LordLicifer:
But it is still killing someone, which you are arguing against..

Soldiers go to war and kill so many other soldiers and innocent people. Is that murder or defending themselves?

You started talking about Putin and Zelenski wars, remember?
If anyone is mad enough to make an attempt on another person's life, the person should be able to defend himself with all possible means.

Don't you think Ukraine Russia war is a waste of human life on frivolous matters?

War should be abolished.

Every conflict should be resolved in court

How long will humanity continue to kill one another like animals?

We should outgrow that

Imagine you're one of the 400,000 soldiers that died in the Ukraine Russia war

Does it make sense for one Zelensky or Putin to sit in his office and decide the fate of thousands of soldiers?

They should also be in the battle field and risk their lives too

LordLicifer:
Really? grin So now you agree with killing, what about humanity? You see? Your silly argument about humanity is nonsense!
Defending yourself is not the same as executing a death sentence

LordLicifer:
More nonsense! grin it is not related at all. But if you want to bring death up or that people kill each other my father was killed by a drunk driver i bet it's okay in your view that he shouldn't punished for driving receklessly while drunk. ,let's also go back to world war 1 and 2, how about the killing of thousands of South africans during the apartheid? The Americans killed thousands of native Indian Americans, the british murdered many africans, Russia killed Hitler so which death or killing is worse than the other?

Is it even physically possible for me to kill you? We are on a faceless forum. Besides.


You are living in a cukooland yapping about humanity, humanity doesn't exist humans are created to kill each other if they need to, if you turn up at my house door threatning to kill me or my children will keel you first. If any man does that to you remember to lecture him on humanity. grin while he is murdering your children. Don't do anything just stand there and watch
Defend yourself and your family with arms if necessary

Senseless talk..

You don't need to know me, good, so how did.you KNOW that i will clap for Putin and Zelenski for killing 400,00 people. That is not even an opinion that is you claiming to KNOW what i would do.. cheesy

Besides,.what has Ukrainian war got to with this topic on death penalty or me? Yet you are believing that you made sense.
Ukraine Russia war is related to the death penalty topic because both involved death

You're becoming upset already by already

Hope you're not going to kill me

The point is that humanity should do away with killing one another by all means

Kobojunkie:
Why is it wrong for the state to kill a human who has killed another human? Why is it wrong to justly and equally apply the same punishment to those who deprive others of their right to life? 😒😒
Because the state actors are not free from crime

If they were free from crime, then they should have the right to kill murderers

And killing another human does not proffer any solution.

It rather multiplies killings


And the cycle continues without ending
Foreign Affairs › Re: Christa Pike Survives Two Lethal Injections, Rushed To Hospital by validplanet: 2:27pm On Oct 01
Kobojunkie:
The Law says justice is only served if the punishment of death is applied. You are literally against the law while claiming not to be against the law. 😒😒

2. For the umpteenth time, justice DOES NOT and has never served the purpose of deterring crime. So, why insist that because the death penalty does not deter killings, it should be reigned in?😒

3. So what makes sense to you is applying ideas to things to which they do not apply, and then concluding from that that you are right and everyone else is wrong? 😒😒
Any law that promotes killing another human cannot be right

Isolating the criminal and correcting him sounds better

Humanity should outgrow killing one another for any reason. Not even as a means of punishment

Hope you're not going to kill me for disagreeing with you

You may not think along that line, but religious fanatics do

Anything sensible your want to add? you come on here yarning dust about Putin and what not. And that you know me.

I shared my opinion on death penalty and killings and you shared your own.

I didn't call your opinion foolish

Why call mine foolish?

I don't need to know you

LordLicifer:
Good! I am glad you are not against the law.. which death penalty is part of. At least in America suspects go through the law unlike in our country here where a shout of tiff tiff! means the life of the suspect is taken in few minutes by ignorant mobs.


Believe it or not death penalty has detered many from crimes it may not have stopped crime but detered many from committing murder
Killing another human under any kind of law is wrong.

Not by death penalty, not by war.

I know you will clap for Putin and Zelensky for killing over 400,000 people in their stupid war.

Or Natenyahu for killing over 75,000 Palestinians.

These presidents are innocent and are celebrated while this poor woman deserves to be murdered.

Killing can never stop killing

Only forgiveness and love can stop killings.

The law should play a role in isolating criminals and leading them to realizing they are wrong and correcting them to becoming useful.

Why are prisons called correctional centers?

What are you correcting when you kill?

The murderer committed a crime and deserves a life jail... But not a death sentence.

Because no one is qualified to execute her..


We're all criminals

Just that you were not caught doesn't make you innocent

LordLicifer:
Tell this to the family of the poor innocent girl she murdered.


You ignored the part where i said the law is the law, without laws we have nothing. Another example, I could just take your lands, your children, your wife your house and leave you with nothing! but because I fear the law i would think again before doing anything to you or anyone.

Killing her would deter so many mad people who are thinking of murdering someone's child today. You may not know that but it's true
I'm not against the law...

But against Death Penalty

How many people has been deterred from killing because of death penalty?

It doesn't make sense
Foreign Affairs › Re: Christa Pike Survives Two Lethal Injections, Rushed To Hospital by validplanet: 11:06am On Oct 01
LordLicifer:
The law stands, without laws we have nothing! Everybody would be doing anyhow and killing anyone they want.

Someone kills your family member maybe your son after toturing them cut off part of their brains and keep for survenire.


And your statement would be the same one above?
Has your laws stopped crime?

Both the judiciary, legislature and executives are all criminals

The person that sentenced her to death and the person that administered the death injections are not free from crime.

Sentence the culprit to life jail


But no human is qualified to kill another

Find a way to keep her useful as she serves her life jail

That way she'll not be a threat to others

If the U.S fumbled this woman's execution, they will be setting a precedent that will be exploited by future death row inmates.
Let them aside the fact that she's a woman and do the needful, before Nancy clancy will be up next.
Since she regrets her actions, why waste her life?

why not engage her in something useful to the society?

In the same way, I believe Muslims won't feel comfortable with me forcing the gospel on them in the bus

Permission should be sought before the preaching.

Foreign Affairs › Iran Indirect Strategy by validplanet(op): 3:31pm On Apr 13
Why Iran Targets Gulf Countries Instead of Directly Attacking the United States
The recent warning by Iran—that no port in the Persian Gulf or Sea of Oman will be safe if its own ports are threatened—has raised a key question: why would Iran focus on Gulf countries instead of directly attacking the United States?
The answer lies in strategy, geography, and power balance.
1. Avoiding Direct War with a Stronger Military
The United States remains the world’s most powerful military force. A direct confrontation between Iran and the U.S. would likely escalate into a full-scale war, something Iran seeks to avoid.
Instead, Iran uses an indirect strategy:
Avoid head-on military confrontation
Apply pressure where the U.S. is vulnerable
This approach is often called asymmetric warfare—fighting smarter, not stronger.
2. Targeting U.S. Allies and Economic Interests
Many Gulf countries—like Saudi Arabia and the UAE—are close allies of the U.S. and host key energy infrastructure.
By threatening or attacking these countries, Iran:
Indirectly pressures the U.S.
Forces U.S. allies to reconsider their involvement
Expands the conflict beyond just two countries
Recent reports show that energy routes and infrastructure in the Gulf have already been disrupted, affecting global oil supply. �
Reuters
3. The “If We Can’t Trade, No One Can” Strategy
A major reason behind Iran’s threats is economic survival.
If the U.S. blockades Iranian ports:
Iran loses its ability to export oil
Its economy suffers heavily
So Iran responds with a broader warning:
If we are blocked, we will disrupt everyone’s trade
This includes threatening shipping routes and ports across the region, which are critical for global oil supply. �
Reuters
4. Control of Strategic Chokepoints
Iran has a major geographical advantage: it sits next to the Strait of Hormuz.
About 20% of global oil trade passes through this narrow route �
The Guardian
Disrupting it affects the entire world economy
Rather than attacking the U.S. mainland, Iran can:
Threaten ships
Disrupt oil flow
Create global economic pressure
This gives Iran leverage without direct war.
5. Creating Global Pressure on the U.S.
By targeting Gulf infrastructure and shipping:
Oil prices rise sharply
Global markets react negatively
Other countries get involved diplomatically
For example, oil prices have already surged amid the tensions. �
Reuters
This creates pressure on the U.S. from:
Its allies
Global markets
Domestic economic concerns
6. Expanding the Battlefield (Strategic Diversion)
Instead of concentrating conflict between Iran and the U.S., Iran spreads it across the region:
Ports
Oil pipelines
Shipping lanes
This makes the conflict:
Harder to control
More expensive for all sides
Riskier for global stability
Experts note that Iran does not need to win militarily—it only needs to raise the cost of the conflict. �
CSIS
7. Political Messaging and Deterrence
Iran’s threats are also meant to send a message:
To Gulf states: “Stay out of this conflict”
To the U.S.: “Your actions will destabilize the whole region”
By doing this, Iran hopes to prevent further escalation while showing strength.
Conclusion
Iran is not attacking Gulf countries instead of the U.S. out of weakness alone—it is a deliberate strategy.
By focusing on the Gulf region, Iran:
Avoids direct war with a stronger opponent
Targets critical economic systems
Uses geography to its advantage
Forces global attention and pressure
In simple terms, Iran’s strategy is:
“We may not fight you directly, but we can make the entire region—and global economy—feel the impact.”

If you pay house rent for 10 years, you would have spent enough money to buy a plot of land.

Better for them to use the rent money to complete the house in the next 5 years

They can even use the house to take a bank loan to fix it

She can start a small farm in her backyard even a poultry farm and no landlord will stop her

Business › Re: Vdm Registers Blord As Trade Mark by validplanet(op): 3:17pm On Feb 23
validplanet:
if you have a business name, try register the trade mark...

trade marke is more important than business name
Registering a trademark on another person's existing registered business name can lead to legal conflicts, especially in Nigeria where trademarks often take precedence.

Trademark Precedence
In Nigeria, a registered trademark generally has stronger protection than a Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)-registered business name. Courts have ruled that trademarks take priority, as seen in Sanofi S.A. v Sanofi Integrated Services Ltd, where later business names using "Sanofi" were ordered cancelled due to the prior trademark. This stems from the Trademarks Act and Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), which allow CAC to direct name changes if conflicting with an existing trademark.

Owner's Remedies
The business name owner can challenge the trademark via opposition during registration, passing off claims if prior use is proven, or court action for cancellation if it causes confusion. Trademark owners, however, can seek injunctions, damages, or CAC intervention to force the business to rebrand. Prior use by the business name holder may support defenses like common law rights, but registration shifts exclusivity to the trademark holder.

Practical Outcomes
The outcome depends on timing, prior use, and industry similarity—first-to-register often wins unless fraud or deception is shown. Both parties risk litigation; business name owners may need to change names, while invalid trademarks can be cancelled. To avoid issues, search both CAC and trademark registries before registering either.
