    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"??


    Hope you aren't referring to Chad, Ed, or myself, or you just couldn't be more wrong. I am as anti all those things as you will ever find.

    i know that this thread is 66 pages long now, and please forgive me for reposting something i posted back in the very beginning. i just want to mention it again in case new people to the thread don't go back to the beginning. no one has commented on this, and that's ok, i just thought it might give a victims insight. there's some heartbreaking stories here. the death penalty is not the answer. please don't think it gives the victims families closure. it really doesn't.

    if anyone is interested, there's a very good website out there that opposes the death penalty. they campaign on behalf of murder victims and their families.

    their aim is "to put real faces on victim opposition to the death penalty by presenting photos and statements from survivors throughout the United States and around the world, along with photos of the murder victim and links to further information."

    these a real people, real stories. absolutely heartbreaking. these people know what it's like to lose someone they loved very much, and they are completely against the death penalty.
some of them have witnessed the dealth penalty being carried out and they say that it gives them absolutely no peace at all. in fact it just creates more victims.

    i was talking in general. not you three specifically. look at the states that carry out such penalties, texas (who kills mentally challenged prisoners by the way), florida, missouri, utah, and those countries in the middle east are all right wing religious countries and all of the governments in those states and countries support the DP..

    Personally, I think an good guage of stance on the DP is whether or not you, YOURSELF, could pull the trigger as the executioner on a person and live with it.

    Can you support something that you couldnt do yourself?
    I get angry as fuck hearing about murderers and people who wear other peoples skin and keep their eyeballs in jars and heads in refrigerators... but could I end their life? me personally? no fucking way.

    Yes, it is one giant hypocritical clusterfuck. That's why I don't hamstring myself with religious conviction.

    And I still don't buy any kind of definitive morality about taking another life. Just because you feel that way, doesn't make it so.

    how can you even pretend that it's not immoral to take another human life? that's what seperates us from the "monsters" that Chadwick keeps regailing us with stories of!

    I'll say it for an 87th time..........and please answer this time...........someone........WHAT gives anyone the right to take the life of another human being? And don't use "they gave up their rights to live yadda yadda yadda". Where was it stated in some divine book that told you that they gave up their right to live for x crime? Who decided this? Tell me! Who??

    I always like it when someone asks a question and then tells people how they can or can't answer them.

    Look, I get your position, and I move closer to the same most everyday. But I will try and answer you question even using the rules you laid out.

    What gives anyone the right to take the life of another? Well, it is called laws. Written by man. Some have been good, other have been bad. But that is what gives someone the right. And, in my case, when I believe the death penalty is appropriate, it is because I don't believe it is worth the risk to other human beings to keep someone alive. Risk to the general population, risk to other inmates of lesser crimes, risk to correctional officers (maybe my main concern). Should we be putting these people at risk by dealing with a murderous individual? If you take away the death penalty and give life without parole, why would an inmate comply with the correction officers? What keeps them from doing something terrible? It concerns me. If they are put to death, then there is no way for them to kill again. So, that how I justify it. Though, as I said, I waver on it often. I'm a flip-flopper. ;)

    I'm not sure the pro-choice people would agree that you'd have to be willing to do something yourself in order to support it....or so they have told me.

    in that case a fiscal conservative would be against the death penalty, as covered on page 64 or 65..

    now you folks are throwing in religions and what political stance, this or that?
    unreal.
    democrat
    republican
    everyone can fire a bullet
    everyone can pull the switch
    needles still work the same way for both partys

    i find this comedic

    good point "thou shalt not kill" but what should be the punishment when someone dose ?

    well done.
    what's your groups name?

    musical instruments and prison?
    hhmmm
    during a riot (when i was a kid) inmates trashed all their musical instruments and smashed windows.
    the prison did not replace the instruments for years and didn't replace the windows very quickly so
    that they could freeze a bit beings it was during the cold season.

    there you go.
    that's all i have.

    we wont go into the decapitated body found in the kitchen and all of its body parts chopped up with
    the knife buried in his neck.
    yep it's true, dad found the murdered inmate in a rolling laundry cart under some laundry.
    nice guys in prison.

    yes they do.
    the best part is
    is when the piece of shit's favorite tv show come on
    and you and a friend sneak behind the walls where the piping is
    and you unscrew his cable tv then pour beach into his breathing system
    this would never happen in prison
    the inmate would never abduct, torture, rape and murder a little girl on christmas eve
    then dispose of her body in a ditch out in some rural area
    that would never happen

    then house him with food
    great medical coverage
    and give him an education and priesthood?
    yes he was a priest before prison, during prison
    the whole fucking time, a priest.
    i am flabbergasted
