Football (soccer) fans will probably already know that there was an Arnold Schwarzenegger stadium in Graz, Austria. However, it seems that people there were so appalled at him giving the go ahead for the recent execution in California that they've decided to rename the stadium Laughing Laughing Laughing It seems that Arnie's home town has disowned him. Good for them! Laughing

First of all, I'm opposed to the death penalty because the the justice system can never be 100% accurate all the time. There will always be miscarriages of justice. The guy maintained he was innocent. Maybe it was true maybe he was lying, I don't know.

However, what made this particular case so special was that this guy preached against gang violence and seeing as he was a founding member of the Crips, he had the potential to influence current and potential gang members. Even if he only got through to 5 out of every 100 people who heard his message, that would still be 5 less dangerous criminals on the streets.

The sensible option would have been to grant clemency so that this guy could continue spreading his anti-gang message, but Arnie knew it might be unpopular so, like Pontius Pilate, he washed his hands of the affair. It was an act of cowardice and that's why I congratulate the citizens of Graz for disowning him.

Sorry for you, I support the death penalty. If killers get away with murder and the only punishment is having bubba banging them in the ass in jail. Sorry but that's just not enough.

Some one lost a loved one because some one else killed them. It's easy to take the high road and be a liberal on the matter. But I'm not Give me the gun and I'll kill all the death row pieces of crap.

This debate could continue for a very long time. I am not here to debate this issue with you or anyone else. I don't think a porn site forum is the place for your bad on Arnold post. Just letting you know that there are lots of people that feel the opposite from you.
Now get to posting porn and quit this stupid political debate BS Rolling Eyes

This is what it says next to General Chat:

"Discuss anything you want: musik, TV, cars, movies, games, sex, books, news, politics, hardware, love, funny stuff, jokes, pics, videos etc. Feel free to post links, pics or just talk. Chat with everyone about everything."

I found it amusing that they were going to rename the stadium which is why I made my original post. This particular death penalty case was exceptional and I was focusing on the exceptional circumstances surrounding this case. Therefore, the pertinent question from this case isn't whether or not countries should have the death penalty, it's whether or not the desire for vengeance should be given precedence ahead of the greater public good.

By executing that man, the world has lost an influential campaigner against gang-violence and it hasn't really gained anything except:

1) a satiated lust for blood
2) another dead body
3) another bereaved family.

As I said, I didn't intend to discuss the death penalty in general but if you take the idea of "an eye for an eye" to it's logical conclusion then a judge who executes an innocent man should be killed too. So, the concept is irrational.

Ok, I'll get off my soap-box now Laughing and if anyone doesn't like my posts then just click on another link, problem solved. Wink

Cheers, Dionysus.
It was a tough call no matter how you slice it, and Arnold had an opportunity to push civilization ahead a tiny bit.
Politics as usual.
And, if we can't voice these opinions HERE, of all places, then where?
Happy New Year, all.

But just WHO imposed the death penalty in the first place?....was this not done years ago and Arnie had to decide yes/no.? I'm sure he was happy making films when this man went to trial

Actually, when the Austrians started raising hell about it, Arnold demanded that his name be removed from the stadium and that the city cease to use his name to promote tourism. He also returned the city's highest reward of a ring he has had for many years. The city has asked him to reconsider. Hmmm.

Yeah I heard that version of events recently but, to be honest, it sounds like bullshit. It sounds like Arnie trying to save face. I mean it's not as if people go on holiday to Austria because of Arnie and if he did return any awards given to him by the city it was probably after they decided to take his name off the stadium. Arnie's version of events just doesn't sound plausible. He's trying to say that he disowned Graz rather than Graz disowning him. If you believe that you'll believe anything.
