Soon as I saw this thread I just knew it would be a highly emotive issue... 70 posts in a single day speaks for itself.

I'll be straight - I'm also against capital punishment. However I strongly favour corporal punishment, which was law for certain offences in WA including most sex crimes, up to sometime in the mid 80's, upon which all corporal punishment penalties were repealed.

I also believe that as long as just one convicted terrorist is set free or given anything less than the death penalty in the same countries that execute drug traffickers then perhaps there is a legitimate call for criticism of these countries' laws.
