There are some people I talk to and some not. You're in the No talking to list. Only will say that you also want to control immigration as you just told Kneedown. So, you're not different than me. you wrote : Excellent post, Knee! I specifically liked your statement that foreigners stay out unless they have a specialty you need. That echoes my same thoughts on US Immigration policies! So what is that different from my stance ?? O please, don't tell me, as I won't answer you anyway. My stance doesnt discriminate based on color but simply on legal status! Can not say the same about yours! don't waste your time, I've my reasons why I don't answer you |

But it did still hurt. Not that it hurts that much, but it was not a nice feeling to feel someone sticking a needle in your skin in and out. And DR inmates that have tattos can maybe resist the sticking needle, but other's not and they will feel more than usual pain. But babies also get ammunization, so DR inmates should not complain. What a retarded rebuttal. LMAO Jenna...as they say, look at the source. |

GuDP may always prevail but in the end an eye for an eye will leave everyone blind... Very true, I like that that saying of : 2 wrongs ( murderers ) doesn't make 1 right. so, it's not right to execute murderers as executing murderers is state sponsored murder, and murder to IMO. I don't think that LI is a cruel death, but sill it's not a pleasant death either. Being sticked with a needle is not a comfortable feeling. It hurts, I have tattoo on my lower back and that needle sticking in and out, did hurt. I have six tattoos and it did not hurt. Just FYI...the needle is dragged to make lines. You are comparing totally different procedures to one another. |

More trite sayings that need to have their basic assumptions questioned. GuDP may always prevail but in the end an eye for an eye will leave everyone blind... "Everyone blind"? Rubbish. Almost everyone I personally know has never been to prison. Most people I know haven't even been convicted of misdemeanor offenses other than civil traffic tickets. According to this quote we wouldn't ever be "blind" because we are blameless in a legal sense. Amazingly, people do actually have the capacity to control their own behavior. 1. People who are for the death penalty don't believe that judicial execution is morally wrong. Therefore, there aren't "two wrongs" in this statement. The Pros might rewrite it as: "one wrong plus one moral imperative doesn't balance the equation, but makes it as equal as it can possibly get in this lifetime." 2. If execution is state-sponsored murder, then arrest is state-sponsored kidnapping, and income tax is state-sponsored theft. Some people think of the death penalty as the real "death tax." You kill someone, you pay for it. I don't think any death can be described as pleasant, but not all deaths are cruel in nature. Lethal injection is about as uncruel of a death that there is to experience, but if I had to choose a method to die by, I'd personally lean towards properly-weighted long-drop hanging -- instant, comatose unconsciousness due to a spinal cord dislocation followed by a painless strangulation. |

Not only does the 8th Amendment control in capital cases, it introduces special considerations. You must start out by using the correct legal definition of cruel and ususal punishment. It is not defined as, “Oh that sounds so mean and nasty!” ‘The cruel and unusual punishments clause of the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the imposition of a penalty that is disproportionate to the defendant’s “personal responsibility and moral guilt.” The USSC has ruled that the capital punishement, per se, is not cruel and unusal. The UN thought something different.  |

And Americans are supposed to give a damn what the UN thinks? |

I don't see that you can possibly consider the death penalty 'cruel and unusual punishment.' OK, I suppose if we still burned people at the stake it might be, but hanging, the gas chamber, the electric chair, firing squad and lethal injection (I think I've covered all the bases here but I could be wrong - if so, please tell me!) are most certainly NOT cruel. The only way in which they might be considered unusual is because we don't use them enough on murderers!
