Death Penalty

[Gordon Hayward]

my guess here is that you are a sock puppet troll of a butthurt Tyson_Chandler.



You aren't the only one whose butt has become swollen because of something I've said.

I can assure you I'm not Tyson_Chandler. But if it makes you feel better to think that, then go right on ahead.

I asked a simple question and received a simple answer. And you're doing an impressive job of reinforcing my original observation. Please continue talking about butts with your exceedingly clever wordplay, while you show off your rapier wit.

the death penalty has absolutely nothing to do with the right to defend yourself, your family, or your home. you better believe that if a sucker comes through that door im blasting that ass with the mossberg, but that ain't got to do with the fact that the death penalty costs an asston of taxpayer dollars that we dont have, as well as the fact that states with the death penalty have the highest murder rates. having the death penalty in your state actually makes people more inclined to commit murder, the proof is in the pudding on that one. I say let em rot in jail, save some money, but if they really want the death penalty and must insist then they can come see me, I'll blast that ass to Kingdom Come with no remorse.

Listen you're trying to bring the cost element into this. Listen if you kill them for coming into your home that's called the death penalty. If the state kills them for coming into your home and killing you that's also called the death penalty. If I'm somehow unlucky to kill them first and they end up killing me then l'd hope either my family gets to them or the state carries out capital punishment. It's the same concept dude. You can throw cost in there if you like to justify your position but you know dam well that if someone killed your mama or daughter and the state caught them you'd be screaming for their head on a platter. If not I don't know what kind of Indian blood you carrying.

it's a big joke, bro, because legalizing "soft" drugs like marijuana and cocaine would not only bring a ton of magically created revenue to the federal/state governments in the form of taxation, it'd actually increase AND save jobs at the same time

not only that, without marijuana and cocaine busts, where would the war on drugs be? ultimately, way less money would be appropriated towards down that futile, wasteful avenue, because they'd have a small fraction of the busts to show for their huge operating costs

I'm all for legalizing weed, but when you get to shot like coke it's taking it too far. We live in an impulse fulfilling, quick gratification society. People can't seem to help themselves. I don't trust people enough. Don't trust their self discipline to have unfettered access to coke. Coke is just too easy to get addicted to and to corrosive when addiction does happen.

so you're a clone of some other butthurt poster.

I feel no better/no worse over that revelation.

I'm not surprised that your reasoning leads you to believe me saying I'm not Tyson, is me saying I'm some other "butthurt" poster.

I'm not sure why someone would need to be "butthurt" to think you're a bootleg version of Chumpdumper.

The more you talk about butts, the more I can't help but think Chumpdumper would have much better retorts in this situation.

76 posts with 4 or 5 of them out of nowhere talking about me leads me to believe you are a butthurt sock puppet.

I'm not sure why someone would need to be "butthurt" to think you're a bootleg version of Chumpdumper.

You being butthurt is definitely not a requirement for you to attempt a troll job on me. You could have any number of reasons for this lame attempt.

My guess is still "butthurt".

good conversation

tbh I'm against the death penalty but I think prisoners should be made to do some work that produces goods worth enough to offset their incarceration fees. I know it would hypothetically take away some jobs from regular citizens, but the tax money saved from having to pay for their incarceration could be pumped back into the economy theoretically and that would offset it (?)

[TDMVPDPOY]

how much does it cost per execution compared to life sentence...

seriously execution shouldnt cost much, a bullet is worth all anyway, hence rope and shovel how cheap can that be

why waste money going through courts and appeals...

"Attempt" a troll job? You think I'm a troll yet you're determined to convince everyone I'm a "butthurt sock puppet"? I guess it's safe to assume you're easily trolled.

Regardless, it's hard to argue with someone who so convincingly proves their point by using terms like "butthurt sock puppet".

Chumpdumper would be faring much better right about now.

Um, I hate to let you in on this secret but we already live in that society. Anyone who wants coke is not going to have any problems getting it.

I don't think its that easy, I've had periods when got dry out there. This is for other drugs, coke is too expensive. Also when you move its not always so easy to just find drugs when you don't know anybody.

I know someone who is a recovering addict. From time to time she will go on her binges and the one thing that always gets me is she knows exactly where to look. Doesn't matter if it's a new city or a country town, she can get high anywhere.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

We'd spend far less money if we cut down the time from the sentencing to the actual execution. Why should these animals get 15+ years to file appeal after appeal?

Because they might be innocent you stupid

Great point! That way people who are addicted to coke will commit crimes and kill to get it illegally rather than visit a corner store to buy it legally!

[Prime1]

Like that would ever happen...

[DMC]

Death penalty needs to exist. I am all for any method of clearing someone however.

"Attempt" a troll job? You think I'm a troll yet you're determined to convince everyone I'm a "butthurt sock puppet"? I guess it's safe to assume you're easily trolled.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.

you're a butthurt sock puppet "attempting" a troll job.

Regardless, it's hard to argue with someone who so convincingly proves their point by using terms like "butthurt sock puppet".

there's nobody arguing that you are or aren't. Just my opinion.

Chumpdumper would be faring much better right about now.

one way to find out. I think you should go for it!

[Blake]

Dammit blake why do you have to act gay as we were all having a discussion about the death penalty and you just come in here adding a bunch of sexuality to the atmosphere.

Nobody but you is stopping you from pulling your skirt up and getting back on the topic.

[mingus]

Great point! That way people who are addicted to coke will commit crimes and kill to get it illegally rather than visit a corner store to buy it legally!

How does legalizing coke eliminate crimes related to obtaining it? People who are addicted to coke won't hold jobs if they have an addiction to it. For the majority of people, they won't be able TP keep a job while addicted. So where do they get the money then. You live in fantasy land. Hang around some real coke addicts. Then were going to have to pay taxes for all the people that develop heart problems because of usage.

[Blake]

skirt up? skirt down was the reason your wife left your fat mcdonald's eating ass, ED is a common complication resulting from diabetes you know. stfu already you're annoying.

Lol you're a dumb that gets his pussy swollen too easily

[Blake]

too bad you couldn't make your wife's pussy swell up nice and fat, she found someone who did though

So you complain about getting off topic but still can't figure out how to pull that skirt back up.

The swelling in your crotch is severe.

[Gordon Hayward]

It's amusing watching a defeated man act like he's regulating people by talking about their swollen crotches and butts.

On one hand; Against it. It just doesn't make sense to say, "you murdered someone...so now we are going to murder you."

On the other hand; If you guys had any experience in dealing with some of these heinous criminals...you might have a new perspective. As much as I hate to hear of someone innocent getting screwed...I also see these killers who have done the most horrible unthinkable acts...and, I'm sorry...they need to die.

Statistics are always used to try and support your OWN argument. If you are against the death penalty...of course the statistic you will trot out is that X state which supports the death penalty-has a higher homicide rate...blah-blah...

BULL- IN'- !

Criminals are keenly aware of what they are doing and how much they are risking---unless they are mentally ill. A murderer will know exactly which states have the death penalty and believe me...if they think they will get fried...they DO think twice about committing a capital murder. Statistics are bull . Only college students and people who live their lives vicariously through books and see the world through classroom discussions trot out statistics.

In the real ing world these statistics don't mean when you interact with dirtbags on a daily basis and see how they see the world. When you see how a lifelong criminal comports himself and how these so-called tough guys out on the street become little jailhouse lawyers using the system, abusing their friends,family,counselors,etc....

When you see this...you will not waste your time on statistics.

To the idiot that said that suicide is not easy to do in jail...you are a stupid dumb ...how ing hard is it to wrap a in sheet around your neck and hang yourself? It happens a lot. It happens when an inmate really wants to...but the fact of the matter is that they won't most of the time because they are tough in the outside world when they can pick on weak prey...on the inside they are the biggest pussies in the world. Except for a few who are dangerous,unstable and have incredible strength. Those guys are just dangerous anywhere and will always be a menace to society.

The death penalty is absolutely a deterrent to killing. Criminals are keenly aware that if they kill...they will also be killed. This is something that they can understand. This is something that somehow does not escape their comprehension. Opportunists are keenly aware of what is and isn't at stake. Only experience can help you see and understand this--not this in' classroom libertarian pussyfootin' about reality by viewing it through a goddamn filtered idealism.

[Gordon Hayward]

not like your ex wife's pussy right about now though. she must feel rejuvenated and young again, free from that ty relationship.

playa advice: if you ever want to find a new wife, the first step is to stop eating breakfast at mcdonalds every day.

" more crotch swelling butthurtedness. The only reason people think I'm pathetic is because they're butthurt from me owning them."

Death Penalty, Still Racist and Arbitrary

LAST week was the 35th anniversary of the return of the American death penalty. It remains as racist and as random as ever.

Several years after the death penalty was reinstated in 1976, a University of Iowa law professor, David C. Baldus (who died last month), along with two colleagues, published a study examining more than 2,000 homicides that took place in Georgia beginning in 1972. They found that black defendants were 1.7 times more likely to receive the death penalty than white defendants and that murderers of white victims were 4.3 times more likely to be sentenced to death than those who killed blacks.

In Texas, though, they do come close. In 2008, the district attorney of Harris County, Chuck Rosenthal, resigned after news emerged that he had sent and received racist e-mails. His office had sought the death penalty in 25 cases; his successor has sought it in 7. Of the total 32 cases, 29 involve a nonwhite defendant.

Since 1976, Texas has carried out 470 executions (well more than a third of the national total of 1,257). You can count on one hand the number of those executions that involved a white murderer and a black victim and you do not need to use your thumb, ring finger, index finger or pinkie.

Well, you might need the pinkie. On June 16, Texas executed Lee Taylor, who at age 16 beat an elderly couple while robbing their home. The 79-year-old husband died of his injuries. Mr. Taylor was sentenced to life in prison; there he joined the Aryan Brotherhood, a white gang, and, four years into his sentence, murdered a black inmate and was sentenced to death. When Mr. Taylor was executed, it was reported that he was the second white person in Texas executed for killing a black person. Actually, he should be counted as the first. The other inmate, Larry Hayes, executed in 2003, killed two people, one of whom was white.
