I really hate getting into this same argument over and over but here we go.
and your level headedness doesnt care that you tax dollars are going to keep these guys alive?
In my mind, you level headedness is suppoerting what they did by wanting to keep them alive and supporting what they did even though the words that may come outta your mouth says you dont support what they did.
I just dont get why folks like yourself wish for these folks to live when they are a burden on our pocket books and should be dead. Hell I'd love to be able to have my tax office take what I would pay and send the bill for that part to you and let you pay it since you want them to stay alive and drain my pocket book when I dont want them alive. If you aint worried that you are paying to keep them alive then you also have enough money to pay in lieu of those of us who dont.
Your welcome to think and believe what you want, but I think I'll go puke now. You make me sick.
Number 1: I do NOT support criminals but there you go on a rant telling me I do. Not believing in the death penalty has nothing to do with supporting criminals. The death penalty doesn't keep people from killing others. If they are going to kill someone they aren't going to stop to sit for a minute and think about the possible penalties.
Number 2: Do you actually know how the death penalty works? After all the appeals and extra court time due to it being what it is, a person put to death costs much more than having them rot in a cell for 75 years. So get your facts straight about your tax dollars first.
Number 3: Even though you end your argument in a personal attack I'm not going to sink to your level. You know why? Because that wouldn't make me any better than you. Bringing us to ->
Number 4: I think using the death penalty doesn't make us any better than the killers to begin with.
Number 5: I'm not a religious man by any means any more, but here is a good one from the top 10: THOU SHALL NOT KILL.
no disrespect but pure ignorance fits your profile. My community suffered the loss of a young couple a few months back to a murderer who had served his sentence for axing his mother to death and was released from prison despite objections from prison staff. He is now back in Prison. He should be executed today to save lives but he wont be.
Two young people just starting life together were brutally murdered for no good reason. Yeah...keep that murderer alive. Thats the ticket!
ls184, you dont put these viscious animals to death to scare others from following their destructive path. you put them to death because as long as they breath air they are a threat to decent law abiding people anywhere and everywhere, not to mention that staff that has to work in their midst to keep them caged up.
I'm very sorry to hear about the couple, that is sad.
Please don't start your post with "no disrespect" if you are only intending to attempt to insult my intelligence immediately after. I've given my reasons to oppose the death penalty. Here I'll sum up.
Cost. The fact that human systems are inherently flawed and prejudiced to some degree and innocent lives being lost too it isn't worth the risk. And lastly I believe it does not make us any better than killers ourselves. There. I probably won't need to post anymore to this thread as it will go up in flame wars like all the ones before. No one wants to calmly discuss the issue.
