- blindhammer, on 01/16/2008, -2/+61Yet nothing is mentioned about Saudi Arabia.
- buzmcg, on 01/16/2008, -9/+41I'm against all capital punishment.
- inactive, on 01/16/2008, -1/+32Did Yoda write this headline?
- pehpsi, on 01/16/2008, -2/+31They should stop stoning, and the U.S. and others should stop frying/injecting people... And most of them believe in God? How does that work?
It's ALL wrong! I'm an atheist, but common sense and morals tell me this. - dumpyhumpy, on 01/16/2008, -9/+34Mother ***** barbaric.
- CesarSolomon, on 01/16/2008, -1/+24Yet nothing is mentioned about USA.
- ianzu, on 01/16/2008, -1/+18The very concept of stoning is not only barbaric, it's cowardly. "Men" who sentence women to die like this for the crime of being raped aren't men at all. They're pussies and cowards.
- inactive, on 01/16/2008, -1/+16Shh... I have investments in that country.
- inactive, on 01/16/2008, -13/+27Iran has a horrific human rights record. Is it better or worse NOW than it was under the USA puppet government of the Shah? I don't know. See Operation Ajax, 1953.
- madm0nk, on 01/16/2008, -2/+16When a criminal convicted is he, stone him you must.
- RuffRidr, on 01/16/2008, -10/+24Does it matter? Move forward, not look backward.
- kooft, on 01/16/2008, -8/+22"Does it matter?"
Sure it matters. ycw not only expressed his disapproval of Iran's human rights record, but was merely indicating that the US could care less what type of inhuman punishment you inflict on people, so long as you behave according to US desires. Iran was well on the path to having a full fledged democracy, until the CIA came along and installed a dictator. This did _not_ help out the human rights situation in the least.
"Move forward, not look backward."
If you don't know where you've been, you won't know when you're walking in circles... - makkaveli19, on 01/16/2008, -0/+14ok not being apologetic for iran and their actions, but saudi's womens rights is just ***** up. in iran a woman can basically do anything that a man can in their lives also they have women in congress and political places. i don't even think its comparable. the main cultural difference is that before the islamic republic a woman could walk around in a bikini in the street and there were bars disco's blah blah.so iran's population is separated between the religious and the free-thinkers.
also iran doesn't do the beheading and suicide bomb thing. it's just the stoning:P - inactive, on 01/16/2008, -1/+15[typical ***** comment about how some of my friends started smoking pot and now they're idiots.]
- stonebear, on 01/16/2008, -6/+19Yeah, Iran really needs to see the light on this capital punishment thing, as do many of the United States and Saudi Arabia. The no usury thing is very enlightened though, they definitely need to keep that part going. The suffering it prevents outweighs that caused by the executions a millionfold.
- Lixnig, on 01/16/2008, -0/+13...or maybe he doesn't support the death penalty?
- Billaeon, on 01/16/2008, -1/+13[typical rebuttal about how your friends were idiots before they started smoking therefore it is not a direct result of the substance] ;-)
- DigDugDigger, on 01/16/2008, -1/+11Comments like this is why I come to Digg. The stories are only a convenience.
- DigDugDigger, on 01/16/2008, -0/+10We teach people that killing is wrong, by killing people. Simple!
- OMGIAMTHEMAN, on 01/16/2008, -8/+18death penalty is death penalty. Are we kidding ourselves by making it less painful? maybe if we always acknowledged how horrible and violent it is and required the judge to actually carry out the execution, then we wouldn't just hand out trips to the happy fun electric chair left and right (I'm from texas).
the "disconnect" is in your imperialist mind. What makes you think you're better? because you numb someone's pain before you execute them? give me a break. if you support any kind of death penalty, you can't talk. - Marijuana, on 01/16/2008, -2/+11heh, tru dat.
- jphicks, on 01/16/2008, -14/+23And lethal injection is being considered as too cruel here in the U.S.. The disconnect between the fundamentalist Islamic culture and western culture seems to be a divide just too great to bridge. Western society may be morally corrupt but stoning, suicide bombers and beheading.....jeez.
- inactive, on 01/16/2008, -1/+10"Not that I'm against stoning..."
Wait, so you're pro-stoning? - inactive, on 01/16/2008, -2/+11Wow thats ***** horrible but America should have no say, they get away with ***** like what they do to the inmates in abu ghuraib and waterboarding and stuff we dont know about. Even Mitt said how he does not want to disclose torture to the people.
Im probably gonna get buried... - nphase, on 01/16/2008, -3/+12Yet nothing is mentioned about Texas.
- TH3W1R3D, on 01/16/2008, -0/+9[Typical comment agreeing with you about how marijuana is not to blame as well as an explanation about how you should be dugg up not down.]
- Fracture98, on 01/16/2008, -2/+10I think you should get life and then be able to volunteer for death-matches.
"Hello, this is Killian. Give me the Justice Department, Entertainment Division." - dumpyhumpy, on 01/16/2008, -4/+12Sheiks on a Plane?
- makkaveli19, on 01/16/2008, -2/+10move forward not backwards, upwards not forward, and always twirling twirling twirling towards freedom
- BenKenobi88, on 01/16/2008, -1/+9[Typical C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!]
- hillkiwi, on 01/16/2008, -1/+8Am I the only one that thinks these people are just a couple hundred years behind us? Didn't we burn people alive for being witches a few hundred years back? I'm not saying it's right, but keep in mind they're just like us in another time.
- DigDugDigger, on 01/16/2008, -2/+9Did somebody say AJAX?
- macbookpromat, on 01/16/2008, -0/+7Now that I think of it, I don't remember dying as being something that happened the last time, so you're right...
- Karmavs, on 01/16/2008, -1/+8It's just a misplaced comma. The title was meant to say "End death by stoning Iran" —
- Halsfield, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6what the hell is wrong with you...
- jmpeagle, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6Iran doesn't deny that it stones people...the only thing they deny is that they have homosexuals
- tuxerware, on 01/16/2008, -9/+15Yeah it's not like.. wait the US does have capital punishment?? What?? They strap people in a chair and run electricity in their bodies till they die? That's ***** sick!
- inactive, on 01/16/2008, -5/+11US has been urged to stop executions too, but seeing as this is an anti-Iran propaganda piece we'll just let that go.
- Onyxblaze, on 01/16/2008, -1/+71. You are a dumbass
2. Lethal injection is NOT painless. The only reason they do leathal injection is so that the people watching don't have to see blood and stuff.
3. Would you rather be killed in a period of almost 30 minutes, not being able to move, yet feeling immense amounts of pain while your friends and family watch, or have a couple rocks hit your head before you are knocked out? Even better would be a bullet in the base of the skull. Sure it is messy, but you won't feel a thing. - abuelos84, on 01/16/2008, -0/+5EXACTLY! That's the Digg Spirit!
You are a fine American, Sir! - Billaeon, on 01/16/2008, -0/+5[typical digg up for the comment.]
- Halsfield, on 01/16/2008, -0/+5honestly, men and women should be treated equally, and if execution is approved by the government of a country, i think women should be executed just like a man would be. However i dont think stoning is a humane way to execute people, even if the people support executions.
- Tyrghast, on 01/16/2008, -1/+6god endorsed capital punishment and mass murder. read the old testament sometime. then skip to the part about homosexuals in the new testament.
- nicksauce, on 01/16/2008, -2/+7The author of this article was later stoned to death for, quote, "questioning the will of Allah".
- Rossoneri22, on 01/16/2008, -7/+12You fail to see the point that the person ends up dead either way. Whether a bunch of chemicals are used or stones, does it really matter? The whole idea of capital punishment is *****.
- SemiSarcastic, on 01/16/2008, -4/+9I think we're all missing the point here: We should all be accepting of other cultures and how they operate. As an avid promoter of multi-cultural understandings it shouldn't be our business to say what they should and shouldn't do. I say if we can still use lethal injection they can continue to stone people, even if we ban the death penalty outright they can still use the method of stoning because we as Westerners shouldn't come off as being intolerant.
- IndigoMoss, on 01/16/2008, -1/+6I've always wondered that myself.
- Lixnig, on 01/16/2008, -3/+8I look forward to an orderly election which will eliminate the need for a violent bloodbath...
- ZenMojo, on 01/16/2008, -1/+6Yeah, uh, lethal injection isn't PAINLESS. It's actually incredibly painful, which is why it was banned in so many states. Actually, lethal injection's probably as painful as stoning.
- ProducedRaw, on 01/16/2008, -0/+5Its like reverse psychology - lead by contradiction!
