We do live in a world in which the death penalty has never been shown
to prevent violent crime, but many people still insist that it is
necessary. That does not make any sense.
One thing about the death penalty is that the killer, once
executed, will NEVER kill again.
THAT makes sense. Unless you are an idiot.

*One thing about the death penalty is that the killer, once
*executed, will NEVER kill again.
So there is another dead person. Does that bring the victim(s) back
from the deads? No. Does that give a certain satisfaction to the
victim's family? Not even. Had the perspective of being sentenced to
death has in any way stopped the murderer before his act? Of course not
(the USA would be the safest place on Earth... hardly the case..
Actually, the safest countries are precisely those where there isn't
death penalty like Canada, Austria, Japan...)
So tell me, what's the use of death penalty? To provide you the feeling
-but only the feeling- that justice has been done?

Should we execute Bush for lying us into a war that has
resulted in deaths of tens of thousands and wounds and
dismemberment for many, many more?
How about those who knowing aided and abetted him
in these deceits?
Why not?

Bill Richardson, New Mexico governor and old Bill Clinton apopointee was
interviewed on CNN, Lou Dobbs. He clearly said in response to a question
that he totally believed that Saddam had WMN, and, that a UN inspeictor
told him that the weapons programs existed! You can ask Dobbs for a
transcript if you don't believe it. He clearly stated that. So many people
believed it. Should we exectue them too?

Going to war and killing thousands isn't an 'oops'. When you make
life and death decisions it's your responsibility to get all the facts
and then double check the facts before you pull the trigger.
So, yes. We should execute public programmers for causing the death
of innocent people. Just because they wear a suit and have a fancy
tilt le doesn't mean they are smart, above reproach and are to be
believed.

So, does this mean you think we should execute every politician and
every intelligence network in every country that seriously believed that
Saddam had WMD before America invaded? I mean we're talking hundreds if
not thousands of people here. There are statements from almost every
intelligence agency in the world! Also, Bill Richardson stated that he was
told that by UN inspectors. Should we gas all the UN people who thought
that too and actually believed it?

People make mistakes, that's life. If we have a 1% error rate, that's

Until reading this posting, I thought HVAC had posted the dumbest

fascist rant with an answer. But this last posting from Brian Henderson
tops everything I've read.
Congratulation for being the biggest moron of the week. Let's hope

Then it is. Granted, I'm not all that worried, neither I nor my
children are likely to be in a situation where we're going to be
accused wrongly of murder, be tried by a jury of our peers and found
guilty. Most of the people on death row aren't saints, they're
slimeballs who, even if they didn't commit this particular murder,
probably deserve it for others that they were never caught for.
I'll take collateral damage in a second.

True. However, at least up to now, none of my mistakes have ever
resulted in the death of an innocent person.

You'll forgive me, I trust, if I say I believe you'd change your tune
pretty quickly if you were that innocent man.
if I can
get rid of 99 guilty ones (and by extension, stop the 99 other
innocent men those slimeballs would kill).
If they're in prison, you've already gotten rid of them for all
practical purposes. No need to risk killing an innocent man so you can
get your jollies frying the 99.
Then you wouldn't mind if you were that innocent man?
I think we both know the answer to that one. And whether he'd admit it
or not, Brian knows too.
Why are you such a *****?

With the new IBM call to the UN to ID everyone on the planet, why not put a
satellite controlled system to kill anyone without an implant and anyone who

That would definitely bring world peace, of course nearly all of the US

That would probably wipe out humanity, in about 24 hours.

We do live in a world in which the death penalty has never been shown
to prevent violent crime, but many people still insist that it is
necessary. That does not make any sense.
One thing about the death penalty is that the killer, once
executed, will NEVER kill again.
Do you imagine that that would be a great comfort to the murder
victims that follow?
THAT makes sense. Unless you are an idiot.
It is perfectly clear that that individual executed will not kill
again. What is not clear is what difference that makes if the rate of
homicide is just as high as it was. People's chances of getting
killed remain the same. The death penalty does not make anybody
safer. There is also the objective and well-known fact that there are
a number of countries without the death penalty and with much lower
homicide rates than the US, which has one of the highest in the
industrial world. I don't know, but it just might be possible that
other approaches would be worth looking into; that is assuming that
making people safer is a desirable goal.

It would be easier to breed that characteristic out of the human population.
The vast majority of people on Earth are not born killers, they are created
by economic injustice or deliberately brainwashing them into believing that
killing is a means for survival.
THAT makes sense. Unless you are an idiot.
The USA just spent 2 decades mind control programming their children to
accept killing as a socially acceptable way of life.
So, if someone decides to take a trip to England to shoot Jacob Rothschild
in the head, should Rothschild take up the issue with Ruppert Murdoch or the
manufacturers of children's video games which are really killing training
programs?
