Err... I don't quite understand why anybody would choke on his food hearing it mentioned -- as a historical fact it gets mentioned when the subject of the Great Patriotic War comes up. I believe in...

It is horrible. But I suppose it must have happened half a century ago, when blacks were still discriminated. Even in tzarist Russia people weren't necessarily executed if they committed just one...

'Subhuman' is the correct English translation for 'untermensch'.

Principles are all fine as long as it doesn't get personal. I think you can only say that your principles are firm enough only after you've been in a similar situation yourself. That's why I'm not...

Barshevsky is against death penalty.

A few weeks ago I heard on the news that a poll...

Wouldn't the European human rights activists rush in and say we can't use the labour of convicts? You know, I'm starting to have second thoughts... Because if those people don't work then it's the...

I'm with Johanna on this one. Let those people who committed specially atrocious crimes work for a lifetime - with no GULAG I s'pose we need hands. Death is horrible in and of itself. Violent death...
