loads to blog about now already!
you all know about the hanging of this australian guy for drug trafficking in singapore right,
well now
this website is doing this to us:
Putfile Says Goodbye To SingaporeAt dawn on December 2nd 2005, Singapore hanged a citizen of Australia, despite a plea for clemency from the United Nations. Whilst Putfile is not a human rights campaigning organization, we believe that if a country must have the death penalty, there is no need for it be barbaric. It is enough of a punishment, and a deterrent, to take someone's life in a painless manner, without having to be barbaric about it. Putfile prefers to not continue to provide our free uploading service to a country that executes prisoners by hanging, a method of execution which can take up to six minutes to painfully execute the victim.
For this reason, we are at this time terminating all service to users from Singapore. We shall be happy to restore service following any positive move from the government of Singapore towards abolition of hanging as an execution method.
Goodbye Singapore,
Putfile.
--think its kinda unfair of them to do this to us?
hmms but anyway i don't even use putfile la yeah, haha (x
hanging is a really horrible way to die, i agree, but aren't all forms of dying terrible?
imposing a strict penalty is a way to deter people from trafficking drugs into singapore right, if it was just a few years of jail time people would not take it seriously and continue transporting drugs here.
but hmm, growing up in singapore, you're already used to the idea that death penalty=hanging, and its like you're already so xi2 guan4 with singapore being a strict country that you don't even view it as a strict country.
after this incident you get to see things from another viewpoint?
i always thought that other countries also impose the death penalty on its citizens and stuff. hmmms.
right, stuff for you all to think about!
--hmms. i need my printer back!
stupid printer is so rubbish.
bleah.
blogger still not fixing that time and date stuff.
