        sociopath (soh-see-uh-path, soh-shee-uh-path) Someone whose social behavior is extremely abnormal. Sociopaths are interested only in their personal needs and desires, without concern for the effects of their behavior on others. (Compare psychopath.) Does sociopath really fit as a description? He felt he was doing something for the religion, and ultimately for his brethren. It doesn't sound like he believes it was a personal need. Good music: In my rosary[^]

          I agree. The older synonym - psycopath[^] - seems more fitting. Absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power Eric Hoffer The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not. Eric Hoffer

                  I never saw the movie, but when people start linking social issues like women abuse with religion there will always be a nut case who will show an extreme response. Couple of interesting things to note about Islam It is the only religion where women have given equal rights and a higher social stature. The Quran specifically says that “if someone says something you deem objectionable about the God or Prophet Muhammad, ignore them”

                        There is no death penalty in the EU, it is illegal according to the European Convention on Human Rights. And frankly, death penalty would be too quick and easy. A life behind bars seems a harsher punishment for me.

                                  IMO, death is too easy a way out for those who commit heinous crimes. They should be given a life sentence. But if the criminal in question is part of a terrorist organization which might take hostages and demand his release, he should be killed to avoid things like this[^] from happening. Cheers, Vikram.

Other than that, no. On the other hand I really resent that I work hard and live a decent and honest life which is disrupted by these c***s who then get to live out their miserable existence paid for by my taxes which are being diverted from helping the elderly and homeless, to name but 2 segments of the community that need help. If you would rather spend the money on a killer go ahead. See if it makes you feel better the next time you pass a homeless guy on the street. Oh, and in the UK we do not execute anyone anymore and they all get a cell with a tv and lots of other little necesaties. Like heroin. K(arl) wrote: Prove it. As above.

You do love to take the bits that suit you, don't you? You know very well what I was inferring. At least with a quick death (should that be deemed an appropriate punishment) we are not prolonging the agony for the sake of undue cruelty. Or would you rather we went back to hanging them, drawing them and then a final quartering with a flourish of their heads allowed to rot on stakes???

Because death penalty is more expensive than a life sentence, I would say your solution would worsen the situation of elderly and homeless. Hey, I've got a better solution, let's execute the homeless! legalAlien wrote: they all get a cell with a tv and lots of other little necesaties Yeah, being confined in a room of 3 meters by 2 meters sounds really like paradise[^], as long as there's TV in it legalAlien wrote: would you rather we went back to hanging them, drawing them and then a final quartering with a flourish of their heads allowed to rot on stakes In term of sadism, breaking on the wheel seemed more popular. Anyway I'm against death penalty. legalAlien wrote: Sorry if I'm ranting No problem. I lived in Paris in 1995 during the bombing campaign on Paris public transport, I can understand your feelings.
