And a Happy New Year to you and yours as well.

Here's another one to jot down:

Stupidity is a Capital Offense.

It frequently is. Only in prosperous affluent countries, you can get away with many stupidities.

Darwin was right.

I wasn't buying this story and that was before I noticed that it was an AFP creation.

I recall when the movie House of Dark Shadows came out, a kid tried to imitate the fake hanging that the young boy in the film did.

The kid got it wrong and hung himself by accident.

The director of the film too lots of heat because of it.

[ShadowDancer]

Wow, that has to be one of the dumbest analogies I have ever read.

Maybe Saddam's hanging will trigger a wave of copy cat hangings in the entire muslim world. They are going to have to make sure the kids know it's an adult only game.

one less Muslim, to worry about....

Information without context is a recipe for disaster.

If you want to blame our culture for their unfortunate lack of parenting; then have at it.

"Commentators and the media across Europe had expressed shock and unease Sunday at graphic television pictures showing the last moments of Hussein just before his execution."

Then why did they keep showing them repeatedly over and over? Does Iraq control all of Europes TV broadcasting stations? And just what was so "shocking" about Saddams hanging? I see much worse on TV action shows every day.

[EndWelfareToday]

Don't try this at home kids !

Better yet... Don't watch the hanging. It's not Hollywood.

[thinking]

You want us to waste a prayer on a Muslim...get real!!!

Hey Bevis, stand on that chair, now put that electric cord around your neck, now kick the chair out of the way, .....

[nonliberal]

Yeah. I know.

Re #33

I think the requisite information is all in the article. If you are not happy with it, bring your complaints to AFP. Who knows? Some lawyer will squeeze out tidy sum of settlement money for you by slapping lawsuit against AFP.

A child you say...well have you not seen the terrorist training films where the "children" are being trained to KILL....YOU
