I'm not so much against a possibly more cruel alternative to the Death Penalty, but I think that such tech won't be available for at least another decade: a system that can jack directly into the CNS and stimulate all sorts of fear and pain...continually...without causing true damage. That way, you could be pulled off the thing, and I'm sure that rehabilitation from such wouldn't be difficult, assuming that it was possible to cause the damage in the first place. People are so damn fickle and jealous |
Personally, though, I'm not morally against the concept of the death penalty. In practice, though, I'm not sure it can be implemented fairly by the state. |

I am for the death penalty when there is solid proof that the crime was committed by the person on death row. I do not believe death sentances should be handed out lightly. We're talking super bad things here. People make mistakes, and most people are deserve forgiveness. Even some people charged with murder. However, there are some things that take place, that I'm sorry, there is no excuse for. Around here, in the past few months, there's been three cases of infant death. The first one was microwaved to death, the second found drowned in a port--o-john, and the third in a mop bucket. This, is inhumane. There is no excuse except possible insanity and I'm not referring to the temporary kind. Ma and Pops best be in jackets and trying to chew themselves for the rest of their lives before insanity is an excusable defense. And parents that kill their children? It's sick. Jeffrey Dahlmer. Shit like that. You can give me the whole "we can't be gods" but you know what? Fuck that. This is OUR society. Has to function because we need to know how to make decisions. |
Life, in general, is unfortunately cheap. |
and i maintain humans are failable. which is why the death penalty is stupid. so is bride burning. alright, everybody off my world. |
thanks, nate. i won the bet. |

if you look at the statistics, which i don't have the time or real want to look them up and place them here for you, black men are on death row. occassionally a white man will pop up, but it's overwhelmingly black. besides *begin the flowery music* people make bad decisions and i think that they should be held accountable, but also be able to work past those decisions. we're all different people when we are 10 than 20, 20 than 30...hell even today than tomorrow. i don't believe this belongs here, but i don't want to start a new board. i just woke up from a pleasant nap and i had the most amazing dream. i was watching cartoons in a beautiful old theater as a child with a woman who wasn't my mother, but was. i kept sneaking out to run to this garden behind the theater. i was running along and i could literaly smell the flowers as i was running. my hair was blowing in the wind and the water from a fountain gently spraying somewhere in the garden. i could feel the cool cement sidewalk as i was running to pick up a particular plant that i took to a secret spot and then would bring it back to its previous place among the other plants. i don't recall my senses ever working so well in a dream. |

Yeah. Most dreams I have are usually nightmares. and I get them all confused with reality. |
