[raging, fuming rant mode]ARRRRRGH DIE DIE DIE MONGREL FREAK OF NATURE ASS-MUNCHING APE-****ING EVIL BASTARD! NO-GOOD INHUMAN TIT-LICKING *****! RAAAAGH HULK SMASH![/raging, fuming rant mode]
Ugh! I cannot understand why people do this to each other. I saw a fly buzzing around while I read that news story; maybe that's a sign that I should beat her ****ing daylights out.:mad::mad2:
-
Yay.. go humanity :rolleyes:
-
how in the world did she make the connection between a spider and drowning her kids? I wonder what that train of thought was like.
"A spider....wait a minute! spiders eat bugs, bugs crawl on the ground, the ground is the opposite of the ocean, the ocean has water, people drown in water, I was about to bathe my kids! it must be a sign that i have to drown my kids!"
-
What a ****ing *****. Witch She's A Witch Burn her on the Stake! BURN HER BURRRRRRRRN HER!

that bastard why peoples kill own kid's
-
i think shes retarded...
-
there really should be a parenting diploma.
man, i hope it was reasonalby quick for the kids, getting drowned by your own mom.....
-
What a ****ing nut, she should be drowned in a bathtub by her husband.
-
Kill her. If possible, in a very, very painful way. Drowning in weak acid or gassing, anyone?
I belive that such people should be executed on the spot. They do not deserve the right to live.
-
And yet when the State tries to execute a mentally retarded person they can't do it. Go logic! :doubt:
-
Is that "because they're not in full posession of their faculties"?
Meh..
It might seem cold - but if any person is deemed to be a danger to another by design / personality / etc. then they should be removed from society. Be it armed robbers to murders. I'm fairly sure the crime rate would drop.
-
What is this now, a traumatic childhood, one disappointment too many in life?
Ah people, stubborn badasses yet so fragile, one unfortunate event and all is lost forever.
If just we remembered to treat one another right, should grief like this be eradicated from the face of earth.

'Removal from Society' can be done in a lot of ways other than frying people, I do not condone Stoning, there for I do not condone lethal injection or electrocution or any other method of murdering (pre-meditated) some-one.
Killing her won't bring those children back, but possibly getting this woman back to a state where she realises what she has done to her own children is a far truer justice? Even then, let her serve life for it, same as any murderer.
As for Robbers, well, my idea for this is simple. You pay the cost of any stolen goods found on your property back to the people it was stolen from, if identifiable, or to a fund to help victims if not. If you are caught 3 times, even petty theft, then you get 15, preferably hard labor. Harsh, I know, but while I know people are hard up in this country, I cannot find it right to steal from other people who are equally hard up, but have worked that little bit harder, or seen a tiny bit more luck.

[color=66ff00]My thoughts exactly. She's obviously disturbed.

Poor husband.... I wonder how bad it'd feel to have your kids be killed by your wife. :blah:
Is this some kind of religious thing? Anyone know any cults obsessed with spiders?
-
Itsy Bitsy Spider anyone?
If you listen closely to the song, you'll notice the hidden verse:
"The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the spout again,
Then told the lady to drown all her children."
-
Anyway let me get my hands on her...
I'll lock that B*tch up in a hobox (like in cool hand Luke) and let some black widows make a new "friend" (lets see how atpeace she feels then) :cool:
(Lawful good alignment mixed with obsessvie complusion and perfectionism is a dangerous thing -TEST ME!) :lol:
BTW: Yes it won't bring back the children, but this definately means she won't be having more children to drown or getting access to anyone else's! I am pro death penalty for one crime only: 1st degree MURDER (and the person is actually guilty!)... If you are so wacked out that you can't be responsible for your actions then you should have been put down a LONG time ago before this could even happen, sorry if that offends anyone.

wow this was a creepy statement. but if she is screwed up, what will the kids be like :shaking:
you do know that was in jest... right?

Maybe she should be put in a really small room with a few hundred tarantulas :p There's your sign right there.

women. ****ing asshole... screw her...

****ed-up people happen. Torturing them, stoning them, or setting the remainder of their families on fire isn't going to do much to stop them being nutty, or discourage other people from being insane. Deal with it. Yeah, sure, the whole lynch-mob spiel with the self-righteous anger and momentarily justified sadism is kinda fun, I guess, but it's pretty impractical, and that's really the way bad situations get worse- hell, look at our foreign policy. Same deal.
Honestly, this particular situation isn't really the business of anyone here. It's a community remote from us, and people we don't know aside from in the most abstract- passing judgement on them seems a little... self-important, doesn't it? Thinking about the situation, taking measures to prevent similar situations occurring, locally or even (possibly) worldwide seems like it'd be an intelligent thing to do in response to this sort of thing; calling someone you don't know names because you heard a vaguely-worded, poorly informed news snippet about them is pretty weak.
Besides which, it's more fun to call people you do know names.
-
how are you going to stop insane people from flipping out and killing people, particularly the insaine people you don't know are insaine untill they do something like this?
I say kill'er and be done with it, locking her up for the rest of her life is close enough, but I'd prefer the executiuon,
however, to be totaly honest, I don't realy care what the **** happens to this person or the people around her, so long as they are far away from me, it's just like all the stupid other stupid irreleven horable things that happen that lose all relevence or intrest to me after about ten minuts, like the guy who killed his wife on christmas, who's name escapes me for the moment but you can't ****ing get away from it on TV... peterson, kill him what's the point in trying to rehabilitate the guy? though if he's in prison for the rest of his life fine, whatever, I don't care,
it's all just stupid random people amung the hundreds of thousands of stupid random people doing stupid random things that realy have no bairing on the rest of the world

I should note that my post represented my usual opinion on what should be done with murderers, and it was not influenced by self-righteous anger. I maintain this opinion constantly.
On the other hand, I agree that a short news article is not the best thing to base your judgement on. My opinion holds if general events presented in the article actually happened.
-
For once, I agree with Stryke.

This calls for a favourite quote of mine:
You need a licence for a TV, but any idiot can have a baby
-
Bah, IIRC you don't need any special qualifications to get a TV license it Britain. It's just a way of charging viewers to support the BBC channels.
-
Don't get me started
-
Wait, you guys need a license for TV? Oo;;;

's how they fund public "service".
I have a TV, and I do not pay any license. because I don't watch it that much.
-
Alright, I'm taking this thread OT:
[rant]
The BBC (British Broadcasting Company) has several TV and radio channels. They are advert-free, and instead their funding comes from the 'licence fee', which costs colour TV owners over 100 pounds a year (108, IIRC). What gets my goat is that I never watch BBC channels. I pay a huge cable bill (I got the sports package, so it costs) so I can watch cable channels, so why the **** should I pay the licence fee on top of that for channels I never EVER watch? The answer is that if I don't pay, I'll go to jail if they catch me.
****ing state-sponsored extortion is what it is. I try not to get in to political rants but this thing gets me more worked up the more I think about it. I really ought to find an online protest or something, so at leats I can say I've made a protest even if no-one in power will give a ****...
The other thing that I noticed is that our governemnt is pushing for as many homes as possible homes to get digital TV, so people have access to nuff information (the same strategy that sees generic eastern european refugees over here given broadband before they're given money for food and clothes). At the same time they push up the licence fee so that the BBC can compete with the milions of new cable programs. Bastards.

-
dg: same deal here in sweden. except you'll just get a fine. and they need you to confess to having a tv unless they go to the police about it.
oh, an empty bottle of julmust. that must mean I won't ever pay my tv license.
-
Actually to be fair, I'd be looking at a fine rather than jail over here too. £1000 fine, mind.
The solution apparently is, whan the licence man knocks, drag your telly over to the opposite corner of the room and hook all your consoles up to it. Claim that you only ever play Nintendo on it and deny all knowledge of the loose cable and ariel leads and TV-shaped discoloured patch on the wallpaper where the TV blatantly was three minutes ago :nod:
-
well, I could rearrange my place, but since you have to unlock two doors to even get to the hall, the risk isn't overwhelmingly big, as the rest of the people in my hall don't pay the license either.
-
They have the state-sponsored TV **** over here IIRC, with PBS, although they bury the cost somewhere in your taxes and they don't pay the station very much--PBS gets most of its money from advertisements and from begging for donations ("viewers like you"). There's also NPR, which is a government-funded radio station, but that money comes from taxes too.

As I said, the Teletubbies won't come after you with lasers if you pledge and don't honor it. You'll probably get sued though.

Might be lying.

Why do you think reading rainbow is in threat of being cancelled?

Whats 'Reading Rainbow'?
-
No..no..sweet jesus, no, god.. Just when I thought I'd blocked all of that PBS ****, it resurfaces.. I won't be able to sleep at night now.. *holds himself and starts rocking back and forth*

Lavar Burton's show on PBS, for children on learning how to read, and things dealing with reading. He does stuff like read books and go to libraries and other various 'field trip' sorta things. I think he's had it for 20 years or so now.
-
are they still makeing new ones?
-
Geordie hosts it? Wow, he landed on his arse after STNG...
-
Actually, I'm pretty sure Reading Rainbow started before Next Generation. Was around when I was a kid, and that was, Christ, ages ago. STNG was pretty recent, mid-nineties something, right?
-
Nah, NG began back in the late 80's I reckons
-
Still later. I think. Though my memory is rather notoroiously about on par with the local stoners.
-
**** it, let's just go to the pub
-
Agreed.
