Obviously I'm aware of whom you'd like "them" to mean since it gives you another reason to puff up your "ag shame" nonsense and bitch about how the whiteys hate you. Seriously - grow up. The whole "emo" scene is so last year.
If four white men dragged a black man out of his bed, tied him to a car and set him alight - there would be NO DIFFERENCE. The sick bastards should be put to death. And then the same concept applies: "oxygen thieves, the lot of them."
And neither does it matter if it were four white guys doing that to a white guy or four black guys doing that to a black guy - crime is crime.
I don't believe criminals should have a place in this country - no one is above the law and - in all honestly - I'm quite fond of the Chinese method for dealing with convicted criminals.
Also, if it was the phrase "tribal in-fighting" which Vitowe used that had you cry racism, then how would you describe a group of savages setting a man on fire? Civilised?
So tax-evaders deserve the death penatly? And you have the NERVE to criticise Sharia law?
Everyone knows who "them" is. Just turn on the news.

What? Are you reading the same text as I am or have I gone bonkers?
When the hell have I criticised Sharia law? You seem to be confusing me with someone else.
And no - I'm more than willing to separate serious crimes from trivial crimes. For example - setting a living person on fire is just a fraction more serious to, oh, I dunno - worthless pieces of paper.
HOWEVER, if say some government official or company CEO or employee or whatever steals money from the poor and impoverished and it causes untold deaths and suffering, then - guess what - I'm all for the death penalty.
Unfortunately this is what is known as derailing.
You whined about racism, now we're crying about methods of punishment and you seem to be confusing me with someone else. Let's get back on track, shall we?

Err hmmm...how many of "us" hijack, rape, butcher etc...or is it mostly "them"... I hope "they" all..
Yes lets. Such as the post above you. That guys seems to leave no room for error as to who 'them' is. You surely can't disagree?
i beg to differ. i did not interpret his post as 'kill all the blacks' which is want you want to hear. everyone is upset with what happened to that poor man. even with your racial bickering - i would be horrified if you were my neighbour and had to go through with a gruesome death like that. skin colour my ass.
Syph0n, have you had any personal experience of crime?
Have you or anyone in your immediate family been mugged, burgled, hijacked, raped, assaulted, or been in an armed robbery? Anyone killed?

Wow... you have no sense of satire or humour, do you?
Allow me to define satire:
Source: Princeton WordNet
Now, let us analyse the following:
If you're not a paranoid insecure egomaniac, you'd notice that this is exactly that - wit used to convey scorn. Please don't force me to define scorn for you, because then I shall cry and lose all hope of a better future.
Lord Anubis has - quite brilliantly - used your paranoia against you. A non-racially-minded genius would read it as "us" being the innocent law-abiding civilians and "them" as the direct opposite - criminals.
However, I'm quite sure Lord Anubis was - and is - well aware of how you'd read it and did so to... well... humiliate you by using your stereotypical racial agenda against you.
In fact, I applaud you, Lord Anubis. In one moment of pure wit he's proved a point I wouldn't be able to convey if I spent all evening chatting to you - that you will always read the worst into everything.
That's all there is to it, I'm afraid.
Yes, actually. I was robbed at knifepoint. Doesn't mean I lose all sense.

Wow... Excellent... and with that any respect I may have had for you has gone up in smoke. Good night.

Syph0n, I think you got the wrong end of the stick here... or made the wrong end of the stick. I didn't take it to mean skin colour either. This whole thread was referring to me about criminals, and they come in all shapes, sizes and colours. I think your rant was misdirected.
Purely as a matter of statistical interest, what race was the guy who held you at knifepoint. Was it one of those that you know as 'them'?

Wish i could get out....
Is this honestly what our society has become...? I mean seriously..WTF!
TIA.
If you are in my yard an my gate is closed I will shoot to kill you.
If you are in my house I will shoot to kill you.
If you point a gun at me I will shoot to kill you.
If you take something from me that does not belong to you I will shoot to make sure you will never be able to run again.
I doubt if I will move to another country till things get a lot worse, (looks like Zim 8-10 years ago).
Yeah I might be a fool but I really do love my country and I still believe we cn turn it around.
