    If there was a viable alternative to eliminating a pregnancy while keeping the fetus alive, I would be in favor of banning abortion. Until then, however, I am pro-choice.

    And if a criminal's mere existance threatens society, then I am in favor of killing him.

    But who is to determine that? A jury?

    Why would it not be a natural reaction?
    Why would it be? Are you talking about science or evolution? Predestination? I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from. The government is in place to prevent some "natural reactions" from happening for the greater good of society.

    What if some one who murders a person is sent to jail and kills a guard? Should he be put to death then?
    No, he should be beaten severely and put under tighter restraints... along with having his sentence increased, if applicable.

    It was a rhetorical statement... you can't really determine that. Chances are, if he's locked up tight enough, he's not threatening society.

    Unless he has magic witch powers...

    And that's your idea of a more humane solution? 40 years of torture? Death seems more kind.

    I mean we are all going to die anyway...not all of us are going to be tortured and imprisoned until we die.

    That should be up to the prisoner. If death is better, he can kill himself.

    Give them all a noose.

    40 years of torture?
    A bit of an overstatement... Such punishment would only be applied as a result of wrongdoing.

    Darwinism at it's finest, the reason your skin tone allows you to survive in hot environemnts better than mine...because he was caught at 18 he won't live to pass on his ed up genes or the biocultural, abusive, non respect for other living things evolution his parents passed on to him.
    Whoa man...you're a dumbass if you think things like murder are passed on to somebody through their genes.

    ...and I'd say the odds in his environment are probably 50/50 that at 18, he HAS passed on his genes.

    Kind of an "eye for an eye" argument. It's tricky, though -- if you throw in all the other Christian trains of thought like redemption and forgiveness. Are these things even truly possible with a guy like this? If so, the only thing we can really hang our hats on is vengeance and punishment in regards to CP. If not, I guess we don't kill enough people then.

    "An eye for an eye" isn't a true christain train of thought...it's a primary creed of the Torah and the Koran and only appears in the Torah portion of the bible...Christ never advocated an eye for an eye. He preached forgiveness, that was the major tenet of his preaching.



    And what that "an eye for an eye" train of thought gets you is the Palestinian Israeli conflict.

    Christianity preaches forgiveness, that's what separates it from both Judaism and Islam...at the same time...I don't think Christianity advocates total stupidity...and sooner or later the line has to be drawn...at some point a civilization has to step in and protect it's own citizens.

    And that brings us back to Protection vs. Vengeance.

    Both still in the bible and both used to promote one view or the other. I didn't say it made sense.

    That line moves a lot -- as long as we have a democracy and a common law system it will continue to do so.

    good riddance.

    the really sick part is that it has taken 19 years to finally get to this point.

    I'm all for public executions. If we're going to kill guys and say it's a deterrent, let's go all the way.

    Now why would you say that? That's a ing stupid statement...you don't think someone could be genetically predisposed to murder? To mental conditions that would make someone capable of murder with no remorse?

    You're wrong, there are no gurantees that will happen..but there's a damn good gurantee for assuring it won't happen. ...and other times...

    biocultural, abusive, non respect for other living things evolution his parents passed on to him.
    it's a family thing.

    How the heck does one order his last meal and can one really enjoy it knowing that after you've stuffed your face and feel that familiar sleepy feeling after eating a great meal that it'll be the last nap you'll ever take?

    I'd ask for beans so that I can let one rip just before I go.

    No I don't think they are. But I don't think there are mental conditions that are inheritable that would cause someone to murder a person.
