QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) 350 copies?! LMFAO!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! I think the Cripps, nationwide, probably are responsible for that many deaths, either directly or indirectly in a month let alone a year. Lets do a little math here. 350x12 months x 20 years ( give or take ) = 84000 deaths since the Cripps were founded. How many thousands more are in jail because of the Cripps? Someone gets it. Yet, even after their fellow gang members have been executed, they still commit murder? I guess this isn't much of a deterrent.

The government decides who is to live, and who is to die. We are placing relative values on human life. This life is worth living, this one is not. Some of you trust the government to do that, I do not. Combined with the Catholic in me coming out, I find it much easier to believe that we Shall not Kill. Nuke wants to point out other sinners as justification for our sins as a society. I guess if the race is to the lowest common denominator, he'll win. The man does not deserve to see a free day for the rest of his natural life. No amount of children's books and community service will equal the horror he inflicted in many families. As a deterrent, (which some proponents of government sanctioned killing point to as justification) would he be more of a deterrent continuing to tell his tale from a cell block? A living, breathing, communicating, testimony to crime doesn't pay? When we as a society do not place the highest value imaginable on the sanctity of human life, we all suffer. When any life, no matter how despicably led, is worth saving, that sends a better message than some lives are worth living and some are not. That was the same decision he made many years ago, thast those four lives are not worth living, I don't want my government making the same decision.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 08:51 AM) The Bible is such a hypocritical book. The same people who said "Thou shalt not kill" were stoning women to death for wearing clothes made from 2 different kinds of thread. That argument just doesn't wash with me. Actually Nuke, God said Thou Shall not Kill, followers then, like today, did not heed his Word and they instituted the Death Penalty for crimes they saw fit.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 08:31 AM) You know, I can respect that opinion. I just don't buy into the fact that this cold blooded murderer is an asset to society. He isn't, and I don't think anyone here would argue that point. But is anyone locked up for any crime an assett?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 08:40 AM) Let's see. This P.O.S. has gone through the entire appeal process without any success. He's in the most liberal state in the nation, yet he's still on death row. But we might be making a mistake? I laugh at such crap. My earlier post was a general discussion about why the death penalty is wrong in this country. Sorry if I confused anyone. Yes he has. And you believe the government should be killing citizens. What does that say about how much we value life as a society? He should be locked up and never see the light of day. Thou Shall Not Kill. It doesn't say, kill if a jury finds the person guilty. Kill if someone kills a cop or child, but not a middle age accountant.

Yes, YAS he does deserve to die, just like all of us. No one is immortal. How he dies Yep Arnold don't wuss out. Stand up for what is right and spare the execution. It will piss off your GOP faithful, you should be strong enough to handle that. Though shall not kill. I can't believe some people trust the government to execute citizens, even after so many death row inmates have been exonerated. Our legal system is not perfect, the death penalty can not be reversed when a mistake has been found. I'm glad YAS and Nuke believe our justice system is perfect, that everyone received a fair trial regardless of finances, that premeditated killing is fine as long as it is carried out by the government.

QUOTE(mmmmmbeeer @ Dec 11, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) If I remember correctly, big Juan Uribe dumped Boras last offseason and promptly signed a 3 year deal with the Sox immediately afterward. If you're Joe "f***ing" Crede, having established yourself as a Chicago hero last postseason, knowing that the Sox have been oh-so patient with you throughout all of your struggles, knowing that the Sox WILL NOT negotiate with your agent which essentially spells your departure from Chicago, would ya dump Boras and see what a new agent could do in keeping you in Chicago? Has anyone "in the know" heard any rumbles of this being a possibility. I think Joe would have to believe that the Sox would offer him a reasonable long-term deal as long as he had a different agent, but would that be enough for him to dump Boras? If you are Joe Crede and watching as the greatest Sox batter of all time moves on to another team, do you realize it's a business, and the team will dump you in a heartbeat, so you better get all you can, when you can?

Oh thank God. We've been worried all weekend.

What makes this so cool, is it was more of the on field fit than the marketing dream that made this trade.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Dec 10, 2005 -> 06:41 PM) I’ve been curious as to why there isn’t one of those standard “Read This before You Post” or FAQ type of things to allow new posters to get up to speed on the site’s dos and don’ts. Since Soxtalk has been around for awhile, I figure it must be a conscious philosophical decision not to have such, rather than not having the time to do so. Just wondered what the reasoning was behind that decision. One reason is as soon as we print a list, there are some posters who will see how far they can push each rule. We are trying to handle this more like a family, than as a anonymous city. Sometimes it works well, other times it blows up in our faces.

As part of President Bush's Faith Based initiative we have these faith/secular law issues. I am a big fan of Bush's initiative and applaud Churches that offer help within the secular laws that are in place.
