that's interesting, must be a slow day to welcome new guys in?

I'm surprised

no sarcastic

not*

what's the kindness meter?

TGIF

time to get a drink

@InsaneCaterpilla could always open up a civil suit

imprisoning someone isn't going to help, lost money might

yeah, but the taxpayers man

what happens if that person will never be a contributor to society or a net drain?

perhaps

do you believe in capital punishment?

but life sentence is fine?

yeah, because the thing is

I support capital punishment but in certain cases only

the reason why people don't support capital punishment is because of the way its handed out

I have trust in my country's judicial system

but in other country's ones

not so

sure, but what happens if its beyond a doubt

I come from singapore

we're famous for caning people

but nobody questions the process because we're rigourous on it

yes, that's why even in singapore, we don't dish it out regularly

people think we cane everyone or we hang every single drug trafficker we lay our hands on

that's incorrect

oh

yeah, then that's the problem

we hang both genders regardless

the law is blind to gender

I think capital punishment should not be used unless for the most sinister of crimes

when its beyond a doubt

justice has to speak up for the vicitim

example, we had a serial murderer here before

chopped up his victims

into tiny pieces

not a single murder mind you

maybe with a single murder, a lawyer could argue to get your charge dropped down to manslaughter

war is state sanctioned murder

governments have every legal right to declare it

still murder morally

the question is whether justice should be upheld

or morality

yes, but morality and justice goes hand in hand

laws and morality

I'm saying they're linked and they complement one another

here's another problem

what happens if you commit a crime in another country

which has the death penalty

and you committed a crime which calls for it

by that country's laws

of course it does

singapore has hanged as many foreign nationals

as it does locals

yes and no

again, principles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flor_Contemplacion <- here's one of the more famous examples

yeah

we got into hot soup over the canning of that american guy

actually I'm more for the plight of migrant workers here though

you will have people from poorer countries wanting to go to richer countries to work

exploitation isn't restricted to the US

but a crime is a crime

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_P._Fay

we don't do this anymore, usually we try to quietly sweep the matter under the table

but once it gets out to the media...

moral of the story, don't do stupid shit right?

of course

but if you don't know, be respectful right

you're not going to someone else's country and say, shit on someone's car right

good evening gents

so I'm in an empty, new office

in another country

on a sunday

just chilling here

had some dinner delivered to me, but just really bored and really lonely

as in, I've been working for this company, they sent me here to expand the branch's office

basically IT work, outside of office hours

welfare is great, but its lonely atm

think like, you're stuck on a space station, its meant to house like 40+ people, but you're alone

well, I'm thinking of playing some league of legends

also I don't speak malay

not in the middle of KL, outskirts

yes some do, just they're you know

out having fun lol

it IS sunday atm

the only guy I know he's doing gardening atm, 10 to 20 mins by car

but meh, I don't want to intrude

I could go to the nearest mall but I had enough mall crawling

actually feeling abit homesick

I'm heading back on wednesday

been here since last tues

6 hour coach ride back to singapore

pft, its not

here's a fun fact

its about the sametime as flying

there is some truth that intercity transport other than flying makes sense

it takes me like 1 and half hours to get to KLIA, I got to wait an hour at least to get on the plane
