![]() I still dont understand those people who say (mostly swedes) that Sweden does not have life in prison, that its only 12 years. Sweden do have life in prison sentences, and there are several that are serving these penelties as we speak. But its never talked about here in this country so most people dont know about it. ![]() I agree, jail but not death as i dont belive in death penelty. |

Behave yourself ItalianGuy.
And SilverPhoenix, many things give a government the right to punish its citizens. It's part of the social contract, whereby one agrees that in exchange for giving up some freedoms to a governing body, they will enjoy the security and other benefits provided by that body. If they accept this contract (an automatic thing when a person chooses to live in any country) but fail to abide by the laws of that country, then they accept the fact that they will be punished for those transgressions. As far as the death penalty goes, that's a whole other kettle of fish and I will stay away from it in this thread (there is another discussing that issue anyway) beyond saying that I am a strong supporter of it. |
