I, as a Singaporean, feel very disappointed in putfile for being a total *******.

Anyways, full story right below this sentence.

Putfile Says Goodbye To Singapore

At dawn on December 2nd 2005, Singapore hanged a citizen of Australia, despite a plea for clemency from the United Nations. Whilst Putfile is not a human rights campaigning organization, we believe that if a country must have the death penalty, there is no need for it be barbaric. It is enough of a punishment, and a deterrent, to take someone's life in a painless manner, without having to be barbaric about it. Putfile prefers to not continue to provide our free uploading service to a country that executes prisoners by hanging, a method of execution which can take up to six minutes to painfully execute the victim.

For this reason, we are at this time terminating all service to users from Singapore. We shall be happy to restore service following any positive move from the government of Singapore towards abolition of hanging as an execution method.

Goodbye Singapore,

Putfile.

Omfg.

I'll post my comments on this outrageous thing later.

p.s. I posted this on offtopic section rather than media section cause I feel that this has to be heard by people of all countries.

EDIT: The reason why I stated such offensive topic subject.

Almost ALL of the posts made in the topic are by the Singaporeans who stood up for their country.

Van Yuen (or however you spell it) has been all over the news here. Australia wont leave it alone. He got what he deserved if you ask me, dont bring drugs into a country when its clearly against the law. I think Putfile needs a serious reality check. Oh so the Singaporean government actually carries out the conseuences of laws put in place by them, lets punish all of Singapore for their complete compitence...Please :roll: you had every right to call them dumbases.

Whereas I wouldn't agree with hanging, banning an entire country is entirely......just stupid. So punish a whole country because of the government? The US would be ruled by evil monkeys if that was done to us. Putfile certainly needs a lesson.

If I was you, I would just use Filefront. Much better anyway :wink:

well i'm against the death penalty so i do not think killing a man is right but then banning an entire country... i think troops moving out of iraq by february has more chance than singaport changing their laws because 1 site won't let them in. there are still lots of other uploader sides on the net

Why use hanging? Are they trying to go back into the past or something. I am not against the death penalty becuase sometimes it is needed, but why use this method?

And sorry to everyone in Singapre, I don't think the government is going to change that just so people can use putfile. But why did they even use hanging in the first place?

The US is being ruled by an evil monkey.
I just use some random server space, though.

They use hanging cause they want the criminals to die quick. SIngapore's way of hanging someone is to fisrt make the person stand on a platform with a loose rope on his neck. The executor then pulls the lever and the trapdoor below the person will open, and the force pulling him down is strong enough to break his neck within split seconds.

You don't want to die slowly and painfully do you?

i think that wat our aussie traficer did was horrible! he, the bali 7 and that other chick which has slipt my mind are disgraces to Australia... but shuld not be killed by a government, in my mind no crime, not even treason shuld be punished by death. 40 - life will teach their lesson.

and for banning all singaporians is just uterly STUPID!!!! is it their fault some guy came to them with drugs and was hung because of the governments decision? not at all! an outrage if u ask me, the whole deal, stupid people desgracing our friendly country, no singapore is gonna be heeps annoyed with us for heeps long!

I don't know if I've used Putfile before but now I will make a mental note never to use their services.

They were probably having space issues on their servers and took the easy way out by banning a country. :wink:

yeah but hangings can be painful.
1. the length of the rope is determin by the weight and height of a person. one little mis calc could result in strangulation while alive.
2. there have been mistakes in the past where people had their head lopped off or bled to death.
3. that is why we chose lethal injection... not that it is any better

ok, thats pure gayness
first off, hanging is like an unpredictable way to die, ive heard about people who have lasted like 20 minutes just hanging there, its disgusting, next step would be to crucify him for God's sake, just give him the injection or a firing squad.....
about the death penalty well.... i guess its necessary but the U.S. in particular takes it over board, 1000executions in like 31 years, but
it is the dudes own fault, and the entire nation can't be blamed for whatever the **** the government did...... but hey.... the world is full of retards.....

Omg, what idiots have the human beings become?

I went to several forums posting about this matter, and on one particular forum...

"I honour that person who was hung to death in Singapore on December 2 2005"

Seriously, what honour does someone who smuggles drugs for a living bring?

Pathetic is what most human beings have become.

It's that viet aussie's fault, NOT the Singapore government. Wtf is going on. Why the hell did the UN support THE SMUGGLER?

I hate the world.

Ugh, Singapore is so gonna be disrespected for the wrong reason now.

well lethal injection is expensive, and singapore doesn't really have guns so that wouldn't work.

reason hanging was used cuz it is cheap but the UN is against it cuz it is "cruel and unusual". not like lethal injection doesn't cause any pain

It was actually a method devised in England, the persons height and weight is taken so the length of rope can be calculated to ensure a quick death, but i am of the opinon, he broke the law, he knew what he was doing, so he deserved it and i read if the drop is done correctly, the body goes into a state of shock straight away and can not feel pain, but if it's done incorrectly it can be an extremely painful death, so i think other methods are more suitable.

But it is there service to offer, so they can offer it to who they wish.
