    I am not sure if anybody else could have done significantly better considering the circumstances.

    Won't be much stock left for you then. Nor any vehicles to buy the stock through.

    1-1? You would be OK with one innocently convicted execution for every one guilty execution? Now we are talking about released criminals who go on to commit murder? Why do you keep changing all the parameters? Does your extremely forced comparison not work for you when you keep the parameters the same?
  4. SkyDekker
    Unfortunately your question is not the direct opposite of mine. Not putting them to death does not mean freeing murderers. Hence, the premise of your question is false. Interesting to note you don't asnwer my question though. You have already indicated you are fine with a 1 in 10 ratio. Kill one innocent person for every 10 guilty. How about a 1 in 5? Or maybe a 1 in 2? What's your price?

    Never thought I would see you use the "blood in the streets" argument. Statistics simply do not back up your claims.

    Hey your poll questions are somewhat leading. I couldn't vote cause the option for Any White Man from Texas Deserves to be Executed wasn't available....

    Is that code for altering your own quotes?
  8. SkyDekker
    Not so sure that is always true. I hear quite a bit of bragging about who has the biggest expense account. Bets on who has expensed the most expensive bottle of wine, or most martinis at lunch. I could go on and on.

    Read the second line, it has your answer. Maybe put your anger aside and focus on reading comprehension for a little bit?

    Unless of course that innocent man is you or one of your loved ones. Well, then obviously those bleeding heart liberals have ruined the justice system. Wouldn't it be easier to test people for murderous tendencies and elliminate them before they could even commit the crime? What's your price to catch the truly guilty?

    You seem to be interchanging muslim and terrorist.

    lol, I am sure he will be as soon as you are OK with people having to register before owning a gun, just like you ahve to befoer you are allowed to vote. Different rights, different processes.

    Shouldn't it be more important who would be the best choice for America than who gets beaten? Seems you are more interested in gloating than bettering your country.
  14. SkyDekker
    And no better reason for not having a death penalty.
  15. SkyDekker
    I don't, but other people, like your law makers and your judges, do. Sometimes the right to vote is more important than the right to bear arms or have free speech. Probably one of the reasons they don't want guns in polling stations. Probably also why free speech is restricted in polling stations.
  16. SkyDekker
    No, but since you are about to execute a man where there is serious doubt about his guilt, this may not be the right argument.
  17. SkyDekker
    You already said that it would be relatively simple to have social workers or doctors to make that determination. Two posts later and you are no longer happy with that setup? So, why didn't you turn him in? And I asked you how many people were experts at working the system? SO far you have provided one anecdote and no data.
  18. SkyDekker
    Do you really want to compare the damage that could be done with one vote in a polling station compared to the damage that could be done with one firearm in a polling station?
  19. SkyDekker
    Guns, like cars or any other object, do nothing by themselves. It is the operator who needs to be regulated. I really could care less what Americans do with guns. I do think your country faces much bigger problems than arguments over which gun you can carry where.
  20. SkyDekker
    That process is already in place, people do get turned down for welfare. The system isn't perfect and I am sure savings can be had. Do you have any idea how many people are "experts at working the system"? (and are we now talking about Health Care or Welfare?)
  21. SkyDekker
    Which also means that the determination of mental capacity for owning a gun, voting and excercising free speech is different.
  22. SkyDekker
    Leaving part of your own quote out is pretty pathetic. However, running a red light has not killed anybody. Hitting them with the car is what killed them. Dangerous driving is already illegal. Doing 100 hasn't killed anybody, hitting them with the car kills them. Dangerous driving is already illegal. Drunk driving doesn't kill. Hitting them is what kills them. Dangerous driving, murder and manslaughter are already illegal The list goes on. Looks like as usual, you are only against laws you don't agree with, but are fine with being dictated by the government in other areas.

    Now that you agreed that teh issue isn't that simple and some people are not able to stop whining and just pay. Who makes the determination whether somebody is truly able to stop whining and work and who isn't?
  24. SkyDekker
    It is the extreme examples that make what you think is easy, difficult. Just telling people to man up, may deal with some situations, but it doesn't deal with all of them. You may enjoy living in an imaginary simple world, but life just isn't like that. But it makes for nice soundbites.
  25. SkyDekker
    really you are upset that a stereotype was met by a stereotype?
