British anger at China execution

[Supreme]

Of course this man is British, he was legally recognized as such. Anyone who wasn't born in a country yet earns citizenship in that country also becomes a citizen of that country.

Earn? British citizenship isn't earned, it's given away by the the current liberal party of Labour. British citizenship should be earned through the armed forces or through some sort of devotion to Britain. The Ghurkas deserve immediate citizenship.
However, this does not make them "British" but is a reward of residence and entitlement of the same benefits as a Briton. If they were born outside of Britain then he/she will never be British and that does include foreign-born children to British parents though they would likely follow their parent's traditions. I know my view will peeve a few off in here especially foreign British citizens....
The guy executed in China was not British but Pakistani with a British citizenship freebie.

This has steered off topic... Moving back.

To be honest British does not mean anything to me, nor does Pakistani. I just consider myself a human being. As long as I don't commit crime in the UK, comply with its laws and behave myself, eventually pay taxes, then I consider that should be enough to be considered as a loyal citizen. Not causing any problems to the government or its people. I will not however blindly support any government decision. Even if I was living in Pakistan or an Islamic state, I would not be loyal to the government if they were taking a decision which I regard as immoral.

There are few grades in mental illness. Mad is classified as high grade mental illness, and a mad person is free from punishment. Bad temper is also classified as mental illness but in low grade, and a person in bad temper is not free from punishment.

The question is : Which grade is Akmal Shaikh's mental illness ?.

By the way, how we can know he had mentally problems?

Is it some reason you can make crimes if you are mentally ill?

He committed crime and hopely knew already what kind of punishment he may get in China.

A widespread opinion is that he was duped into carrying the drugs by a gang in Poland.

I live in a country where you literally can buy drugs in a store and if you want stronger "stuff" you can always go to those men (sometimes kids) who are standing in every corner of the street. :hmm:

And where do you live?

It could be Amsterdam...? There are a few places that have relaxed laws on drugs. In Amsterdam I hear you can purchase cannabis behind the counter in a cafe. Cannabis is a legal substance and it's permissable to smoke it in the streets.
