Chris, please, just stop while you're ahead. Listen, Osama Bin Laden took credit for the acts on September 11th, 2001. I don't think he should be killed (my personal view) but he is the one we will pin with responisiblity. And Bush did plan the attact on Iraq, but that other comment was just ignorant.
hmm, I think I will...though there is a picture comparing the 'osama bin laden' in the video where he claimed responsibility for the attacks to a picture from a later video, I wish I could find it, it's pretty damn funny, but, I will stop now...
Ahh here we go. Check it out: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/osamatape.html and this is that thing about Israel: http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=news_members&Number=293117686 Okay, now I'll stop...
Well fuck me running, man. Looks like you got me there. You know, I've always had suspession about it, but I've always just believed it... But, I'm sorry for what I said. We cool, brotha?
Right, it's easier to say you are than to actually fulfil it. You're a pretty chill dude. You're on my cool list.
Death sentence is based on emotional response. Allso this whole concept of justice is allso based on emotions. Emotions can not be included in decisions about a mans life. People seem to take for granted the "logic" that when a man does something he should get the same thing. Now where does this logic come from? From emotions of course. If you use a stick and hit a wild beast, it will bite you because of its hormones rageing in the bloodstream. Now, are we humans above that or not? I guess not since we have death sentence. I believe that jails should have the purpuse of detaining people for the protection of other people, not for punishment in its raw form. If we really want punishment, then why don't we torture the people in jails? Punishment is a primitive thing. Just keep them locked away for everybodies safety (to the end of their lives if it takes) and get on with your lives. I belive anyone wanting death sentence should take something to relax, like weed or a sedative. If we continue this war/punishment/anger/hate policy we will all end up in underground caves waiting for the nuclear winter to pass.
I dont suport the death penalty in anyway shape or form. God will take care of the person the way he see's fit when the time comes. Mankind is Gods creation and only he has the right to decide.
I support the death sentence, but only when a man is solidly proven guilty and has done a horrible crime. Hypocritical? Yes. But its human nature to be hypocritical, which is why the death penalty is still legal. For example, if a man beat, raped, and then strangled my mother to death, I'd want that little fucker dead. Yes, the man would probably be tortured more if he was left to rot behind prison walls for the rest of his life until he died, but I'd still want him dead. To me, a man like that shouldn't deserve to live. Anywaaaaaay, for people who want to bitch at me >_< When I say solidly proven guilty, I mean (going along with my previous example) that: The mans skin was found under my mothers fingernails Strangulation marks match the type of "rope" (or wire...) found in the man's home. The semen was a perfect DNA match to the asswipe. Etc... Etc...
What's the point in the death sentence when nobody knows what death is? Death is not a proven concept... it's only a theory that we have. It's just how like life is a theory. Life is only a word we made up to go with the definition. If nobody ever thought about it, the entire concept wouldn't exist to begin with.
OK, my post was long and probably didn't get read.... but at the end I included this: any other liberal folk opposed to the death penalty shocked themselves with thoughts like this before?!
but if we went down this path then surely there would be no point in many things? all we have to go off is our perceptions. Now there is a subject to ponder over.
Exactly. A lot of time wasted these days... I spend hours thinking about it. - and no, don't say I have no life, that is my life. Making sense of things as they are.
I know... I try telling people that. They assume that they just end up going to heaven if you believe in Christianity... but scientifically, life has never been proven and before you prove that an afterlife exists, I think the first place to start is proving that the concept of life in itself exists... I find a lot of people are ignorant about that, sometimes, then again, I've never really mentioned the subject until now.
George, some people say that religion is faith, but, not just religion, but all of life. I have Faith that the Creator of this world (which I believe is a physical plane) will guide me in the after life. I believe she is a being of light that is expressed in all living things, but in the purest for, in Nature.
Not all people want this. Some people are more spiteful, and would want them to be tortured. lol Some are more forgiving and would want them raped... Some, still, are more forgiving and would want to put in therapy to understand what they did (because it can work) and that's all. People have a lot of different feelings...
