The Fine Gael thread

[Hardy]

To paraphrase Con Houlihan, a man who can dangle a modifier is capable of anything.

So you've encountered these people, they bother you but you just hope it goes away without doing anything about it.

Anyone caught dealing heroin gets executed. How about that for starters?
Seems to work as a deterrent in other countries.

Blue shirt comeback begins.

The numbers show a FG/FF coalition to form the next government. There doesn't see to be any other way for a majority.

Will be very interesting to see them finally have to work together.

[Maguire01]

There's a long way to go yet. A lot can change in the next 4 or 5 months. And look at the polls in the UK.

First of all well done on actually making a point. Now that you have, in which countrys is the death penalty a deterrent?

The more that comes out about this govt the more you think it's not all down to incompetence. The latest being the IBRC/Siteserve inquiry. Catherine Murphy eventually shamed Noonan into setting up an inquiry. To say he and the govt wanted this to go away is an understatement.

An inquiry was set up. First judge resigned for personal reasons. 2nd Judge tells us he can't investigate as he has no powers. The AG will get most of heat for this and maybe some of it is warranted but this inquiry was set up to fail. Govt would prefer us to believe that this it's down to incompetence. They have the perfect tool in charge to make it look like that. To think satisfaction levels for this govt are at an all time high shows that people really do not care.

Listen sweetheart, you asked for a solution and I gave you one. How about discussing it's merits unless by your lack of response you agree with me.

Sweetheart? I know I'll regret engaging with you in time but you're irresistible at the minute.

From what I've read, your solution is groundless. Imposing the death penalty for drug crime doesn't seem to be a deterrent as you've pointed out.

Now I asked you to tell me what countries you're referring to but you hit me with the sweetheart line so you possibly have a point, if you'd only make it properly. So not for the first time I'll repeat the question; in which countries is the death penalty a deterrent..........big boy?

No problem toots

Have a look under the drug trafficking header. If that isn't a deterrent tell me what is.

You'd have the place cleaned up in no time.

[muppet]

Afghanistan produces 90% of the world's heroin and is the first country on the list that executes traffickers.

SO much for 'cleaned up in no time'.

I think this might qualify for the Darwin thread.

How would it qualify?

They mustn't do a good enforcement job with all the other distractions.

Maybe you've heard of alphabetical order

[Maguire01]

So basically no evidence can be shown to indicate that capital punishment is effective.

Far from it.

The evidence has shown that capital punishment has been completely and utterly useless in the prevention of drug trafficking. Funnier still, is that the provider of that evidence appears to think it proved the opposite.
