All is forgivable, Adele. The death penalty is not needed, because, as stated previously, a lifetime in jail and isolation is taking the person out of society, which may or may not be the main reason for the death penalty; it depends on the person. For instance, it seems you advocate it as a means of revenge. Like Nathaniel (or someone) said, we are doing what we condemn them for doing, which is senseless.

all is not forgivable. how can you forgive someone who murdered say someone you love. malice forthought was involved.. all your mom did was wore a shirt someone didn't like... and because of that they decide how the are going to brutally rape and kill her... then do that. You can forgive them for that?

No weird news, but I almost saw a guy do a floopsie.

I think he's already blind, right Gladdy?

How does ''Pfft" insinuate blindness...?

It means he casts the idea off as unlikely.

No philosophising.
anyway if people didn't gouge eyes out in the first place then the world would not be blind

So now he's a philosophiser...

It's from the bible.
Well, idk 'bout the quote, but the concept, anyways, whether to be taken literally or not makes for quite an... active discussion.

Most things in the Bible are not meant to be taken literally.

Mine was from Dodgeball.

And it was awesome.
Oh well, I'm not gonna get in a bible debate.
'Religion's greatest power is that over reason.'

Some anchorwoman was "randomly attacked".

Randomly? I doubt it.

Not a strong story, but whatever.

I am not religiouis, never read the bible... so I wouldn't know that.

Nah, "Eye for an eye," is from the bible. The extended quote is from somewhere else, not sure where.

About the whole death penalty I'm against it (though I have had some doubts when reading about people such as John Wayne Gacy...), but a big problem I have with the death penalty is how many innocent people are convicted and sentenced to death. I would rather keep fifty guilty murderers in jail than let an innocent person be killed for someone else's crime.

What I don't get is why over the years, people have tried to make the death method more humane. If you're willing to kill them for what they did, does it really matter?

Nope.
Just people want it done with as little blood on there hands as possible.

Death is death, no matter how it is brought about. Killers that kill killers are still killers.
