Culture of Death (ZOT!!! His appeals exhausted, and clemency denied, troll goes to the chair.)

George W. Bush during his six years as governor of Texas presided over 152 executions

I doubt that I'd have been that lenient with the lowest scum in our society.

[misharu]

My opinion, pink? Ok, here goes. . .

The whole article was written on the basis of being against the death penealty. Therefore, it is prejudicial to an argument FOR the death penalty. Whether George W Bush had disregard for those on death row is inconsequential. The inmates were convicted of a heineous crime by a jury and given the death penalty. Isn't the jury system one of the basis of our legal system?

Karla Faye Tucker deserved to die for what she did. She freely admitted it. 'nuff said.

BTW, opinions are like a$$---s, everybody has one.

[subterfuge]

It's all just gibberish to PinkoCommie.

I'm sure he blushes with immense pride when I call him PinkoCommie.

[Revolting cat!]

[timpad]

But, have you read the Book of ZOT?

[zephyrduck]

"Yet even though the death penalty was widely used in his day, [Jesus] didn't say a word about forbidding it."

Umm...I'm just a lowly Catholic and so I don't have the bible memorized chapter and verse. But in the Gospel According to John, did't they capture a woman in the act of adultery? Didn't they bring her to Jesus? Didn't they ask Jesus what they should do? Didn't they want to stone her just like the Old Testament law prescribed?

And didn't Jesus respond that "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her"?

That sounds like a pretty strong condemnation of captial punishment to me. But then again, I'm just a lowly Catholic who doesn't have the bible memorized chapter and verse.

(Bible quote is from the King James Version as to cause a mimimum of consternation from the more evangelical members on this board. I prefer the more classic "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.")

[Jimmyclyde]

I've actualy read the Bible twice and that has only served to reinforce my position.

And which part that you read is against the death penalty?

[Uri’el-2012]

Sister Helen Prejean is clearly not a follower of the Christ !

 

If she were, she would obey the Word of G-d.

 

NAsbU Genesis 9:6 "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man.

 

We are required by G-d to execute murderers including those who practice abortion.

 

His willing bondslave

who said I'm for kill an innocent baby?

You didn't say you didn't. But you do support murderers.

BTW, I think your grammar is atrocious. Either that or your universal translator is on the fritz.

[Pinko]

Actually the death penalty is more expensive than life imprisonment per numerous state investigations.

[Jimmyclyde]

who said I'm for kill an innocent baby?

If you're for abortion you are for killing innocent, unborn babies.

[Preachin']

Was the welfare line too packed for you today?

[timpad]

Another P.E.S.T. victim. It is good to have them back though. At least they've stopped crying in their bongs and have lost faith in the RecountInOhioButNotPennsylvania.

Back to the ol' standby, Repugs hate everybody and just wanna fry 'em all...

[Rightly Biased]

No problem I knew you were a patrol leader so I just wanted to be a good soilder.

[facedown]

Wow, it's still alive.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Please flush.

[subterfuge]

Go the hell away ducky.

You're a troll too.

[MamaTexan]

one who has a true respect for life should be opposed to both.

I respect innocent life.

Criminal life has abdicated its right to exist.

[rocksblues]

Thus, we have a group of people with little to no respect for life (torture, vengeance, war) and nobody in the circle to question this.

Could you tell me how many people were in Clinton's circle that told him he should do something about Rwanda?

[superskunk]

Actually the death penalty is more expensive than life imprisonment per numerous state investigations.

Mostly has to do with lengthy and costly multiple appeals. I could make it a lot cheaper. Rope's quick, efficient, humane, and cheap.
