honestly, there is a HUGE difference. you know that.
tough call know1. i respect you standing for your morals and taking the higher road. tough call until it happens to you, then things may change. i dont know what i would do
and i am anti-death penalty. but government sanctioned revenge killing is different than my personal feelings in the heat of the moment and what would satisfy me
There may be a huge difference, and there may not. I'm trying to point out the subjectivity of "ruining a life" along with the utter hypocrisy of the death penalty.
If we start killing everyone based upon someone's perception that they "ruined a life" then we'll have a lot less people on this earth.
And you're right, I COULD change my mind based upon new circumstances (I say that about my opinion on any subject), but I would HOPE that I would never resort to killing another person...whether I felt they deserved it or not.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
25 years sitting in a cell getting 3 square meals ........
exercise.....
cable television......
and all the sex you want.....
IS NOT punishment enough....
when the guilty verdict is read.....just march these fuckers out in back of the courthouse and put a fucking bullet in their brain...
DONE........
...
Okay...
Let's say those 3 Duke LaCrosse Players went to trial and the Prosecuter presented a case that the jury bought.
3 bullets should do the trick.
...
Now... where do I wash my hands?

I'm just pointing out that the Justice system ain't perfect. Neither is Law Enforcement. I'm not saying the crime is acceptable... it is deplorable. I just have a differing opinion on the punishment.
I used to be in favor of the Death Penalty.. and probably would be saying the same things as you are today. I've changed. I don't have the faith in the system i used to.
and I believe prison life is a horrible existance... and apt punishment for criminals. It is NOT the 3 squares a day, cable television luxury resort that you may believe it is. It is the loss of freedom... loss of identiy. It sucks and is definately no walk in the park.

Death penalty, is also removing them from society. Permanently.
You can't undo being dead.
..
Including the execution of an innocent person.
...
Again... what if the Duke LaCrosse rape case went to trial and the twisted prosecutor stacked his case and convinced a jury that those 3 guys were guilty? Haul them off to the firing squad out back? Is that justice? Is that America? NO. That's fucking IRAN.
And what if they were imprisoned and ran an appeal that uncovered the truth? Why would that be bad?
...
I am NOT defending Child Molestors or Criminals. The guilty deserve to be punished. Prison is not the happy playtime that people make it out to be... if you think it is... take a little visit to Rikers or Joliet or San Quintin and see how they live the life of leisure. Prison sucks... it is more than adequate punishment.

"Child molesters often feel great remorse once they realize the pain that they have caused by taking advantage of children. They realize that imposing their will on children and forcing them to do things they did not want to do was wrong. Therefore, part of the rehabilitation process, as well as any incarceration, must be therapy to help them see that molestation was not the correct way to ameliorate their stress or frustration and to find more productive and less harmful ways to cope with future stress and frustration in their lives.
Once they are once again in society, they need to have support groups made available that they can turn to in times of crisis to help them stay mindful of what they have learned. Most importantly, they need to have supportive families and friends who can help them to remain positive and to help them recognize the signs of distress in time to seek help." http://hfp.puellula.com/Polemic/WhatIs.html
hey COSMO????
maybe you missed this response.....
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
...
Okay... You got me there... i missed that one.
But, I'm NOT saying rehabilitaion. They can sit in remorse til the day they die behind bars. Someone else's response is not mine.

Id require absolute proof before personally approving or partaking in a death penalty. IE, DNA or a confession.

we agree on that
obviously we cannot say how we would react to such insanity. so again we agree and i have the same hope. i hope i never have to experience anythign remotely close to that. or experience those feelings. so again, we agree
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
i will help run with this one...
perhaps the divorce is actually the best thing for a kid? which is certainly true in some circumstances

All I know is if an animal like these fuckers ever got their hands on MY child, I wouldn't need 3 bullets. One would suffice.
Hi SPEEDY!!!

REHABILITATION!!!!!!
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Come on... Whose talking rehabilitation?
Lock the guilty fuckers up forever with the scary ass mother fuckers in prison. That is punishment.
Hail, Hail!!!
So, is that "revenge punishment"?
Or is it removing them from society?
You can escape prison.
You can get out of prison on good behaviour.
You can get out on an appeal, or a technicality.
Death penalty, is also removing them from society. Permanently.
You can't undo being dead.
Q: Where are all the pedophiles?
A: They're dead Dave. They're all dead.

It should be very commonplace, and simple.
Drug busts should not be jail sentences unless you're caught selling to minors. Period.
White collar crimes should not be jail sentences unless you don't pay back what you stole. Period.
Sex offenders and murderers should be locked up, taking the place of the drug bust and white collar criminals.
*EDIT*
And for the sex offenders and murderers, fair trials for all.
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Period.
So what do you do about all the overcrowded jails?
Increase the death penalty?
isnt it????
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
i shouldnt go to jail????
should selling 25 lbs. of heroin be legal????
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
