I'm pretty sure that the nation in which Disneyland is located still has a death penalty.

I really appreciate arbus's comment. You're right that it doesn't hang together in a completely rational way, but it is a rare accurate illustration of how Singaporeans really feel. For an empathetic person, it isn't hard to imagine feeling this way, if you grew up there.

People in other countries also have idiosyncratic ways of tolerating the limitations of their systems. Singapore is perhaps an extreme case.

(I lived in Singapore for a couple of years, a long time ago.)

As I said in another post, I grew up in Singapore. I've been in Australia now for a decade or so.

I prefer having more freedoms to less, but in retrospect I quite like the way of life there. There's nothing that I do or have done that would have landed me in trouble in Singapore.

So for a lot of these average people, it's great.

I didn't know our Disney resorts had the death penalty for certain offenses committed within the park.

He means Florida still kills people.

At the very least though to Florida's credit, at least Amnesty International is confident that they can get a solid read on the number of people actually killed by Florida. There are grave concerns over even the reporting of executions in Singapore.

Yes I realized that. I was just pointing out that the post above him meant a "Disneyland with the death penalty". He probably realized that as well, I just didn't care for his sarcasm.
