A lot of the same people who back Citizen Dion and Taliban Jack not stepping up to the plate regarding an upstanding caring and dedicated teacher who is being abused by a scumbag cult of hate and even vilifying her for having the temerity to complain about what she deserves and much scorn about how she has some nerve going to Sudan and thus deserves what she gets, are up in arms about a Vicious double murderer who admitted to the crime and showed no remorse in the US being punished for breaking US law – come on folks, ya can’t have it both ways.

I would have worded it much better myself but I only followed protocol.

The difference is this: in Smith’s case the objection is to the punishment; that the act for which he is convicted is a crime is unchallenged. In the teacher’s case, the objection is that the act – or omission – should even be a crime in the first place.

I do not agree with the death penalty as in Mr. Smiths case. I also do not agree with our own laws in regards to murder. A sentence of 25 years regardless of how many people you have killed is in my opinion, a farce. I do not agree with punishing anyone for what name they gave a toy. This all being said, I accept these rulings as these are the laws of each land, whether I like them or not. This does not change my opinion though now does it? Freedom of thought, comes with such a heavy price….

The political left never ceases to amaze me.

yeah… i’m down with that.

Well considering this woman was going to the Sudan, you know, a nutcase of a place where there is a genocide occurring and they have a corrupt fundamentalist government, one would think that you would take the time before you got there to ensure that you knew the laws of the land. Ignorance of the law is not a defence.

Now, I think what happened to this lady is laughable. But most fundamentalist states are. But come on, she should have known where she was. Considering where she was and the state of Islamic extremism in the world, the last thing I would do is name a teddy bear after their messiah. Because we are talking about a corrupt despot of a government (if you can even call it that), she should have been even more careful.

But anyone going to another country and killing someone, I assume should know that they are breaking some law.

It is as simple as that, even for a 5 year old.

Only if you believe that governments define what morality is.

If someone believes that capital punishment is an appropriate punishment for double murder, while believing that flogging and jail is an inappropriate punishment for naming a teddy bear, then they are being entirely consistent by opposing one and not the other.

Good parody stageleft, you should write for the onion.!

If you think that is oK fine, but I don’t

In any case, what the h*ll does this have to do with Canada’s government anyway? the woman is british and so far as I know, the government has offered no opinion about it.
