NFBT - Don't kill convicted murders
 

Sorry about the polical topic. There was a post on another thread about how can Bush sleep at night know that an "innocent" convicted murder might be subject to capital punishment.

THIS REALLY CHAPS MY BUTT!!

It never ceases to amaze me...You can't kill a convicted murder for the off chance that he was innocent. Probability of innocence: 5 in 100. The killing is a form of punishment and deterence. The murder had a choice and took a life.

Yet, it is prefectly sane to kill perfectly innocent kids. Probability of innocence: 100 in 100. The killing is for convience. The kid had no choice so his/her life was taken.

Talk about backward logic. 100 years ago, imagine anyone allowing babys to be killed, yet rallying for criminals??

Sad

Anyone that is FOR abortion has not borne any children. If they do have kids and still believe in abortion...they have to have a heart of stone.

And, from way out of left field.....

Ok, football season has officially started. Let's stick to the theme of the board shall we?

That's your choice. Today was my daughter's first day to ride the bus to school. It was hilarious. It TOTALLY steams me when someone gets holier than thou on capital punishment and yet is selfish enough to say "its my/her body, do what you want".

Again it came up on another thread, I was too steamed to let it rest there!!

The topic said N F B T !!!!! . DON'T OPEN IT!!!

Being against abortion but for capital punishment. You are such a hypocrite. If god forbid your daughter got raped you would be screaming up and down for the right to have an abortion. You sound like a typical republican who preaches about getting the government out of peoples lives but wants to tell someone what to do with their own body.

If I am for abortion and against capitol punishmen, does that make me a hypocrite?

Absolutely not. Abortion is still a womans right. The death penalty seems like a good idea when you think about it but in reality it is unjust because it discriminates along the lines of class.

no, It "discriminates" against those who choose to take the lives of Other Innocent persons while in the midst of a second crime.

But I can see why you'd rather support extinguishing innocents over Murderers, convicted by a JURY OF THEIR PEERS.

~this conversation could wait until March again.

Oh yeah Iowan well how many wealthy murderers do you know of have been put to death? That's what I thought.

I only personally "know" one person on death row, not on a "friendly basis" for the record.

He killed and raped a reeruned girl. He was white and came from a moderate income home. The state of Missouri cooked him to a medium/well and did the world a service.

white.
Middle income(not poor)
Dead.

~service to the world.


I grew up without money but managed to make it this far without robbing, raping, or killing while on a crack binge.

I want Justice for all.....even if it isn't pretty.

I said somone who is wealthy not moderate to middle class.

Punkin,

If more wealthy white men were executed would you support the death penalty?

Seem to remember Ted Bundy being relatively well off.

I don't recall OJ Simpson getting the chair.

Jeffry Dahmer wasn't exactly eating spam....Ted Bundy was well off......dead too.

John Wayne Gacy was fairly well off, and had many connections in different government offices in Chicago.

O.J and Jeffrey Dahmer were both in states where the death penalty was abolished. Bundy was an extreme case of a serial killer. The simple fact is we have a flawed system where 9 times out of 10 money will put you above the law.
