So, Scott Peterson's going to be executed.
What do you guys think about this? Do you think he should have gotten Life, or Death?
My answer to that is based on the fac that I've pretty much opposed the Death Penality for a while now. I was actually shocked when I heard that capital punishment was legal for people under 18, a policy that was made illegal by the Supreme Court this week, and none too soon. Executing people who did crimes when they were under 18, even if the crime was really fucked up, is just fucked.
I've just been generally opposed to the barbaric practice of execution. The whole thing is just so the victim's family can get their "revenge", an eye for an eye. It's like the victim's family can't relax until the guy's burning in hell, whereas I don't give a fuck if most of the people given death sentences hang or not. Coupled with the stories of innocents being executed then finding DNA evidence finding them innocent, and the whole thing seems stupid.
-
Indeed it is. I am personally opposed to all forms of the death penalty with the lone exception of desertion during wartime.
-
Death is actually less barberic than life in prison. Yeah, he knows when he's going to die, but he won't have to worry about shit like rape--not to mention that he'll get a pussy death--he won't feel a thing. In prison, he could get AIDs or a brick over the head--that and if he ever saw parole, he'd be a frail old bum when he got out. Anyway who cares what treatment criminals get? Why do they even deserve mercy when they've refused to show it? But that's a whole 'nother can of worms...
-
It costs millions of dollars more to execute someone than it does to keep them imprisoned for life.
-
I've never seen the death penalty so much as "eye for an eye", but more like preventing the sicko from ever committing the crime ever again. That, I'm for. I can't call myself well-versed on this case, but I don't think Dean Cain (ha ha) is a continual threat to society. He probably just got death because it's a dumb high-profile case (for whatever reason). I never got why I'm suppose to give a damn about Laci Peterson more so than any other victimized preggers woman.
-
What gets me is that he has a lot of fan girls!!! :blink: In fact it was reported on CNN.com that two women called the jail seeking to marry him! :blink: What a couple of sick puppies! :joe:
-
death penalty is a no no. put his ass in prison forever!
-
I wish liberals never got a say in the penalty. If the death penalty was a thing to be feared, people would be less apt to commit crimes in today's world. Not only that, but just beheading someone without question would be very, very cheap. Granted, the investigations would have to be far more involved inorder to prove the party guilty.
-
all the countries in the world should have the same penalties that singapore has. thats the only good thing about singapore, no thieves or murderers or nothing.
-
I wouldn't go THAT far, but the way we treat criminals in this country is outrageous. They have fucking cable TV and videogames in PRISON--there's just nothing right about that. The whole point of jail is to not want to be there--to want to go back and behave--not be treated like a child in timeout. Yeah, there are bad aspects to prison, very bad aspects, but we LET people become like that in jail--no penalties for gangs, prison rape, etc.
-
Kill the fucker.
-
Thousands upon thousands to execute someone. A bullet is so much cheaper, quicker......
I'm all for the Death penalty. I'm of the mind that the United States should be more like Texas and USE THE GOD DAMN DEATH PENALTY MORE OFTEN. Jesus. Lethal injection my ass. You shoot someone in the head with a high enough caliber they aren't going to feel that much before their head explodes.

Let the homosexual perverts skull fuck him to death, and then have them and the terrorists have death match.

why?? how much cost the injection?? i didnt thinkit was expensive :S
-
A bullet costs practically CENTS to make, compared to an injection?
-
Plus, I dunno why they use sterile needles to kill someone.

Yay!!!! :lol:

Nooooooo :(
-

but how mucchh
-
Well, it comes down to the fact that the state charges outrageous amounts for material--for example asprin in hospital add $65 on to a bill. I can only assume it costs somewhere in the lower thousands for all the material to do a letal injection... Granted in would only cost less than a hundred to do it practically...
-
psht, they dont even need any poison or nada! they just need to fill the injection with air and stick it in the guy's heart and presto!
-
That'd probably be considered "cruel and unusual" by hippies...
-
killin someone else is cruel and unusual too, but hey you can do it cheaper
-
Yes it is. I just don't understand why people feel for monsters when they cry... Or why anyone listens to the people that do.
-
Why waste the time with an injection? A Bullet! Or a Guillotine! That was quick!
-
See? Tfe whole point of execution is exhibibtion of righteousness, and instating punishment on "bad people" or "monsters".
-
Yes. Most of the time, you label death row inmates, serial killers, murders, and other criminals "monsters" or "evil" or "bad", when you should label them "human".
All humans have the capability to kill one another, we get it from our animal side. Look at animals in the wild, killing each other for mates or territory.
I know other groups of people who have labeled others "monsters" or "evil". The christians labeling the muslums during the crusades, Hitler labeling the Jews, the terrorist labeling Americans....
-
The death penalty exists merely as a deterrent for commiting crimes. If the deaths were brutal, cruel and unusual, it would better serve its purpose. Shame. As for labeling criminals, its a farcry from the innocent being labeled. Wait until you're getting "bass taped", I'm sure you'll be calling them "fellow humans".
-
So you really think I deserve to be beaten, stabbed, and raped (not in that order) by a bunch of sweaty, bald, tattoed muscle men?
-
That's how I roll.
-
So, does that mean you enjoy being the reciever of the beating, raping, and stabbing, or the giver?
-
Neither. I'm selfish that way.
-
They have fucking cable TV and videogames in PRISON--there's just nothing right about that. The whole point of jail is to not want to be there--to want to go back and behave--not be treated like a child in timeout.
And with cable and games, In a very bad timeout by lazy no-good parents.
-
BINGO.
-
So prison is run by hippies now?
-
Dr. Phil needs to run prison.
-
I'll say.
-
"Warden, what's wrong with you!? You've got the tail waggin' the dog here! You need to teach them if they choose the behavior, they choose the consequences. Now you go down there and strip that boy's room to just a mattress and a clean sheet! And buy my new book!"
-
You could probably kill a man with that book.
-
Ha ha ha. Little Swimmers.
-
Yeah. I think it was funny just because it was at Crocodile Cal's Blue-Eyed Lagoon...
-
:lol:
-
According to the Washinton Post's website, it's apparently been changed to Crocodile Cal's Outback Beach House... The description is funny though "a series of barrels will drop over 100-gallons of the 'wet stuff' onto patrons."
-
The wet stuff. Huh huh huh.
-

D was in jail for one day and he talks like he has been there for years
-
I have a sign ready for when D posts...
-
:lol:
or something like "beware doug, children crossing"
-
Guess it's just me, but I have a difficult time attaching the term "pedophile" to someone accused of an unproven encounter with a girl who was what, seventeen, when a 9-year-old girl was kidnapped, violated and suffocated by a career pedophile now crying and trying to blame it on his drug-induced haze. <_<
Which is kind of a shame because there were some good digs. :lol:
-
Damn sicko!
-
Speaking of underage shenanigans, a complaint was filed against my old high school teacher for fondling a student. She's even gonna lose her retirement plan!
That's good, because she put me through a ton of shit with credits.
-
I'll blame what I want on Doug, when I want and however I want to present it. Besides, I think it's creepily pathetic that a 23 year-old man hangs around 15 year olds. WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT SAY?!
-
word my g, word.

That he likes them young and tender?
-
Oh please, I'm not pontificating. I've had enough of that from all the people here who think Terri Schiavo's liquefied cortex can be magically regrown if her parents wave enough balloons in front of her face. Think & say what you want. I was merely reflecting on the disparity level in terminology.
-
I know this sounds cruel but they should have let her die in the first place. I already told Nuri that God forbid something like that happens to me, I want the tube, plug, whatever fucking pulled!

Where the fuck did that come from? Anyway, the media's gone and made this case a fuck-load worse for the families--now that Special Interest groups are involved. The best they can hope for is a third party snuffing her out with a pillow so her husband isn't labeled for the rest of his life.
-
Where the fuck did that come from?
Apparently from watching the 4-minute excerpts from the 4+ hours of video her family took of her in which her random tracking movements appear to be actual responses. The uber-religious up here are convinced that the only thing that stands between her and recovery is her evil husband and that her brain will reform itself in response to his departure with enough prayers. I had the temerity to side with years of proven medical fact, so I'm now having a blissfully private day. :)

The only 15 year olds I hang out with are family members.
... I realize that sounds bad.
...And I don't swing that way. Although knowing Zero, he'll twist the truth to make it sound like I'm not only a pedo but I screw family members worse than an Arkansaw native. He's worse than a conservative republican.

That is truly disturbing.
-
What is really disturbing is what I saw on A Current Affair tonight. You guys think I'm bad....
Some 16 year old met two 24 year old guys online on a blogger, seduced them, started going out with them, and convinced them to kill her mother.
What's worse is her father's defending her, saying she's a nice girl. The bitch killed your wife dude, get a clue.

Kinda makes ya wonder what THEY do at night together, eh?
-
Plus, I dunno why they use sterile needles to kill someone.
I was watching a movie my mom rented called 'Into the Ashes,' and this Jewish Doctor said pretty much the same statement about Dr. Mangalla and his (experiments).
-
Mengele
-
I probably got the concept from there, but Im serious. They spend alot of money to make sure the room is sterile.
-
Probably because as dumb as it sounds, the victim's family could create some frivilous lawsuit on how using an unsterilized needle was "cruel and unusual". While they're probably covering bases, it's still fucking stupid.
-
They should execute them then, like they should that Lady in Florida who can't move. Shut up you damn whiners, it's only the husband's and her family's business.
-
Agreed. Someone should just, I dunno, fling a pillow onto her face and get it over with..
-

Fling a pillow?
-
Smother her.

I'm eagerly awaiting news of the lawsuits from families of OTHER people in that hospice who have had to put up with all the chanting, drum-beating, bullhorn-hollering backwoods country fucks outside. If I had a loved one in there trying to pass his/her last days peacefully, as is the main purpose for hospice, there'd be some signs up people's asses. Or the firehose out the window. :angry:
-
A firehose? Really? Damn.
I dodn't know tha tblack people could protest too.
-
A firehose? Really? Damn.

Yes, yes they can. And it seems white people can't spell. :P
-
As opposed to niggaz?
-
MegatronYES doesn't exactally look white...
-
So MegsNO is the bro? :unsure:
-
MegatronYES doesn't exactally look white...
I have never seen a picture so I didn't know. All I know is that he sounds like Ray Romano. ;)
-
Well, here you go:
-
WTF. oO
-
WTF. oO
I'll say. What the in Sam Helbling is he doing!?!?
-
I don't know, but I think it'd be funny if his pants ripped or something. Whose sandals are those?
-
Megs is blancing himself on sponges in that picture. In this picture, he's Carl:
-
No, those are sandals. And that picture is creepy, moreso than Megs wearing red platforms on his hands.
-
So they are... But I fail to see how MegatronCARL is creepy. He looks like a good guy if you ask me...
-
His nipples are pointy.
-
I hope he doesn't always walk around shirtless. He's gonna stab someone's eye out.
-
Well, here you go:
For some reason I can't stop laughing at that picture of him.
-
I can, it's hard to laugh while you're dry heaving.
-
His nipples are pointy.
well thats the first time i've heard a man talking about other man's nipples
-
I can't say it's my first...
-
I remember my first time. Locker room, when my friend only had hair around his nipples. Not on his chest, not on his stomach, just around his nipples.
-
Like one of those chocobo forests. Catch his nipple and you can ride it for free!
-
For some reason, I just thought of The Rescuers...
-
Bernard and Miss Bianca are definetely gonna have a tough go of that one.
-
I just had a vision of them rappelling down his pointy brown teets to save some sad-sack kid from his drunken Baptist step-father...
-
...who later gets impaled by said teats.
-
Well, you know they're bound to get captured being fucking mice and all... Who else is gonna save the day?! A half-retarded pelican? I THINK NOT.
-
He could if he had a feeding tube. Why then he'd be an American hero.
-
But only in Austrialia...
-
No way! You have to be tougher than that. Wrestle a croc! While wearing the feeding tube! (Either you or the croc.)
-
I'd like to Crippy, the feeding tubed croc...
-
Five bucks on Crippy.
-
Feeding tubes make good lassos & tripwires. Advantage to Crippy. :P
-
Six bucks on Crippy.
-
:lol: You guys remember when Jimmy and Timmy joined the Crips because they thought it was a club for the disabled. LOL!
