    chadwick, you are stretching the story out of proportion
    those nasty scary ppl don't exist, now stop it, nobody is that cruel.

    :twisted: oh yes they are :evil:
    under a rock?

    sure.

    i'm a critical care paramedic, and have seen more broken bodies and smashed in heads that you seem to be so fond of describing, than i care to remember.

    the death penalty is inhumane, sick and barbaric.


    So is prison (much more so in my opinion), but you are ok with that?

    It's all circular - violence, killing, death (whether just or unjust) begets the same result.

    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    no. I don't think it's fair to treat anyone like an animal, but I also don't know what the solution is. They don't deserve to be in Club Med either.

  • no one said this stuff didn't happen. we're just kind of getting tired of the drawn out explanations of what these people did or hypothetically did. don't you get it? no death penalty means no death penalty, under any circumstances? nothing real or dreamed up would matter to me. NO DEATH PENALTY.

    no i don't think anyone should be treated like an animal eyed. but unless you want them to move in with you 24/7, and you can keep them from murdering someone else, what's the alternative?

    i don't know. i don't believe they should be out amongst the general population unless there is 100% certainty that they won't kill someone else.

    nobody is hiding from anything. where are these monsters that you feel the need to warn us of oh great catcher in the rye? why do you have no opinion on the other thread? because when faced with the reality of a real situation you don't speak up because you know you are wrong?

  • not a gut feeling. you don't think you have a right to live? so do you think a woman doesn't have the right not to be raped? that a child doesn't have the right not to be abused? come on, buddy, that's weak and you know it. I don't care how far in the woods you live.

    I think the onus of proof is on those that would take action, not those that would take inaction. Just like a defendant. The onus is left with those who wish to take away their rights, not the one that would keep them. Unless you still live under the rule of the dark ages, then I guess we can go find a girl, cry out "witch!" and then burn her at the stake.

    But then we are back to them possibly escaping and doing God knows what, or they stay behind bars possibly injuring or killing other prisoners or guards. That is the very realistic chance you take when wharehousing monsters. Why are those chances acceptable?

    I can barely make it through a work week before I have to escape to mountains and fresh air and no people. I would kill myself in a prison. They wouldn't need to. But yes, I do concede that. I think you have all made some good points and I don't think there is an easy solution. I see both sides of the discussion. I really do.

    i don't know how many times i have to say it. murdering the murderer doesn't make it right, in my opinion. state sanctioned murder is murder too. why is the life of the person that killed someone I love, considered an equal trade for my loved one? how can some total stranger assume that by sentencing the offender to death, things will automatically be squared up? It's not and it never will be.

    throwing someone in a cold damp concrete hole is far more barbaric than a death sentence.
    ppl are affraid of the word death.
    ppl are affraid to die.

    if i were a piece of dog shit i'd be affraid to die too.
    the darkness might not be so kind to a monster.

    to me death is the beginning.
    i hope when my chance comes along i can embrace the death and run with it.
    the next light shall be life.

    bad guys?
    probably not very nice.

    just my opinions... i have many :twisted:

    You're right, killing someone is not going to square up the past, or replace a lost or shattered love one. However, it might stop others from suffering the same unimaginable pain (actual victims and their loved ones).

    But that's just it, people make life and death decisions for others all the time. I hear you saying that isn't right, however, it is what is. So we can deal with the universal right and wrong of things (where we will, oddly enough, find very little universal agreement), or we can deal with the reality of the situation.

    doesn't anyone find it mildly ironic that a lot of the pro Dp people tend to be conservative, right wing, or religious and one of the commandments they are supposed to follow is "thou shalt not kill"??
