More bad news for Leftys.....

I just got called for Jury duty.....

 

And????

 

It's about time ... been there ... done that ... many times over.

Don't forget to bring your Smartphone

 

Been called twice and sent home twice when asked if I would vote for the death penalty. I am one of the few that does not believe in it. I never figured out how two wrongs could make a right.

 

I'm with you on that one.

 

That's only bad news if you're incapable of fair and impartial judgment.

 

I never could understand why people hate the Government for spending money on educating, feeding and housing the Young, but are more than willing to feed, clothe, educate and build housing for Adults for life.

Exactly what is Fiscal conservative about that?

 

We have to "control" the uncontrollable, the criminal element or else they will run rampant. People always talk a good game about education, but it is low on the totem pole when it comes to funding.

 

Apart from the fact that I (and many others) repudiate the supposed "scientific" evidence that there isn't any deterrence value of the Death Penalty, it's the final solution to getting rid of the scum of the Earth.

And, how the phuk does it follow that getting rid of the scum of the Earth with the Death Penalty is a "wrong" ?

 

A government to protect corporations, aka private property and in consequence police. Nothing else. The rest in private hands, but hey, don't remove the protection of the state that is good. But giving healthcare, education to the people that not. But the forces of repression (police) must be in hands of the state, that they must protect our business.

 

If it is wrong for a person to kill, it is wrong for a group of people to kill by vote. Hey...this is my thinking. You do not have to agree and most people are in disagreement with me on this, which is fine. Punishment is living a very long time knowing you will never have what you once had.

 

Loong:

Thankfully, your opinion is both irrelevant, wrong and dangerous.

Crime rates have been demonstrated to be independent of the death penalty.

Secondly, the justice system has a habit of convicting and then executing the innocent. Since there is usually nothing to be gained by reviewing such cases. An execution of an innocent man leaves the criminal still among us.

 

Granted that life in prison isn't the ultimate in enjoying life. I know that I would certainly not want it.

However, three squares daily, athletic and other facillities, medical services that are denied to 80% of the U.S. population for financial reasons, TV, living among "peers" ..... and especially for queers .....it ain't that bad when one commits the most egregious crimes against one's fellow man. Let's face it the religious extremists choose life in the monastery which is a helluva lot worse.

So, the bleeding hearts are full of it when they claim that life in prison is as bad, or worse, than getting fried in the electric chair.

 

Thankfully, YOUR "opinion is both irrelevant, wrong and dangerous".

It is "wrong" because human filth should not get away with serving time for denying life (see my post to Coolwalker in the post above) to another human being. And, "dangerous" because to continue to live life (even if it's behind bars) is a helluva lot more preferable to being fried in an electric chair. And, most, if not all criminals know that.....even if bleeding hearts do not.

This bulls**t about "Crime rates have been demonstrated to be independent of the death penalty" ....is a bunch of crap and irrelevant. There isn't any scientific proof of this assumption. Granted there are some crimes of passion, and hellacious murders by cold-blooded, appropriately named, "psychos" that are not affected by the Death Penalty ......but that does not absolve this human garbage from getting equal treatment for the heinous crimes they perpetrated.

As to "the justice system has a habit of convicting and then executing the innocent." "HABIT" ?!?!?.....what sort of UNBELIEVABLE CRAP is that ?!?!?

This crappola may be true in some of the more efficient crime dealing countries. Or, areas like Singapore where, it is my understanding, one can still leave one's house unlocked, and there is literally no "drug problem".....but in the United States of America ?!?!?

One has to have the testimony of 1/2 a dozen priests plus a Mother Theresa catching the murder suspect with the smoking gun before one indulges in the "habit" of convicting any one of murder with the attached death sentence in America !!! Granted, there may be ONE innocent among a MILLION that might have been smoked unjustifiably.....but if those are the proximate odds to having SOME SEMBLANCE of Law & Order......so be it.

 

It's apples and oranges. My problem with the "you're no better than them" argument is that it doesn't make any logical sense. If we follow this line of thinking, then we are equally wrong for imprisoning kidnappers and hostage takers.

The justice system also has a habit of acquiting guilty people and letting murderers, rapists, and child molesters back out onto the streets. Which also leaves the criminal still among us. But I don't hear you complaining about this.

 

The death penalty for many of us has nothing to do with being a deterrent. We support it because it is our way of showing society that we will not tolerate the violent crimes that end in a death penalty sentence.

We are saying that if you choose to do this thing, we will put you to death for your behavior. I believe we should get rid of lethal injection and make it more painful for them actually. An electric chair that slowly fries them would be more acceptable.

 

aren't we all?

MY RESPONSE:

LIEberrhoidals are convinced that "Something fer Nothing"......"Spend as much as you can of other people's money & hard work" is the solution for all financial problems.

Buried in the sanctimonious verbiage of these Political idiots is their bottom line which is: Absolutely zero consequences for laziness, or lack of responsibility ....... society should take care and coddle this scum.
