To friendindeed, how can you say what they do is wrong and go and do it to them, basically its all entirely fucked and flawed, my problem is people being ok with that, people say its just to hard to figure out, and with familys mourning. What about the killers family, I meen really it never ends. Do wrong to another and it keeps going until someone says fuck it and forgives.
i completely hear what your saying and i totally understand what your point is and to an extent, maybe in another world or country, it would allmake sense, be honest part of me wants things to be that way too BUT they are not.
my points of view are coming from a philosophy base which is/was an ethics standpoint.
after reading about the various philosophers and their philosophies i came away with my "laymans understanding" (is what i call it) and for me in a nut shell it says " do unto society as you would have society do unto you" plain, simple, in a nutshell.
another view, personal for me, is protection. ive been that dude to protect friends, family, the lil guy all that. martial arts, self defense, some small hand guns started to get into sharp shooting/marksmanship and the like; always thinking i had to be better for someone else in the even of, sorry but thats just me. i dont harm ppl until you try to harm me
when i think of ppl that are willing to not only harm another person but take their life and there is no self preservation involved, well that gets me just as incensed as you are about the whole aspect of the death penalty.
for me im not looking at whats good for the individual person in a topic/situation/case like this one, im thinking of the greater good and of everyone else. im dad, im big brother, i swoop in and take care of mom or dad when need be, i was the "big guy" on the hospital floor that everyone went to when they needed help whether it was drawing blood or lifting a patient and its a role that i didnt assume but one my nature dictated.
now is the death penalty fucked up? yeah BUT its in the greater good for the society as a whole. theres understanding behind it, theres a substantial reasoning behind it and it is based on one of the premises that is heavy with me which is PROTECTION OF OTHERS THAT ARE DEAR AND CLOSE TO ME.
is the law 100%? fuck no, we all know that its not! are there instances where the law doesnt apply or is too strict? hell yeah, we know this. but theres a process and most times the process fucks up because of other ppl and not the process its self
but at the same time what i really cant understand is how a person can go undetected for so long and actually have a "dumping ground" where they leave their "bodies". where the process in that? wheres the reasoning or understanding behind that?
say that shit to your self in serious thought :how a person can go undetected for so long and actually have a "dumping ground" where they leave their "bodies"
how does that sound? how does that feel to say? ppl just coming home from work, ppl coming home from school, friends house, after a night out with friends, getting out of a bad relationship, enjoying their new car, coming back from vacation, they wanted to get into a gang, sitting in their home enjoying some alone time, enjoying time with family all laying in a ditch somewhere for no reason other than some else thought it would be a "good time".
now, matter of fact, say that one to yourself in thought: how a person can go undetected for so long and actually have a "dumping ground" where they leave their "bodies" laying in a ditch somewhere for no reason other than some else thought it would be a "good time".
now understand one thing, im not here trying to change your mind about anything BUT what i am trying to do is get you to realize the fact that there are people out there willing to see you dead, just for the hell of it. . . willing to see you dead just for the hell of it.
thats not something you say in reference to ppl, that something you say about a car or giving food to the homeless, "oh well i gave him my coat for the hell of it" , " eh i gave that homeless guy the rest of my sandwich, i said what the hell" , "son and i decided to remod the 78 camaro, we felt we needed to bond and said what the hell".
the people in charge of the death penalty are they wrong? shit yeah most of the time. is the system that uses the death penalty wrong? of course it is, one of the worst in the world if you ask me. is the death penalty its self wrong? not by a long shot. i will trade one for a future 3-4 any day
so once again i say , give em the food they ask for, BUT IF THEY DONT EAT IT THEN DONT WASTE IT.

a point well taken.......

wiki said:
other condemned may plan to have that meal with family, their lawyers or even spiritual advisers when the time comes, to let one man spoil that is petty on behalf of the state of Texas.
As I've mentioned before, many of them aren't deserving of much sympathy given their crime(s) but our sense of fair play in the US judicial system allows for many dignities, courtesy's and concessions to be granted each prisoner from the moment he/she's arrested.
To take this final courtesy is discomforting to me.

i really was wondering if he was serious or not, now that you pointed it out to me... is start wondering: are there really growers out there with trust in the us judicial system ? or antiracists ? cant really imagine that, i mean to me as a european the us judicial system is quite a joke. you talking bout democracy and shit but you cant even handle your own "gangsters"(prob mostly innocent people) you just slaughter them. this has NOTHING to with dignity nor courtesy.
and about the name thing: its my german name. marko- i changed it to an n. didnt know it was gonna upset everybody. wanted do delete my account anyway prior to your call just didnt get the answer email. better said lost my account. so if the mods wanna do it i dont care.

as discomforting as it may be , to not only you but i am sure many others, it is still the humane thing to do.
personally i think its kinda shitty that they cant get a last drink, should allow em a couple for the road. . . purgatory, spiritual plane, whatever or where ever they may end up
if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck ,quacks like a duck , well i shoot it cause i really like duck. narko lol

Just wondering how far this 'pro-life' stance goes for some of you people calling the death penalty/lack of a final meal inhumane.
I so enjoy watching that hot-coal dance...kill the babies and save the scumbags...reconcile that.

we need to get some fundamentalist Muslim shit up in the country. get caught red handed with DNA evidence confirmed by three labs? stoning by the family.
Who the fuck is crying about giving the scum bag a last meal, give the bastard what ever it is he wants and then fry/stone/hang/shoot/inject/guillotine his ass post haste no appeals no 12 year wait. its the high security and constant monitoring of these bastards that costs everyone alot of money. spend the cash on prosecution/judicial/forensics to convict/get it right the first time every time and get it over fast.
