I'm like that with the Ford/Holden debate. I keep quiet till someone drops their preference, then I'll back the other camp.Quote:

Once he is sorted how do we go about correcting the wrong doings against the victim who has a life sentence?
I like the eye for an eye theory but that is not socially acceptable neither is giving a lobotomy in place of capital punishment in more severe cases. Be spending less than $100k a year on them but frees up a prison bed
What happens for the victim under the current system?
An eye for an eye doesn't help the first to lose one

Steady on big fellah. Such outwardly expressions should be bathed in candle light and softened by a liberal application of wine.Quote:
