BEEBUG, Are you kidding me??? We are talking about this man STRANGLING this woman to DEATH and you are trying to equate it to stealing, speeding, and cheating? Wow. Do you have children? I wonder how forgiving you would be if it was your daughter that was laying dead in a shallow creek by the hands of some sick freak who just wanted to see her die in front of him. Yeah that sounds like the same category as stealing, speeding, and cheating.
BEEBUG - have you seent he prisons lately? Hello? Please educate yourself hunny. Do some research - try it really. You just might learn something. They are letting these "subhuman" people as you called them, out of prison because there is no room for more "subhumans" coming in!!! And what do the "subhumans" do in prison do you know? They kill in there too. Seriously, educate yourself.
It sounds like your issues go a little deeper than the real subject here. I am all for rehabing people who can be,(cheaters, theives, speeders,) but an eye for an eye is what I say for sickos like him. Bush isn't the problem here. Get a better arguement!
You have no critical reasoning skills so I do not know why I am wasting my time with you but I will give it a shot anyway. I have a feeling you are a religious right nutjob and then there is DEFINITELY no hope for you but let's try.
1) I am not forgiving him. Where did you get that from? You just wanted to rant so you made that part up. If you would read the posts then you would be able to follow the arguments and see how the subjects of stealing, cheating and speeding were brought up....so go back and read.
2) The reasons the prisons are full is because of all non-violent, usually drug-related, criminals that are sent to prison. All of the whackjob religious right conservatives are all about "get tough on crime" with total crap like the " 3 strikes law" that sends someone to prison for 25 years for stealing a Snickers bar.
3) Executing someone IS NOT A DETERRENT TO CRIME.Are you trying to deny that? Execution is all about vengeance and it dehumanizes the rest of society. Put him jail forever, period.... but killing him does nothing but costs a lot of money in a justice system so screwed up it cannot even dole out the death penalty in a fair manner.
All of the tough talk on this board is pathetic - you need to educate YOURSELF about the system instead of spending your days in your recliner in front of FOX news.
