Not sure
Originally posted by Jake EllisonI think that murder is wrong... but I would not suggest that a culture should be forced to think as I do.

Originally posted by lepomisForcing someone to think as you do is entirely different from telling them it is absolutly fine for them to murder. What do you think that Iraqi girl would have said? Why did she go to the Police four times begging for help before she was killed? The police involved are now under reveiw, they potentially could face criminal charges. Within your contry why is so uncomfortable to expect people to obey the law?

'Banaz was taken to a relative's house in Sheffield where she was locked up for two weeks and beaten.'
'They were convicted at the Old Bailey of killing Banaz and burying her body in a suitcase in the garden of a house in Birmingham.'
'"My life went away when Banaz died," he [her boyfriend] said. "The only thing which was keeping me going was the moment to see justice being done for Banaz. I am just heartbroken and I am falling apart day after day."'
Surly anyone with any human emotions at all could not possible sympathise with the people who killed her? How could there be a negative reaction to their conviction of murder? They beat someone for two weeks, and killed her. They put her body in a suitcase. How 'uncomfortable' does that make you feel?

Is this your "white male guilt"
Racists treat people who are from a different race differently.
You would charge a white male for killing a white female.
It's the same.
You know what yo think, then post it don't bother posting what you think we will think is right. the publics' reaction dose not determin wether you are right to think what you think or don't think.

are you going to stop spouting conjecture and actually state a case where this has happened?
amnesty for law breaking mexicans vs. 5 years waits for euro immigrants
3rd year freshman in college on a federal minority scholarship vs. must perform to keep mine
I am sure if I spent some time on google I could go on forever.
