    Virginia is set to execute a woman next week after the governor refuses to grant clemency or issue a stay.

    Justice in America is apparently no better than in Iran where women are stoned to death, buried to the neck in sand so they can't defend themselves.

    Here in Virginia she will be strapped to a table and injected with poison.

    From a story in the Washington Post.

    God, what a naive statement. The woman plotted and had her husband and stepson executed, and you are going to equate that to a woman in a fundamentalist Islamic country being executed for showing too much skin, or being raped and therefore an adultress under strict Islamic law.

    Interesting comment indeed!

    However, do you think the death penalty is fair in either situation?

    To even ask if I think the death penalty in hardline.fundamentalist Islamic nations is fair is ludicrous and a bit insulting. Of course it's not fair and I feel constitues murder.
    But in regards to the death penalty in the U.S., in some instances it is the right choice.
    In this particular one, not really.

    if someone actually did something to end up on death row. i can;t feel sorry for them at all. i do feel for their families and the family members of their victims though.

    I think its wrong to kill another person, its even violating the very basics of the christian religion. I can let myself get killed, thats my own right but I cant kill another person.

    Richard Scott Baumhammers (born May 17, 1965[1]) is an American immigration attorney and spree killer who began a racially motivated crime spree on April 28, 2000 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania which left five individuals dead and one paralyzed...

    On Jan. 19, 2010, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell signed an execution warrant for Baumhammers. He was scheduled to be put to death on March 18, 2010.[15] On February 28, 2010, one fucking asshole Allegheny County Judge Jeffrey A. Manning granted Baumhammers an indefinite stay of execution,. Cause Jeffery Manning gets blow jobs from Baumhammers mommy ...

    I just love paying taxes to keep this fool healthy..
    No really I do.. :rolleyes:

    Heres a little more information about the state of Pennsylvania. There are 26 state correctional centers here. Why is Richard Baumhammers residence at SCI GREEN?.
    Why, cause his mommy and daddy have money.. :eggnog:

    Should you be on death row... You would be shipped across the state to inconvenience your family and friends from visiting you.. Baumhammer belongs at SCI GRATEFORD, there he can sit and wait his death, but lets not provide special privileges to the motherfucker cause his parents are rich... $$$


    Why should Mr Baumhammer be so speical>. The victims families cant see their loved ones at all. Yet once a month Baumhammers mommy and daddy come visit him..

    Only 35minute drive from their home, Both parents would become faculty members of the University of Pittsburgh's School of Dental Medicine and would open a successful practice on Fifth Avenue, near the university...

    time to make some space for someone else..

    In certain tribes its allowed to kill a man but only under strict circumstances and with a spiritual aspect to it.

    Was that a response to me? Not sure I'm following you.

    Americans is probably more accurate.

    It's kinda ironic if one person holds both views.
    But, I guess some see the death penalty as a punishment and abortion as murder.
    They'll happily see an abortionist dead.

    Did you think about atheists murdering atheists?
    Can a Zombie* kill a Zombie or whatever?
    Maybe yes what do you think?

    I was just questioning how you said: It's even violating the very basics of the Christian religion.

    My response would be...and? what relevance would that have to non Christians?

    So I asked what about non Christians? Their not going to be too concerned about the basics of the Christian religion.

    Regardless of your views on the death penalty, comparing executions in Iran to the US is pretty lol.

    Well, odon, if the president calls himself part of christian religion and under his responsability murder is legal (war, death penalty) that is at least scizophreniac.
