    I'm nobody, but I honestly care for everyone here.

    There are good people on either side of this argument and to the board, at large, this is argument is relative. However, some of our number have personal experience that makes any argument seem silly.

    This thread is political and potentially religious and we all normally do our best to meet on less divisive terms.

    Again, I'm nobody, but let's let this thread go and get back to what we all come here for.

    So, who else thinks Mego Batman sucks if it ain't a RC Batman?

      The answer, if there is one, is lifetime incarceration, without possiblity of parole, and in a "death-row" type setting. This removes the perpetrator not only from society at large but also from the general prison population. It also takes away the chance the state may have the wrong person, in such cases where this is a possibility.

      This is humane, moral, punitive and logically sound. I hope that one day we may put this system into operation instead of the one we currently have.
      If such a system could be relied on Vort, . . . but it can't . . .it is almost impossible to get anyone into prison in the first place anymore over here. . .I know that isn't the case where you are necessarily.

      A guy here in Brisbane punched a complete stranger in the face, king hitting him. . .passing him on the street, never having met him before. He said he thought the guy said something to him he didn't like. . . but could not recall what it was because he was drunk.

      This poor young guy out on a night on the town. . .never wakes up. . . .DEAD.

      Goes to court. . . the guy gets off. . .didn't mean to kill him. . . .no conviction. . . walks free. This even though probably 10 to 20 people have died in Queensland here in the last 5 years the same way. . . .no where here can possibly believe anymore that a king hit won't kill. It is a regular event now where we live.

      YET, . . .you get off. The guy later gets involved in something very similar. . .gets off again.

      Another similar case gets off a few months later.

      A well known paedophile here ( Ferguson ). . . .worst seriel offended known publically here in Queensland. . . goes before the Judge. Even though he is yet again charged with interfering with a 5 year old girl. . . the judge rules. . .because of his well known status and previous reported convictions that he can't get a fair trial. . . .so he is let out to live in a community population YET again.

      Do I have any faith in the legal system doing the right thing EVER. . . . .NO. . . the criminal justice system is a totally broken system that in no way has justice. . .at its core. Not here in Queensland anyway. . . .and never heard of anyone being sentenced to life meaning life. I think most folk would be out within 15 years. . . no matter what the crime.

            I have to disagree. I only had the non rc 8" Batman when I was a Kid,.. so it's because Of him,.. that I am here today.
            ... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.
