I would take offensive to calling such actions primitive. You can use twitter and support the stoning of people to death for adultery. We all know this by now. There is no contradiction here. (Perhaps in a future democratic Egypt they will show the stonings on youtube?)

Needless to say, I donīt trust this poll.

Anyway, Rockingham tell me what you preferred solution to the Egyptian situation is considering now that you have noted that donīt hold significantly advanced (whatever that means) opinions to have a democracy (who does really?).

You know, after reading Discipline and Punish, I really have to question the assumption that corporal punishment (public stoning, chopping hands off, etc.) is really more "barbaric" and "primitive" than the penal system.  It actually is better in many ways.

This is also a good point.

It only uses a few limited sources and it is from Spiked! But most certainly worth a read.
