    You didn't answer the question. I can't really comment about whether chadwick is a better person than any murderer - I don't know him, and it's not really for me to judge anyway. For all I know, he may be a murderer himself.

    i will tell you what i murder.
    i murder the green buds i inhale almost on a daily basis.
    i can kill a bong hit faster than you can blink your innocent little eyes.
    they are burnt to death as a sacrifice and inhaled for my soul's insight.

    i do not kill flies, ants, or any other bugs.
    no spiders are smashed in my home ever.
    i would never harm an animal.
    snakes and other reptiles are worshipped.

    when a child molester or some low life is put to death
    i sleep like a baby dreaming of cloud castles in the sky.

    true fact.

    My pickup has killing approximately 60 birds in 2 years. I once got seven in one week, but so far I've only hit one this week. For whatever reason, they like ambushing me at the last second by attacking the front of my truck. So far the truck is undefeated.

    But to make up for it, I purposely avoid hitting bunnies and squirrels.

    in the house, when necessary (like if catching it to put it outside is too difficult).

    and yes, I recently doused 3 anthills in my yard with some white powder so they don't overrun and carry my daughters away.

    see i'd have the small brain of a monster blown all over the wall before smashing a fly.
    fly is innocent.
    ants do nothing but be ants.
    birds are badass.
    birds should shit on more people.

    maniac psychopaths lack empathy and kindness.
    they torture, rape, and kill innocent people for pleasure.
    that's a sick fucker who should quit living.

    thankfully a bullet enters a skull at an alarming rate where it stops bullshit.
    it's like a small very fast fly swatter, a bullet.

    last summer a roommate left his window open and a million flies invaded.

    he bought a fly swatter and one day smacked a bunch of the buggers in the kitchen. i then went to the living room with a glass of water and got on my computer....i reached over for my water and took a sip and as i pulled the glass away i saw out of the corner of my eye....a fucking fly floating in my glass!!

    So, back to the topic at hand, I was thinking about the argument so many pro-death penalty people make to the anti-death penalty people - that if one of our loved ones was murdered, we would change our minds and want to see the murderer killed. Aside from the fact that many people have experienced the murder of a loved one and still not wished death upon the murderer, so the pro-death penalty argument is not true in these cases, what about the cases where this does happen - where the families suddenly change their minds and want the murderer killed? I actually think this is an important argument AGAINST the death penalty, not for it.

    People frequently believe something is wrong and would never want to do it, but then get caught up in their emotions and do things they regret. The way to limit this is to limit the opportunities we have to do things we think are wrong. For instance, I don't want to shoot anyone, so I got rid of my gun. With a gun, it's possible that I might shoot someone out of fear or anger, which I think is wrong and would regret later. Without a gun, that is not a possibility. I think it's the same for the death penalty. We need to decide what's right and wrong when we're thinking rationally, not leave our options open for life and death decisions to be made out of fear or anger. Isn't the ability to think and act rationally one of the main characteristics that supposedly makes us better than other animals?
