QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 11:58 AM) Okay I can play along with those who want the death penalty abolished now that we are housing said psychopathic killer on the goverment dime for the next 30-50 years what about the following. Lets play make believe, lets eliminate the death penalty. Woosh, its gone. Now what. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) Who the hell talked about price. I still find it hillarious how people b**** and moan about hte rights of prisoners. They are in there for a reason. As far as I'm concerned they should essentially be slaves and work for everything (there wages will be a place to sleep and food to eat). And putting them to work, takes away a job from an innocent worker trying to make a living on the outside. Happened to a cable harness manufacturer I use to sell to. He lost his customer to a private prison who was using inmates. Eight of his employees lost their jobs when that contract went away. I am not b****ing about the rights of prisoners. BTW, the privileges that are being spoken about are important to the guards who use those privileges as rewards and punishments for good behavior. It makes their jobs easier. But, I'd have no problem taking all that stuff away and just making the guards work harder.

LMAO at it's ok to pay to house and feed some thief, rapist, hooker, small time drug dealer, bookie, but we damn well better not spend money on locking murders up. The people on death row amount to such a small percentage of what we pay to incarcerate people in this country. If money was really the issue, decriminalize marijuana and safe way more than on killing a handful of inmates.

Do y'all seriously believe if we started executing people daily and immediately, the gang member would throw down their weapons and stop committing murder? Would they go get jobs at McDonalds? :headshake

I've has the opportunity to hang around professional and serious amateur comedians and as a group they are the most pathetic people to hang with. Mean, paranoid, back stabbing, gossiping, unfunny unless on stage are just a few of the attributes that come to mind.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 09:45 AM) I'm starting to get nausious. later folks. I'm with YAS, I'm just repeating myself.

QUOTE(juddling @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 09:46 AM) I know this would never happen but if we were to give a person a fair trial....one appeal then if the death penalty is applied do it with in a month...it might help. Ever since i was little, i couldn't figure out how or why people sit on death row for 18 or 20 years. As far as being a deterrent...we excute a couple hundred gang members a year instead of 1 or 2 every 20....guess what.....some people might wake up. Texas executed 4 people last month. Gang on gang murders are #1 in most cities, these guys already face the death penalty standing on the corners, protecting their turf. Do you think they will suddenly drop the guns and pick up knitting needles if they thought the state might execute them in a year? GMAB

QUOTE(J-MAN @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) As a middle age accountant - one life is less valuable than another ? Anyone who kills another has no rights! What about the rights of the people who were killed? As a society we have decided that certain murders "qualify" for the death penalty. Cops, kids, multiples, during another crime, etc. and others do not. Either way a person is dead, but we value some lives more than others in the death penalty laws. What "right" are you speaking about for the victim? You are confusing revenge with "rights". We do not allow a robbery victim the "right" to go rob the thief. We do not give a shooting victim the right to later shoot the convicted. And this is about "rights" it's about the value of human life and who determines who is to live and who is to die. The murderer made that decision and should be punished. The state should not make that same decision.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 09:40 AM) We've been over this ground before Tex. The Death Penalty isin't a deterrent because it takes an average of 12 years to kill these assholes and it isin't imposed in a uniform manner. You and LCR should save your tears for the thousands of victims created by this piece of s***. LMAO, I'll kill someone as long as I get to sit on death row for 12 years!? Why aren't murders higher in states w/o the death penalty? Why are there still murders in Texas where we execute so many no one pays attention? These guys are shooting at each other. They face a death penalty leaving their homes from a rival gang.

If a warden strapped a visitor to a gurney, injected a lethal dose of poison, and they died, he would have committed a sin in God's eyes, and murder in the state's laws. If a warden straps someone down, who a jury ruled should die, then some believe it is not a sin. Funny how man's laws can trump God's laws. The hubris is amazing.

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?

When some snot nose punk wants a piece of Grandma, I need all night energy, that's why I always eat at the Early Bird Special at Luby's

I'm thinking how to make money off grandma . . . "When I'm trying to beat the last boss, and I've been at it for 21 hours straight, the last thing I want to do is take a break for my incontinence. That's why I depend on Depends adult diapers . . ."

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