If Saddam was not hanged the boy would be alive.

That's why the elders should set good examples to children. Children copy what they see from adults.

Killing is really, really barbaric way of dealing with your enemies.

 

This is very disturbing news

What have the media and political circus to say about this!

 

You really really can't be drawing that conclusion as a reason not to have hung saddam.

I don't agree with the death penalty myself, but seriously - wake up.

 

Sorry but I have to say that is very poor logic if you believe that. No one here knows of the boy's or the parent's mental and psychological conditions.
You only know what the article and what the people mention in the article claim.

I would also like to add most children would never ever even do such a thing as that child. My Proof: How many reports do you hear besides this one incident, even though with a very high probability that thousands and millions of children around the world saw the same thing?

 

Yeah. He would've just killed himself after watching something else on TV.

 

...and if a frog had wings, he woundn't bump his ass.

OMGWTF GEORGE BUSH HANGS CHILDRENZ!!!111!!!

Wonder if this kid ever played GTA? I guarantee if he committed a violent crime after that, no one would be blaming it on the video game.

 

Cobblers.

People hang themselves all the time, including children. It is total media nonsense.
