I am for the death penalty.

There's a saying every man is put on earth condemned to die. Time and method of execution unknown. So I guess you got nothing to worry about.

Salmineo @ 3:

I'll keep that confidential L.A.

Thanks for the insight.

Interesting eh? Execution by lethal injection, sugar, booze, stress, illness, accident, karma, whatever I suppose.

We're all in the same boat. It's a shame humanity can't learn to get along and just, well, enjoy life while we have it.

OT-Bridge collapse in Minneapolis. Best video on Fox, sorry gotta give due where its due. However Harris Faulkner should be reporting, she is from Minneapolis instead of these wanker lip flappers with flying lips but saying nothing.....

Ah Harris. What a doll!

Even if you "believe" in capital punishment, surely you'd agree that it's unreasonable ( I would argue obscene) to execute someone who was in no way responsible for the commission of a murder. Er, wouldn't you?

I've always admired the victims who find the courage to forgive, even though I can't claim with any certainty that I could do the same in similar circumstances. Like the man said-"what takes more courage? revenge or forgiveness?" I'd take it a step further: hatred/vengeance claims more lives than the one taken by force. Forgiveness? Not so much.

I didn't see a link or address/phone number in the original post. Any ideas about how people can register their opposition to this execution?

I don't care about teaching anything to a killer. I just want the killer removed from the earth, like a poisonous spider from the kids room.

eliminate.

Killers aren't born they are made. From that perspective we're all guilty for allowing that to happen.

So Harris Faulkner is married to a white guy, huh? Not that many years ago, interracial marriages would have been considered illegal. In some states, a black man who married a white woman could legally be executed for rape, for much the same reason as capital punishment is used now - out of fear and revenge. Interesting how far we've come in the past 100 years, and just how little...

Yeah we are a sad society. I've had so-called liberals call me sick just because I said that I was especially attracted to black women. As if it were some sort of a sex fetish aberation. Personally I think some people that call themselves liberal should look up the term "open Minded".

How the blue eyed devils ended up in this country seems to be missing from our History books.

You know, the ones that decided to wipe out the indians first.

I Don't care how they are made, born or whatever. I say eliminate them period. Having said that, addressing the underlying reasons for violent crime should be a priority.

Addressing the underlying reasons will prove a bit difficult to achieve by not caring "how they are made, born or whatever".

You can investigate social reasons for violent crime and there are many. Nothing wrong with that, but never remove the responsibility from the individual for their actions regarding the commission of violent crime. What ever the reason, they must pay. No excuses.

All of mans problems could be solved in an instant. But they won't be as long as competition exists.

I'm not sure what that means L.A..

nonny mouse @ 15:

The death penalty has nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with simple-minded revenge. It serves absolutely no useful purpose. In states where it is exacted, it does nothing to deter criminals or reduce the crime rate - indeed, in many of these states the crime rate is above the national average. The families of victims more often than not report feeling even worse after an execution; either from a sense of desecrated morality, or from a disappointment that it has done nothing to ease their loss. In far too many cases, mistakes have been made and innocent men and women executed. Sometimes even children, particularly in Texas. The death penalty is a failure, on any objective grounds you care to judge it, and its continued existence in the US only serves to mark us even further in the eyes of the civilized world as a country with one foot still dragging in the barbarian gutter. Get rid of it.

You put words to my belief beautifully, Nonnie. Thanks!
