What say you Planet?

I would need to see a picture of your wife first.

Seriously, I wouldn't expect my wife to back me up on a multi-state killing spree. I expect loyalty from her in general, but a multi-state killing spree is beyond the line.

You really think that the jurors who deliberated on that sentence are as flawed as a pack of doped-out thugs on an interstate killing spree?

Are we just supposed to lay spread eagle for the scum of the earth and take whatever evil they decide to inflict upon us because we aren't gods?

Jesus can turn the other cheek. I want justice.
Is this eloquent enough for you, Mic?

frazod said it well, IMO.

I have no moral authority either way.
I'm fallible and only capable of such much understanding.
That alone should be enough to do away with capital punishment.

No murder convictions at this time. I know I'm not a thief, rapist, mollester, scumbag, woman or child abuser or murderer.

It amounts to my ability to sleep at night knowing I'm a decent human being, good citizen and great neighbor to have because I'm a moral, honest and hard working, father and husband.

What does your willingness to put yourself on the cross with this guy amount to though?

Using another man's argument?
Shameful.

Arbitrarily? ROFL

That is a ridiculous argument.

You're right. We're pussies if we value life absolutely.

More eloquence.
Leave the discussion to the adults.

I'm not in a city....I am in a rural area, and we're taught to help others. My grandpa did it, when I was a kid I watched my dad do it, and I always have. I've posted a thank you because some decent men stopped and helped my mother last year, so I intend to be the guy, that will help when I can.
I understand and I commend you for this attitude. If I'm ever in a bind, I hope you're the next one coming down the road.

That said, I tend to limit most of my assistance to calling for help via my cell when I see someone in need. A woman or young person might change this. Just seems too risky to do otherwise, for many different reasons.

Agreed. MicJones you have a right to believe what you want to believe, I just see it differently. I feel for the family of the victims, and in my opinion, if I were them I would want justice. Why should he live when he played God and helped decide who lived and who died.

Fallible simply means, capable of error.
Liable to make a mistake.

If we're all equally prone to error are we really in a position to make irreversible decisions on the lives of other people?

PhillyChiefFan 08-07-2008 11:09 AM
It is scary to think how an act of kindness could be the last act you make.

Redrum_69 08-07-2008 11:10 AM
