The rape & murder - yes.

This is evil, and this is how you deal with it as far as i'm concerned.


The rest - hell no. Nobody deserves death for not agreeing with someone, armed robbery or doing/selling drugs.

Exactly, the rape and murder are fair game in my opinion... but everything else is way above and beyond.

Saudi to behead, crucify rapist
Nov 3, 2009

RIYADH - A SAUDI court has ratified the beheading and crucifixion of a young man who raped five children, among them a three-year-old boy left to die in the desert, a newspaper reported on Monday.

An appeal court in Riyadh approved the death sentence handed down in June by a lower court in Hail, where the convicted 22-year-old man carried out his crimes, Okaz newspaper said.

The man was arrested several weeks ago, the paper said, as he tried to seize another youth after offering him a ride home from school.

Saudi Arabia has executed 56 people this year under laws that allow the death penalty for rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking.

In extreme cases, the convict is executed and his body crucified in public. -- AFP

Those are good specs, especially for that price, but I'd never buy a 17" laptop. Kinda defeats the purpose for me: carrying it around smile.

Thats the only thing thats holding me up.  But I cant find any 15's with comparable specs.
