    You've got to realise that religion in NI is such a big deal that to this day it's so far backwards compared to the rest of the UK (and much of the West in general) that abortion still isn't legal even for victims of rape. That's the kind of zealotry you're talking about in NI.

    As an Englishman who lives in Northern Ireland this is true, to the point that on the equal opportunities sections of job application forms (or any kind of form that has equal ops attached really) the religion section literally reads catholic, protestant, other (literally is being used correctly here they are actually the only 3 options, I don't feel I can stress that enough). That's all they care about and it does pervade everything. The local elections recently are a fine example. For the most part people vote by their religion, it really is shocking how backwards they are in that respect. Every year in July when the orange men do their (intentionally antagonistic) marches half the businesses in town close down for a few days because it's just not worth the hassle. The funny part is when you see the dole scum who are all pro republic (they'd never dream of moving over the border though, oh no) living of benefits while saying they want to be united Ireland without realising in Ireland they'd get jack shit and might have to get off their big fat self righteous arses and get a fucking job which is the scariest thought of all to them! They even still have vigilante IRA wannabe gangs going around knee capping drug dealers and a good section of the people think it's a good thing! Fucking savages some of them.

    Sorry, went off on a bit of a tangent there, rant over.

    It seems like a really weird bomb - if we assume middle eastern terrorists. They would be in Paris with a bomb, but choose to go through all the airport security and the risks associated with it just to blow up a plane filled with mostly Egyptians in Egyptian airspace?

    Yeah, why not? First, bringing down an airliner means a lot more publicity than just exploding a bomb in a restaurant somewhere. Second, a bomb that kills at most one or two people in a restaurant kills 100+ people when exploded in an airplane because most or all victims won't die from the blast but from, you know, flying in an airplane that's crashing.

    Yeah but if you're going to blow up a plane wouldn't you want to do it over land, preferably over a city or something (like the one it just left) where lots of people are likely to see, rather than over some bit of ocean miles and miles away from anything.

    Yeah, if you have any control over where exactly the bomb goes off. You seem to be assuming that the terrorist was onboard the plane, on a suicide mission. Which seems pretty unlikely to me.

    You must have some kind of control. Either a timer, you know the plane takes off at whatever time so set it to go off x minutes after that or a command detonated thing, it's not like that is unheard of both intentional and unwittingly. I don't think bombs are built to just explode randomly.

    I'm pretty sure 'retires' 'snuff' 'take care of' etc are not legally recognised terms. All of those at least are euphemisms for the same thing, murder. You should look up euphemism yourself, you don't seem completely clear on the concept.

    You're applying modern laws and beliefs to an ancient time in very different cultures, which is just silly.

    Nope I'm trying to say you shouldn't fuck kids. Just because something used to be allowed or whatever doesn't make it right. I get that back then life expectancy wasn't what it is now and child birth was harder, child mortality was way higher etc. I can see the logic in 12+ old enough to bleed old enough to breed and all that, but there is literally no point in fucking a nine year old other than getting your rocks off. We as a species have gone through a lot since then and no modern civilization allows it or anything close unless they're deeply religious and insist on not changing anything ever. If it was good enough 2000 years ago it's good enough today. I'm sorry but no, it isn't.

    Atheists were pedophiles for thousands of years and still are by far and large. More recently, Bill Clinton was part of an underage sex club. And sex slavery is still active in many muslim countries. Pedophilia is natural and to be promoted in liberal society. Look at Europe. They love it.

    Ummm, as a European, nope. Very much nope. Where the fuck do you get that it's promoted? Because it most certainly is not.

    I'm not a Muslim, nor do I feel particularly warm and fuzzy feelings for them, but the while pedophile thing is entirely unfair. Given that Muhammad lived in a society where it was entirely normal to marry pre pubescent children. If anything, Muhammed set an extremely liberal precedent in this regard, in that he waited 3 years until she was 9 before consummating it, which was not standard custom of the time.

    None of that makes him not a pedo. Just because it was accepted then doesn't mean it should be accepted as a thing that wasn't bad now. He put off fucking a nine year old. How very noble....

    There are other possibilities: a suicide, thrust reverser suddenly opening, rudder torn off...

    Anything like that though and you'd think they'd be able to track the plane as it descended. The pilots would be able to get out an 'oh fuck' etc. From what I gather it just sorta disappeared from 40 odd thousand feet. I think we must follow logic and conclude...aliens.

    At cruising altitude, a plane is hard to bring down. You generally need an air to air missile, or a bomb. Most Egyptian bombings happen leaving, not entering, because it's easier to breach security in Cairo than Paris. So if it is a bomb, it would be alarming that they were so successful. There would be almost nowhere that would be safe.

    Regardless of the cause, increased airport security and fresh offensive on encryption in coming in 5..4..3..

    Your argument is simply stupid given the components of a lethal cocktail. The two first injections are given exactly for the opposite purpose you claim. Induce a paralysis state and decontract the subject sentenced to death. This is so, because the third injection is the actual lethal one and is actually very painful inducing a cardiac arrest.

    I never understood why not give them a big ol' dose of smack? I'm sure they have plenty of heroin in evidence rooms all over. They know what the lethal dosage is and can ensure they give double whatever it is. Shoot them up and send them on their way.

    I can't believe people think like you. Well i can but i just don't understand how they haven't killed themselves already from other stupid and illogical thinking.

    Murdering someone is the unjustified taking of their life. An execution or even self defense killing only shares the taking of life portion. In other words the difference between an execution and murder is whether or not it was justified. It certainly does not turn executioners into murderers.

    And before you argue about justify, the state determines that. With a big and powerful government, you don't get that ability to define justified. You only get the ability to protest their definitions.

    You can put whatever terms to it you want. Execution and murder are two different things, evidenced by the fact they came up with different names for them but what they both share in common is the intentional taking of another persons life. The executioner isn't a murderer but they are most definitely killers regardless of who's authorisation or justification they have.
