Thread: Couldn't believe my ears today...

    Couldn't believe my ears today...

    when I heard this.

    That's right, a murder sentence was reduced because "cultural factors" were not taken into account!

    What sort of country is this becoming? - view external link

    The country that Mook wants.

    He'll be on in a minute to tell us that anybody who commits murder should be locked up regardless of race, colour, blah blah blah

    As far as I'm concerned it was wrong to reduce the sentence on 'cultural grounds', it's not like they'd just gotten off the plane. Not the country that I want at all, it's farcical.

    Apologies AJ that this doesn't fit in with your agenda.

    It shouldn't matter whether they had just got off the plane or not - being from a certain part of the world should have no bearing on the sentence, full stop.

    Fair point, I meant you could maybe see the logic in it if they'd only been here 5 minutes but as it is, there is no logic at all.

    Seems to be a growing number of Tims on here showing intolerance towards other cultures, especially ones immigrating to Britain.

    The sheer hypocrisy of it is, if nothing else, amusing.

    If anything, it demonstrates that these religions stuck in the Dark Ages need to be treated with the contempt they deserve (not the people, the religions). I include the Roman Catholic Church, which is one of the most diabolical institutions to exist in the world today.

    The sooner we discard all this cr@p and learn that morality should come from human decency, the better.

    Befor you all go a bit daily mail, the minimum term was reduced and I would hardly say it was a massive reduction.

    Whats this story got to do with religion ? and whatever you have against the catholic church which I cant see anything listed in this story you could quite easily have the same against the british states history over the years or any countrys governments over the years

    If they murderers were cultural background of the Orange Order they would have got their sentences increased.
