As I was browsing through one of my favorite websites....shout out to CNN.com!.....I came across this oh-so-very interesting article:
Pakistan court orders men's ears, noses hacked off
You can find the story here: http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/12/22/pakistan.harsh.justice/index.html
Call it harsh.
Call it cruel.
I say: Freaking finally someone has the right idea!
If you were too lazy to check up on the link posted above, here's the story in a nutshell:
A Pakistani guy, angry that his marriage proposal was refused by a young lady and her family, tried to strangle her with a wire as she was walking home. As if that wasn't enough, he cut off her nose and ears. Now, a court has ruled that he should have his nose and ears cut off as punishment.
I hope they follow through with that punishment.
For too long sociopaths and criminals have been pampered by the justice system. With the option of pleading insanity, and rehabilitation programs that more often than not fail miserably to make any kind of significant change, justice is not being served.
Maybe Pakistan is doing something right....

Ok, I'm still shocked about the crime itself. Who thinks of that? Were they seriously like, 'hey dude, let's go strangle that chick that dissed me... and they we'll keep her ears an nose as souvenirs!' And the friends and cousins were all like, 'Oooh, I wanna go!'.
What the heck? How does this idea even pop up???
I think the Pakistani system got it right. Except for the fact that the article finishes off with a note of uncertainty about whether or not they'll go through with it...
Oh, and it has not escaped my attention that you just cited CNN.com as one of your favorite websites. You are SUCH A NERD!!!
