風蕭蕭：東郭先生子孫遍全球

MRI大腦掃描證實，那些殺人不傻眼的兇犯，是大腦缺陷所致。由於他們的大腦中負責同情感和負罪感區域的腦細胞少，無法像正常人那樣理性思維。相反，在他們的大腦中，形成反人類的區域，該區域的腦細胞，使這些人能夠從給他人造成痛苦來享受愉悅，令他們積極尋找機會傷害他人。 那些反對死刑的人，其實也是腦病，通過支持他人傷害他人來享受喜悅。這種人很多。 看過2012年12月22日的報道，《111個國家支持暫緩使用死刑中美朝等41國反對》：周四，在聯大討論人權問題的主旨會議上，有創紀錄的111個國家投票支持暫緩使用死刑。 雖然這次投票在法律上不具備約束力，但是人權活動分子說，每兩年舉行一次的表決，是向那些依然保留死刑的國家發出的強烈信號，這些數量在逐步減少的國家中包括中國、伊朗和美國。 這次對暫緩使用死刑投贊成票的國家有111個，比2010年增加了4個。 41個投反對票的國家包括美國、中國、日本、印度、伊朗、朝鮮和沙特。有34個國家投了棄權票。 歐洲國家一直強烈敦促各國投票支持暫緩使用死刑。但是挪威常駐聯合國代表蓋爾·彼得森說，支持結束死刑的國家的數量在不斷增加，這顯示出，“不再是西方國家占據主導地位。這已經成為一場全球性運動”。 彼得森對本社記者說：“這次投票的重要性在於，它向整個國際社會發出了一個非常強烈的信息。聯大是一個各國都派駐代表的地方，在那裡絕大多數國家都對暫緩使用死刑投了贊成票。” 據人權組織說，目前約有150個國家暫緩使用或徹底取締了死刑。據報道，2011年只有21個國家執行了死刑。但是人權組織說那些仍然保留死刑的國家態度頑固不化。 這種愚昧，竟然到聯合國上演。不僅令人想起中國典故，東郭先生把“兼愛”施於惡狼身上，因而險遭厄運。 所以我說，東郭先生子孫遍全球。
Record 111 countries vote against death penalty at UN

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/12/20/record-111-countries-vote-against-death-penalty-at-un/ A record 111 countries voted Thursday for a moratorium on capital punishment at a keynote UN General Assembly human rights meeting. Although not legally binding, campaigners say the vote held every two years sends a strong signal to the slowly shrinking number of nations — including China, Iran and the United States — that still execute prisoners. There were 111 votes in favor of a moratorium, four more than in 2010. Among the 41 countries that voted against the moratium were the United States, China, Japan, India, Iran, North Korea and Saudi Arabia. Thirty-four countries abstained. European nations have pressed hard for votes backing a moratorium. But Norway’s ambassador Geir Pedersen said the growing numbers backing an end to capital punishment show “this is no longer dominated by western countries. This is a global campaign.” “The importance of the vote is that it sends a very strong message to the international community across the board,” Pedersen told AFP. “The General Assembly is the one place where all nations are represented and you have a strong majority in favor of a moratorium.” “There is a global trend toward fewer countries executing people and for us, it is an important issue of principle,” the ambassador added. Pedersen said that when he raises objections to the death penalty in bilateral talks with countries that impose capital punishment, “we have the feeling that they are on the defensive.” About 150 countries now have a moratorium or an outright ban on capital punishment. Just 21 nations were reported to have carried out executions in 2011, according to rights groups. But the rights groups said the countries that still carry out executions remain hardcore. China executes thousands of prisoners a year, rights groups say, and Iran put to death more than 650 people in 2011, making it the highest per capita executioner. Some countries defended maintaining their capital punishment at a UN committee meeting last month where 110 countries voted for a moratorium. Japan said it had to keep the possibility of hanging prisoners because “heinous” crimes are still being committed. Thursday’s vote was held a day after UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay called on Iraq to move toward abolishing the death penalty. Iraq executed 70 people in the first six months of this year, compared to 67 for the whole of 2011, and 18 in 2010, according to the UN mission in the country. “The number of executions so far in 2012, and the manner in which they have been carried out in large batches, is extremely dangerous, cannot be justified, and risks seriously undermining the partial and tentative progress on rule of law in Iraq,” Pillay said. A world congress against the death penalty is to be held in Madrid in June. 11 Comments TheGuru ? 2 days ago After a while, you know something is wrong when you look around the room and see that you're only standing with North Korea, China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia on a civil rights issue. shoes4industry ? 2 days ago The US deserves all the bad things, including mass killings, that befall us for being on the wrong side of humanity. DriveBy ? 2 days ago I feel some lives need to be terminated for the greater good of society - but then you give the authority to kill to states like Texas who kill because they like killing, and then the death penalty becomes a force for the greater evil rather than a force for the greater good. TheGuru DriveBy ? 2 days ago Funny that you had to single out Texas. Did you know in his five year tenure as Governor, George W. Bush had 152 prisoners executed. So I guess that your biggest problem with the Death Penalty is that it boils down to a single individual (the state governor) to order that the sentence be carried out. DriveBy TheGuru ? 2 days ago Yeah, I singled out Texas precisely because Texas is a good example of what's wrong with the death penalty. Texas doesn't care if someone has been declared mentally unfit for execution, or if the guilt of the person is still in doubt despite sentencing - it just wants to kill, kill, kill - just like Jesus would have wanted it to (the Bible is allegorical - it says what you want it to say). sociosam ? 2 days ago What I find disturbing is that in the U.S., those who most distrust our government are those most in favor of giving that government to legal authority to kill its citizens. belphegor69 ? 2 days ago The death penalty is barbaric and backwards and it has been shown time and again that it is no detriment to criminal behavior. Plus if someone is a truly monstrous and heinous piece of human garbage, then making him live a life in near total solitary confinement (paid for by monies otherwise spent on pointless foreign wars) is a more apt and cruel punishment. Dave ? 2 days ago More evidence that the U.N. is trying to take over 'Murika! DougI ? a day ago So, are we a member of the Axis of Evil yet? jihadjohnny ? 2 days ago All the countries that execute people voted no. And the list is about as strange as it gets. |
