    "anyone"
    point being taken that they are still "one" one person, one human. so they SHOULD have human rights.

    hahaha, i meant that as a joke, citizens and all. I thought that they became citizens when the number of inmates far surpassed the local population and Great Britain just declared australia as a Commonwealth nation... i think they even held a election there or something saying if they want to stay as a commonwealth nation or become a republic nation, declaring they are not anymore connected to the British ruler? I should read more on australia...

    but anyway, i know that even in North America, the british just sent the puritans or some threats to the British islands to the colonies that we now called the 13 original states of the USA... i think it happened during the time of King James, when he declared that Catholicism is again the official religion.

    Well, i think loony can correct me in all of my post if i'm entirely wrong in them...

    ...Yeah, you've definitely gotta read up on Australian history >_>

    Also, that "election" you're referring to is this.

    Guys, my local news channel have been informing my country about the death of the planner or the brain of the first Bali bombing. The police found out where he has been hiding. In the process, the police use bombs and guns to seize this guy. This prove that my country doesn't respect the terrorist's rights. I don't know about law, is it allowed to shoot dead the terrorist or not, but I assume from the police action they were allowed to kill him.

    I believe law is equal to all people inside where the law is used. So, terrorists do have human rights because in despite their crimes people committed a crime must be treated equally according to law.

    That seems to be the crux of this debate. I believe that if someone, of sound mind, consciously denies an innocent's rights, that person is forfeiting their rights in the process. Of course, then comes the problem of proving such a thing, but that's a separate issue.

    no they don't, they commited a crime against humanity. if they have no respect for others why should they be given respect back?

    the way you think is just....... revenge... thats all you want?

    its not a matter of revenge, its a case of having responsibilities as well as rights. You have a responsibility to respect others rights, if you blow up a load of other people you have intentionally violated their right to life, as well as the right of everyone else to not live in fear, so why should you expect them to respect your rights?

    exactly, terrorists should not even be put under the geneva convention (cause its for formal armies, and terrorists aren't a military)

    Your thinking is quite in line with some terrorist thinking, "feck em this is our law".

    yes,sometimes,"gods",sometimes

    although they are misguided, they are still violating other people's right to live,

    and if you view another as inferior...
    ... it is you who is inferior.

    Sometimes the terrorists are correct in their ideas but wrong in their ways. Sometimes the only way to get a message across when no one will listen is to kill people. This is the reasoning of terrorists, I do not support that reasoning but I do understand it. It is always better to talk with these people than ignore them.
