stealing over 1 million should be death

stealing over 1 billion == 2 weeks of sustained torture followed by horrible death..

    Stealing is a crime and should be punishable by law.

    Unfortunately with the amount of crime that goes on these days stealing just seems to be a misdemeanor and the culprits get away with a small fine and a slap on the wrist. Just to go out and do it all over again. The law certainly needs to make the time fit the crime.

    I visited Dubi last year and found they had a zero crime rate, anyone

    caught stealing got the hand that they stole with cut off. Now that's

    a deterrent.

    Are you from one of the islamic countries where stealing can get your hand cut off?

    If you believe this way then maybe you should call the Jihad Recruitment office, they need people like you.
