Poland torpedoes EU Day Against Death Penalty
05.09.2007
Poland was the only EU country which did not support a proposal by the European Commission to establish a European Day Against the Death Penalty. The Polish representation argued there was no need for such a day because all EU countries had abolished capital punishment. Warsaw claims that Europe needs a day devoted to the protection of life in general, which would condemn abortion, euthanasia as well as the death penalty.
“Warsaw claims that Europe needs a day devoted to the protection of life in general, which would condemn abortion, euthanasia as well as the death penalty.”
While I support the death penalty, here is a position I can respect.
God bless Poland!
LOL! Gotta give props to Poland for sticking it to the EU’s hypocrisy.
Too bad it’s so damn cold in Poland or I’d consider moving there. I know the women there might warm things up a bit, but when it comes to cold weather I’m just a unashamed wuss.
Me too. It's a perfectly consistent position that must be really pissing off their neighbors who support the killing of the innocent, but not the guilty.
“support the killing of the innocent, but not the guilty.”
Great point. How do they rationalize that?
I agree with you.
This was not a day against the Death Penalty. This was a day to look down their noses at their American cousins. Smug superiority is all Europe cares about.
That’s because the baseless feeling of smug superiority is all the Western Europeans have left. They are increasingly irrelevant in world affairs.
Just too damn logical and consistent for the socialists in Brussels. I agree with you. I can respect this position.
When all you have is lemons, you make lemonade. If you don’t even have any lemons, you sneer that lemonade is a pedestrian beverage enjoyed by unsophisticated people.
Hooray for the Poles!
Hmm. Sounds like an excellent day to schedule a few executions.
We can at least drink their beer as a token of appreciation.
Hypocrites: They don’t support Life (all but the Catholic Countries such as Italy) have abortion on Demand; and allow Euthenasia for the elderly and the ill! HYPOCRITES: ALL (This should be Europe’s motto: “Kill the babies; save the whales, save the criminals; Kill the ill!”)
