    The problem being, though, chad, is the things you've said you want to do are just as much "horrors" as what they've done. The problem is you condemn murder and advocate murder all in the same breath.
    That's the heart of my problem with where you're coming from. Surely that's not so hard to comprehend, is it?

    I have learned that my views are often times dismissed as monstrous. I believe that humans are a plague, so if I have little use for most people, try to imagine how I feel about the true bastards in our midst. When I blame our species for the woeful condition and rapid deterioration of our planet, you’ll just have to forgive me for not placing the same emphasis on the importance of human life that some of you so clearly believe. Maybe it’s because I spend my time amongst the animals and have developed a far greater respect for their honesty, directness, and bravery in which they face life, pain, and death. A wolf pack wouldn’t tolerate anti-social behavior from one its own; they wouldn’t make excuses for brother who was once kicked in the head by a moose and since then has been biting family and acting crazy. You will say we are better than wolves, but that is something you will never convince me of, and I have all of human history on my side of the argument.
    Have any of you ever killed anything with your own hands that was mortally wounded? Ever seen that last flicker of life go out in something’s eyes? I have and I seem to have a whole different relationship with life and death than most people. Hell, cancer took my father when I was a child and it was the best thing that could have happened to my family. See, he wasn’t a good man, and although I know what demon made him that way, it didn’t change the damage he was doing. Cancer stopped him from doing any more.
    So, maybe your beliefs make you compassionate and wise. Maybe. Or, maybe they make you all too human, impractical, and without the will to do what is necessary. Not sure. All I can do is tell where I come from, and it’s a place most of you haven’t been.

    yes it is very difficult to comprehend
    good... i am on this side, this team...

    evil... i am not on this wagon, never want to be and will remove it when i can or whatever

    good can off evil and be good to go... i feel that and enjoy it that way

    i have never offed anyone
    i have hunted to help feed our family, shot wildlife for the supper table

    if a child molester gets a bullet between his eyes i will not cry

    I don't even know where to begin on how little sense that makes. You contradict yourself left, right and centre and don't notice. One thing it does show me for certain though. Rational, intelligent argument is not exactly a strong point of yours. I think I'll stop wasting my time trying to talk sense to you.

    makes all the sense in the world to me.
    how am i contradicting myself?

    good & evil
    i live on the good side
    good is the right side, as in right or wrong
    sure i make mistakes

    evil
    the bad side
    the wrong side
    i don't live here

    i do not like or tolerate what evil & wrong do
    evil & wrong behavior should be removed from all good

    why is this so hard to understand?
    it's like war
    we have the good side
    we have the bad side

    that is how simple it is

    I think it's safe to say that all of us in here think of ourselves on the 'good side'.
    And of course, nobody in here likes evil.

    But where you lose me is -- yes, you dont want to tolerate evil and make blanket statements like evil should be removed or stabbed 13 times. Are you talking esoterically and poetically about Richard Ramirez and the likes of Ted Bundy? Or are we talking about the current state of the death penalty and how it is incorporated into society in general?

    btw, also, war is not so clear cut either -- good side/bad side.

    Dude Chadwick, I think you mean well, and I respect you, but this is exactly why this discussion is a train wreck. Since you didnt answer, I'm just going to assume that you are talking esoterically and refuse to address/even think about the DP and its flaws (ie executing innocents). I'll just settle on the idea that you are the crusader of good that wants to end violence with violence and that all its victims are a clear cut 100% guilty.

    just nevermind. I think i answered my own question. I think you and I are just arguing two differnt topics.
    I assume you are just talking about "clear cut guilty" -- of which there is no such thing in general terms.

    I'm talking about the DP and all of its flaws. It seems the flaws get overlooked in next to big bad evil such as Richard Ramirez. I understand it though, I really do.

    And how will killing someone else make any difference to that awful situation? It won't. It is a heinous crime, true. I feel awful for that child and it will no doubt affect her for the rest of her life. Killing him, however, is not going to change that.

    You also make the completely false assumption that all victims' families would support retribution in the form of the death penalty, whereas there are very many - not just in the United States, but the world over, in the vast majority of countries that do not stoop to killing killers - who feel that the perpetrator being locked up for life, will die in prison, is the justice they want.

    You've got to be kidding me. haha, the old "tell that to (victim)". I'm so sick of that argument. Nobody here knows how that girl feels, geesh.
    Justice? "tell that to" the mother of Tim Evans who was killed by the govt and was innocent.
    we could go around like this in circles for eternity.

    And yes, life in prison for that guy is justice. And many, many people are going to be telling that little girl exaclty that -- that the criminals got justice.

    Ok, seriously though... You do realize that there are something like average 16,000 murders per year in the US.
    And that there are on average 37 executions/yr.

    So, there is no justice unless the perpetrators die?
    You must be really upset then that there are like 15000 people out there just livin it up.

    Actually, The other side of this discussion that gets kinda lost (maybe it was discussed back on page 37b...)
    is whether or not you think the death Pnalty is worse that living in maximum security prison forever for someone like this kid who just axed that girl and her daughter.

    Personally, I'd take the DP if I had to chose. I feel its the easy way out.

    I was wondering how long it would take before the Bible justifications would start. There are so many problems with that. First, (and correct me if i'm wrong, because I'm not American), your constitution establishes church-state separation, so it seems to me that to base a legal directive on a church's teaching should be unconstitutional, no? Secondly, the old eye-for-an-eye, life-for-a-life cliché is taken out of context, and is anyway directly contradicted by other passages in the Bible, the most obvious and unambiguous of all being "Thou shalt not kill", which is a closed statement with no contextual confusion. On top of which, it tends to be Christians who use the "eye for an eye" defence, yet they seem to conveniently forget that Christ himself explicitly overrode "eye for an eye". (Matt 5)

    Aside from the Biblical point, no, it's not "fair". I've repeated this point till I'm practically bored with it, but it doesn't seem to register. If killing one person is wrong, killing another person is also wrong. You cannot have it both ways just because it suits your indignation. Two wrong do not make a right, two deaths don't cancel each other out and make it "fair." Quite frankly, to say it's "fair" is a bit of a slap in the face for the victim's family, if you ask me.

  • who says? do you still think they should be put to death if the victim opposes it? because from what I can gather, most of your statements revolve around retribution for the victims, but if the victim is opposed to it, then shouldn't that mean something?

    I almost agree with you on that ,it is too easy, life in general population with all inmates knowing what he has done....the end is almost a guarantee.

  • Aside from the Biblical point, no, it's not "fair". I've repeated this point till I'm practically bored with it, but it doesn't seem to register. If killing one person is wrong, killing another person is also wrong. You cannot have it both ways just because it suits your indignation. Two wrong do not make a right, two deaths don't cancel each other out and make it "fair." Quite frankly, to say it's "fair" is a bit of a slap in the face for the victim's family, if you ask me.

    I don't even know why I came back to this thread. They won't ever get it.

    who says? do you still think they should be put to death if the victim opposes it? because from what I can gather, most of your statements revolve around retribution for the victims, but if the victim is opposed to it, then shouldn't that mean something?

    I will go with a yes on that one if the victim wanted it that way but how would we/the courts know this ?

    I was wondering how long it would take before the Bible justifications would start. .

    back on page 2 or 3! :lol:


    I have not stated anything about the Bible on this, this is my opinion alone.
