Killing people is fine for those that trust the government to do the right thing I guess. I've never thought government was much good at building roads let alone deciding who they should kill.
i guess I should have put it in purple ink. Sorry you can't read sarcasm.

We have a few members that in my opinion are targeted by one with Reds. I wonder if that person stutters on the mouse as it is much easier to tag a post then rebut.
To be honest the images I have are funny and I laugh my butt off, but as they may be in violation of forum decorum I will leave it at that.

To tell you the truth, Goober I'm done with responding to one particular lunatic (until he really pisses me off at least-:)) I'm basically here for interesting discussion, to learn a few things and to have a few laughs- that particular moron provides none of the three. I guess I could laugh if he wasn't so pathetic. It's too bad, it's jerks like that pull down their whole generation, anyway Sayonara to that bullsh*t-:)

People that are always screaming for longer prison sentences are usually just vindictive.


I was thinking more in the line of "Self entitled"
Some people figure they or people that have been victimized
are owed justice and everyone should pay the bill.

Tattoo "GOOF" on his forehead and put him in population....

The good old days of shipping them to some far away Island.
Now that was cost efficient, and morally acceptable. lol

I didn't realize there was any doubt that people who have been victimized (by criminal activity) are owed justice. Everyone SHOULD pay the bill, it's a necessary expense that should be shared, after all we are all vulnerable. Besides these people have to be stopped in such a way as to prevent further loss/suffering in the future. Vindictiveness doesn't enter into it?

I think money needs to be spent on rehabilitation, altering,Changing, re-educating. Once that is accomplished you set them free.


Nope I don't think like you.... I'm not self entitled to a revenge paid by the rest of you.

So a person kills a couple of people- after 7 years it has been proven beyond doubt- the whole freaking world knows this person has changed- so you would set them free.

if they are rehabilitated, yes.

No need to flush money down the drain.

I used murder due to the massive impact on family,relatives, friends and the repercussions that follow thru for decades after a murder. I am sure you can think of the repercussions that the ones I mentioned go thru for the rest of their lives.
Taking a persons life is one where justice must be served, regardless of how the murderer has changed over their time in prison.

That's just the problem. Justice can never be served no matter how many years the murderer spends locked up.

The best scenario out of the whole situation is if you can rehabilitate everyone back to being a good and productive citizen.

When you take money, it can sometimes be replaced, when you assault someone, sometime they make a full recovery. When you take a persons life you cannot make amends of any sort for that. Life is irreplaceable and as I mentioned the ones who pay that lifetime price has not been addressed by you.

Perhaps you could address the ones who live the rest of their lives with this loss. Have you considered that.

Then have them pay for it.. They are the ones that feel the need for it.

I would not ask it of you to pay for someone's lifetime incarceration.

Why should I pay for yours.


Its a feeling of self entitlement.

Why do we need to fund a massive Karma system that never can come close to giving real justice?

You have no idea of the emotional pain that occurs when a life is taken.

Then instead of spending money on locking the guy up for ever, why not give or spend the money on the family?

I'll take the 1.5 million and only lock the guy up for 15 years instead of 25.
That will help deal with my emotinal scars much better.
