Re: Hate Crime
 

The main cost of the death penalty is due to the court system. Aside for the cost of a death penalty case, you have the costs for all of the appeals. Not to mention the cost of keeping someone on death-row for 20+ years while they run through their appeals. They need to speed up the appeals process.

Re: Hate Crime
 

Unfortunately, the death penalty does cost a lot of cabbage, unless were talking Saudi Arabia...it's pretty swift there and becomes a great deterrent.

Fixed

Re: Hate Crime
 

Here is what you said.... It costs more to put someone to death than it does to house them

Were you trying to say that it costs more to try someone in a death penalty case than it does for a life in prison case???

Once the appeals are done, other than an IV, a syringe, some meds, and a cardiac monitor, the cost is probably less than 50 bucks do to a lethal injection.

vs. the 19 grand it costs per year to house a criminal in FL

Inmate Cost Per Day

Most (58.5%) of the daily cost to incarcerate an inmate in a major prison is spent on security, followed by 21.8% for medical services. The remaining 20% is spent on feeding, clothing and educating inmates, and some administrative issues, as you can see from the pie chart.
Cost of Imprisonment:
$52.06 Per Day/ $19,002 Per Year

I'm sure you knew exactly what I was trying to say. I'm done arguing with you.

Re: Hate Crime
 

If he raped and murdered someone you cared about...what would you want done???

I actually had to run the victim in this call.

Much better to allow them to live the rest of their lives sucking on the government teat in prison instead of sending them to their death for murdering someones children, right?

Re: Hate Crime
 

Go find another thread to be an attention whore in.

Re: Hate Crime
 

Well, bravo! Did that make you feel like a real man? You know, for $1.99 per minute, you can call women whores all you want. They'll even let you wear your panties. I hope you didn't think that hurt my feelings. If I'm not mistaken, I was trying to politely talk in here and only lost my temper once. You're the one who came in here after and started an argument. So who's the attention whore now? I'm out and will try my best not to come back to this thread so if anyone else wants to call me names, please PM me so that I won't have to sit on my hands to keep me out. ;)

Re: Hate Crime
 

Your offer of charging me 1.99 a minute to talk to you is not appealing in the least. Nor do I wish to go anywhere near your panties.

Cant you just feel the holiday spirit and love in this thread? :D

Re: Hate Crime
 

:iagree: was just thinking the same thing....perhaps this is a case ofAttachment 45449....come in a few days after the thread is open and attack people.....guess it probably makes some people feel more like a man....

Re: Hate Crime
 

Now hold on a minute Marc, I think we need some pics before a conclusion can really be drawn here. :p

Re: Hate Crime
 

OMFG??? Is "Attention Whore" really that offensive? You've got to be kidding me...

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/attention_whore

Seriously, I realize she's female and a liberal like you but there are plenty of other things I could have typed that would have been offensive.

Re: Hate Crime
 

Well played sir...well played...:D

Re: Hate Crime
 

No problem, I'm glad we worked this out!!! :beerchug:

Re: Hate Crime
 

You want to know what annoyed the hell out of me. This complete John Kerry flip/flop posted not even 3 hours apart. How can you be a "die hard anti-death penalty person", but then have to re-think your stance on it if something happened to your family. If you feel that strongly that the death penalty is wrong, then it shouldn't matter if something happens to a friend/family member....your stance should remain unchanged. How can you say that a criminal shouldn't get the death penalty for killing someone's loved one, but then maybe you'd be all for it if it's someone you cared about?

Re: Hate Crime
 

I'm not being a jerk here but wouldn't this be right?

Re: Hate Crime
 

Works for me! And that wasn't even close to "snapped".

Re: Hate Crime
 

Enough with the personal attacks already. I'm overly sensitive today. I think I may have installed my maxi-pad adhesive side up.

Re: Hate Crime
 

My point was that no one knows what we're capable of. I said I might, I said perhaps. I didn't say I would. I was basically saying that I haven't been in that situation, thank God so how can I say for sure? I find it amusing that you had nothing to say in this thread until you attacked me, this was also after I posted that I was a girl. Did you attack me because you found out I was a girl and thought it'd be easier? That's how it looks to me. Do you have a problem with girls, Marc? Did your mom not hug you enough? If so, then I'm sorry for you. Enjoy Christmas if you celebrate it; I know I will.

Re: Hate Crime
 

Knew you were a girl when you joined the forum and told everyone. Hopefully you'll be reprimanded for your personal attacks. Merry Christmas to you too!

Re: Hate Crime
 

I never attacked you personally until you went off. Anyway, I'm done for now. Heading over to my mom's for Christmas dinner and if you think I'm a pain, wait'll you see said mom when we're late for Christmas dinner. Enjoy your day. :giggling: In fact, I declare a truce for Christmas. I can be the better person.

Re: Hate Crime
 

Works for me. :beerchug: When does this truce expire??? :D

Re: Hate Crime
 

I'm against the death penalty, too. I also believe we should not incarcerate criminals for life, because that's also a death penalty.

We treat criminals horrendously and I find it reprehensible. Just because someone kills an entire family of four, doesn't mean there's no good in the convict and that he's not a wholesome person inside. We have a civic duty to find the good, find the sweetness in everyone.

We, as a caring and responsible society, should educate the criminals by doing away with the current penal system and it's institutions and replace them with education centers geared toward rehabilitation.

In doing this, the convicted criminals would not have to live a life behind bars, but would be made into productive members of society, living, shopping, and working in our neighborhoods, baby sitting our children and walking our pets.

Yes, that's what I want. Convicted serial rapists helping my wife with her groceries. Convicted pedophiles working working the ice cream truck. Convicted murderers working at toy stores. Convicted thieves working for me running a cash register.

With proper education and therapy we can, and must do this for the good of society, our children's futures, and the futures of thier children.

Re: Hate Crime
 

For a minute I thought you were serious! :fdance:

Re: Hate Crime
 

YOU want the answer...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put convicted criminals in an induced COMA for their entire sentence...

they become much more manageable, they don't learn other ways to do crime from the other criminals,

AND

Its CHEAPER to maintain them...

No more question of a killing them... those that rape, child molest, committ murder, treason etc just put them into a COMA for 150 years...

If you want all the details just ask...

Re: Hate Crime
 

Just because I don't believe in one thing, doesn't mean it's a free for all. I don't believe that pedophiles can be rehabilitated. So why would I want them set free? You all can make fun all you want but I hardly think you know my entire value system or viewpoints just from a few threads of me saying I (a) don't believe in racism and prejudice and (b) don't support the death penalty. So go ahead, have your fun.
PS Marc, that truce is over whenever you want it to. I'd rather be civil but if that's not what you want then fine, have at it.

Did you not see the smiley face after the comment?
It's the internet...lighten up! Or apparently CP will have that nimrod Gore turn it off and I'll have nothing to do while at work....I'd have to resort to pissing off my co-workers.
