What do you mean by troll?


The uk law system is based on the bible in some respects and i was saying that ,in there it says thou shalt not kill. That is all. I have my views you have yours. I live my life well. I dont steal and dont hurt any one im helpfull to others. I dont need a bible to help me do that.

What about in the war when a mum and baby get shot by one of our service men..... is that murder?

Trollin is an art form where you argue for the sake of arguing. The idea is to piss everyone off, regardless of what your own opinion is.

Sounds like you need to grow up!

The bible, like the law, states that people should not kill. It then clarifies that statement by saying that should some one actually break that law they should die, but if by accident (manslaughter) there's a place (prison or otherwise) for them.

And the provocative question..........

Well that's also answered by the same reference.

Let's not take this off topic when we've done so well

ex0 was just telling us what a troll was, although having said that, now I've quoted I can see he included a 4chan picture and work have 4chan on lock down. Not somewhere they want me frittering my working hours away.

Now now Nikki, no need for that, he was only explaining what a troll is?

Oh,lol, I missunderstood the post....apologies

I think the Death Penalty for must crimes was abolished around 1969 with last hangings taking place in 1964. The Death Penalty was totally abolished in 1998. This was for crimes like arson in a naval dockyard, mutiny on the high seas, treason etc.

It's now a condition of joining the EU that a state must not have Capital Punishment.

Informative, thanks.

Some people who have been convicted of murder but later found innocent since the last hangings in 1964:

Stefan Kiszko,
Barry George,
Hugh Callaghan, Patrick Joseph Hill, Gerard Hunter, Richard McIlkenny, William Power and John Walker [The Birmingham Six],
Paul Michael Hill, Gerard "Gerry" Conlon, Patrick "Paddy" Armstrong, Carole Richardson [The Guildford Four],
Judith Theresa Ward,
Winston Silcott,
Stephen Downing,

There are quite a few more. All would have been murdered by the British government if we still had capital punishment.

And how long did it take you to google that lot,lol

I don't disagree that it would be a bad injustice to get the wrong person. However I still agree with the death penalty!

Maybe it could work as a better deterrent than an actual punishment?

But how can it be a deterrent without actually doing it?

Does it matter if I googled it or did it off the top of my head? The facts remain that these people all would have been killed by the State if we still had hanging.
