NFBT - Don't kill convicted murders - Page 3

dollar1 · 09-10-2001, 02:03 PM

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.

Dollar1 I respect your belief not to have an abortion and I am against it as a form of birth control. That being said you still have no right to tell somone that they can't have an abortion and neither does the government. By the way Mr. Blond looking back on it I would have voted for Nader.

Zap them with half the power...Just enough so word of mouth could get around....

Nobody wants to die, but noone knows what it feels like, just like being born.

wealth and social status has always and will always be an advantage in all situations. Housing, education, legal, health-care, etc. The answer, IMO, is not in not using the death penalty on CONVICTED murderers. Your point is valid that wealthy criminals (like OJ) with their dream team lawyers can better work the system to garner lighter sentences. However the reason there is more poor criminals on death row is because that is who is committing capital crimes for the most part. Rarely does a wealthy man kill some clerk during a liquor store hold-up because the poor slob saw his face.

Party 1 asks a direct question, daring a response.

Parties 2 and 3 give spot-on answers.

Party 1 draws a 'distinction' out of thin air.

Denise, is that you?
