[anotherindiekid]

Scary,-very-scary-(both-the-so­ng/video-and-many-of-the-comme­nts).

[MansHate]

the beautiful Tracey Curtis ;0)

[MansHate]

the beautiful tracey x

[happybea]

china should change their ways to punish people, and i say this despite being chinese

as for the other people watching this, don't only judge a country by their mistakes. i'm sure your countries screwed up many times as well

[Commentdeleted]

I guess genocide doesn't factor into the ratings.

[biggi3lue]

Dont post your opinion on this topic. The bias of the readers will quickly disagree in favor of the videos intentions. People do not have their own voice anymore, decide for yourself what should happen.

[rndiadem]

1,000,000+ INNOCENT babies dead each year, we're #1, we're #1.......

[franczyk94]

@rndiadem shut your mouth you stupid prick and take your polotics and shove em where the sun dont shine

[leanright6870]

Oh, I get it: protect the guity (what should be the penalty for a man who has brutally raped, tortured and murdered little girls?)

[teamskyfans]

wow.. the haters have appeared.. you guys all freinds of each other?

[beastcave]

More bleeding-heart liberalism. Cry me an ocean.

[2xcheese]

wow, this song really blows...

[jethromayham]

In a country over 1 billion, even 20 million would hardly make a dent. Why should we be upset when killers are did away with? You just saw what happened when they are released, the animals kill again.

We want a safer America and not one ruled by killers and mad men.

[philipzhan89]

China did win the most Gold Medals in 2008 olympic. LOL

[lamatapedia15]

Wonderful video and music...and so true!

Thank you Tracey!

[ExtremeVideoMaker95]

i dont get it...........lol

[dimspace]

you dont get it?

ok the song was written severel years ago when it was announced that china was to be hosting the bejing olympics. which many people opposed due to chinas pretty appaling historic, and ongoing human rights record...

now i did not write it, so i cant say what tracey thought as she wrote it, only what she has said about it since, but the premise is that an olympics where being hosted in a country who are currently leading the world in one thing.. executions..

[dimspace]

thefore if there was a competition, or olympic event for killing people china would win..

i know lot of americans have taken it personally, but the main point is that thousands of people are killed in china every year, often without proper trial, and for minor crimes..

the reason it was done in almost karaoke style is that at traceys gigs, the death penalty song, because of maybe its tempo, the chorus reading out countries, almost became a singalong in a very strange ironic way..

[dimspace]

obviously its not a happy song, hence the singalong aspect was so ironic.. its then that the idea of a singalong web version came about...

[DJF1956]

Here is a comment on THE VIDEO:

Great, Great , Great.

Love the (Very Clever) song, love the vid too.

[KnowJesusKnowPeace]

I give you a tear-filled 5 stars.

[pacnaz]

ummm I won The Gold in the Special Olympics once for being (wow sounds Like Beijing) the best short bus driver ever once?

[agogodanielle]

why god should bless us?We kill a person in texas which the international court said no.

We have legal homosexual marige.We killed in Iraq and afghanistan for whatever reson.We segregate people, Black,blue,green,and pink.We waste lots of food but there's million are dying because they don't have food in Africa.We genocide Japanese by using the nuke.(If genocide is defined by us over the sudan issue.)

Our constitution are constantly abused by politicians.

[KnowJesusKnowPeace]

American law does not submit to international law. This is the work of the NWO, rich-elite bankers who worship Satan. The want a world under the total control. This is why France just started tracking all its people... the rest of the world, well... we are probably far, far further into that than we think.

[Rangzenboy]

Good Job! China already won Gold Medal, before olympic is started. Guess China can win the second Gold Medal too? Eating human flesh, the chinese guy in greyhond in canada should repersent CHINA!!!

[hanmagic]

We Chinese learned well from the West. Yes protesters will be mowed down like those at Ken State Univ.(Ken State Massacre), their women and children will be burned to death like those at Waco (Waco Massacre, or locked up forever to be tortured and sexually abused like those in Guantanamo Bay . Some will be cluster bombed because they have weapon of mass destruction.

[KnowJesusKnowPeace]

The plan China is studying for world conquest is Hitler's. They have decided it is necessary to take down the most powerful first- in one day. America, Mystery Babylon, will be destroyed in one day, by fire. Wait until the people cry "Peace and Safety!"

[hanmagic]

Wrong, Hitler failed. China will succeed in conquering the World.

[KnowJesusKnowPeace]

The Kingdom of Jesus Christ will cover the world. There will be no more world kingdoms. There is only one, very short lived world power remaining. Have you seen Daniel's vision of the statue? It was dreamed by Nebuchadnezzar. China, like evil governments (not the people, the govs) will also fail.

There will be no safe place except beneath the Blood of Jesus.

[PRCForever]

US and its evil imperialist ambitions should have been wiped out 200 years ago if God exists

[woolybullie]

Did you know that if Texas had a population the size of China's they would have 1447 executions a year. and dont have to remind you that Texas is a state that loves Jesus like no other.

(this figure is based on 2007 statistics, feel free to check me on it)

[JustThink00]

@KnowJesusKnowPeace

if all the world burns and there is place safe from torture and death but him, then i will not even consider going to him because to do so is to sell your soul. Christianity asks you to hate yourself and kill your soul so that you can be but a reflection of a megalomaniac of a god. It only takes a little positive spin on things and everyone runs to it like blind fools. The christian god is the king of deception and threats and emotion. He hates logic and freedom.

[fjcruise]

What are you talking about?..Americans have killed more than a million iraqis for "peaceful purposes"

[JustThink00]

@fjcruise america has never intentionally targeted civilians, so that's just horseshit.

[fjcruise]

@JustThink00 OKKK! You need to think more my friend!!,,,

[JustThink00]

all i do is think. If you have facts or logic to change my mind i'd love to hear it.

[dimspace]

and i think you will find that most, brits for instance, are not only opposed to the indiscrimate murder/execution of 2000 people a year, and the fiasco with tibet, darfur etc, but are also opposed to uk and the us being in iraq as well.. personally i not only oppose the chinese civil rights problems etc, the war in iraq, but also the japanese killing wales and countless other things...

you will find the same artist has also written many many anti war songs, and songs aimed at george bush..

[redword2007]

Bashing China is the favourite passtime of many Brits and Americans. Why not focus on your own governments and the real story in Iraq: One million corpses rotting under the Iraqi soil, most of them innocent victims of an illegal war perpetrated by Bush, Blair and Brown.

[CookiesAndGold]

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Please lose the massive chip on your shoulder and get a job. Liberal loser.

[redword2007]

Opposing the PRC for the liberation, development and enrichment of Tibet is a passtime for idle and wealthy British and American morons who don't know any better. The only Tibetans who want to turn the clock back are the ruthless religious and former land owning classes who were defeated in the liberation. And by the way, I despise liberalism. Don't think you can apply american terminology to the rest of the word you insular minded cretin.

[ChinaKillsNuns]

red

Do you think that Tibetans in Tibet are happy?

[hide0140]

AHmad Suraji, a criminal in Indonesia who killed more than 40 girls and burried in her backyard bfor black-magic traning purpose.

what kind of penalty would be appropriate for this guy?

is that human rights thought suit this guy?

judge it by urself!!!

[dimspace]

I have kept fairly quiet, but its interesting to see the various comments. I must drag tracey here at some point to make her comments as she wrote it, but the upset americans are interesting. The one thing that i took from it is that despite the world viewing america as chief (purponents?) of the DP, that china have executed more people in 1 year than the US in 20.. its mind boggling to think of thousands being killed each year.

[mattygrill]

It shouldn't be used as often as it is but it is sometimes appropriate. Would you have opposed the death penalty for Hitler?

[swappyinn]

who is the singer of this song?? well delivered!!! where can i download mp3??

But capital is necessary sometimes!!

thanks for reading

[yoyyo2000]

yea, i am sure everything AI said must be true :P

[WilliamBerne]

SBs

[dakarateboi]

Beautiful song and wonderful singer! Thank you for your sharing!

[Mutch820]

I was invited here by my friend DIM to post my thoughts and that I did. I got personal with no one as you did. Mine is simply an opinion that I stand firm by. However I shall refrain from rebutting to your personal attack on me. Because I'm that kinda guy... Peace :-)

[gorkys6]

And how do contributors like Wirralbloke and Mutch820 end up here? Seeing and commenting on this video? Through their ongoing quest for 'snuff videos', done to satisfy a morbid curiosity - that's how. They get a kick out of the whole thing, which is really quite disturbing.

[gorkys6]

Even George Bush doesn't deserve the death penalty. Just a long sentence that fits the crimes. And that would be US tax dollars well spent!

[hiphop4soul]

i think georage bush should get one finger ripped off his hands every week

then we do the water torture thing on him for at least 3 more monthes...then find the most painful way to kill him and broadcast it on international television

but thats my opinion

[LatchesPH]

I'm really glad not to leave in one of those countries... Death penalty is a barbarian answer to a barbarian act...It's pure vengeance and Justice is not made for vengeance. Death penalty never reduced the number of crimes it even have the opposite effect. But keep going if you think that killing someone will solve your problems...

[breakfastisready]

one slight difference dimwit-

THosoe people were charged, tried, and convicted by a jury of their peers - with legal counsel.

You will not find that in china, and you know it....

Idiotic vid.

[Wirralbloke]

I'm not condoning capital punishment without trial or any degree of doubt.

I'm merely saying that it's entirely appropriate in cases like this. No doubt the murderers will be released in just a couple of years and be free to kill another woman.

How would you feel if Sophie Lancaster was YOUR daughter ?

And another thing, I've got letters after my name so f**k off.

[breakfastisready]

I thought the vid was about a moral equivilancy between the US and China. I was wrong.

My apologies.

[Wirralbloke]

Given the opportunity, I'd gladly pay for the rope and pull the lever to dispose of the scumbags who murdered Sophie Lancaster.

The death penalty is entirely appropriate for those who would beat a young woman to death for their own perverted enjoyment.

Albert Pierrepoint, we need you.

[Mutch820]

So much for your wanting an adult debate DIM. :-) Hope you are well my friend and maybe I'll fly out for the Webley show in the UK.

[Mutch820]

I'm proud to be an American and to do my part to help bring criminals to justice! Those that get the death penalty here deserve it! Also proud to be a Virginian, second in the nation only to Texas in carried out death sentences.

[monsooncryptic]

Im proud to be a human being, and believe that the terms criminal, and justice are an excuse to destroy another humans beings life. If your honest anyone that is prepared to destroy another human being is a criminal including all the above mentioned goverments including America. The death penalty has no justification love and humanity should be our aim.
