why would you believe that? random thoughts Send a noteboard - 14/01/2011 08:58:25 PM
maybe giving them icream cones and asking nice would stop them as well. But since they are already executing each other in the street in much greater numbers then the law will be able sustain and that is having no effect then I think it is safe to assume that the kill them in street idea has been shown to be a failure.

At leaast the icecream idea isn't a proven failure.

So by your ethics... Shannow - 13/01/2011 07:40:36 PM 1143 Views
If he can't be defended he can't be tried and thus he can't be convicted. Rebekah - 13/01/2011 07:44:57 PM 1163 Views
I suspect he disparages "technicalities" as well. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/01/2011 07:48:14 PM 488 Views

I just get a sense that those principles are worshipped more than the cause they supposedly serve... Shannow - 13/01/2011 09:19:59 PM 1008 Views
The principles and the cause they serve are the same. Macharius - 14/01/2011 02:13:43 PM 968 Views

He should have been shot in the street like a dog. Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 01:09:38 AM 935 Views
Vengeance is not justice. *NM* Macharius - 14/01/2011 01:13:04 AM 493 Views
If the person is guilty, it's one in the same. Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 01:17:54 AM 898 Views
No, it's not: their definitions and concepts are entirely different. Macharius - 14/01/2011 02:27:13 PM 1022 Views
Can`t consume blood, actually. Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 04:10:57 PM 990 Views
well im so glad you find this situation to be so simple Aisha - 16/01/2011 03:45:52 AM 963 Views
Now that was a better post. Now we can talk. Dragonsoul - 16/01/2011 04:54:11 AM 1111 Views
That would not be a deterrent to people who are mentally ill. *NM* everynametaken - 14/01/2011 01:25:56 AM 531 Views
By that logic nothing would. Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 01:29:41 AM 894 Views
And by that logic, we should kill people with HIV. Dannymac - 14/01/2011 06:20:03 AM 979 Views
Not at all. We should kill people with HIV if they're spreading it knowingly. Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 01:31:48 PM 1177 Views
then we should kill people who spread the flu as well random thoughts - 14/01/2011 04:53:51 PM 1025 Views
That's absurd. Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 08:21:36 PM 917 Views
it is absurd and that is my point random thoughts - 14/01/2011 08:54:07 PM 1045 Views
That's not the issue. Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 09:40:00 PM 978 Views

HIV is incurable. Dragonsoul - 15/01/2011 07:09:47 AM 902 Views
Unless, you know, someone is deliberately spreading flu to old people or people with Chas - 15/01/2011 12:32:42 PM 953 Views
To my knowledge, no one has ever been convicted of that. Dragonsoul - 15/01/2011 03:32:49 PM 934 Views
People have been convicted for knowingly spreading diseases Isaac - 15/01/2011 01:05:22 PM 898 Views
you are correct that is why we need to fix our mental health system *NM* random thoughts - 14/01/2011 02:22:22 PM 522 Views
Not everyone else is doing that. So who else are you trying to deter? everynametaken - 14/01/2011 05:25:28 PM 1078 Views
Everyone. Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 08:23:41 PM 1191 Views
gang members get killed every day by other gang members so I would say it isn't working *NM* random thoughts - 14/01/2011 08:31:29 PM 547 Views
If we were executing them publicly in the streets, maybe it would be. *NM* Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 08:33:30 PM 513 Views
why would you believe that? random thoughts - 14/01/2011 08:58:25 PM 982 Views
It's never been tried. Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 09:40:54 PM 970 Views
So it's agreed, murderers should be given icecream. *NM* Stephen - 14/01/2011 09:43:36 PM 497 Views
did you actually read my reply where I explained that it has been tried? random thoughts - 14/01/2011 09:52:43 PM 1056 Views
Because it's not being done by the state. Dragonsoul - 15/01/2011 07:08:51 AM 948 Views
Yes, let's bring back the justice of the lynch mob. *NM* Aeryn - 14/01/2011 01:44:00 AM 465 Views
It is justice if the person is guilty. Dragonsoul - 14/01/2011 01:32:44 PM 873 Views
So how would you determine if the person is guilty and deserved death? Perhaps... with a lawyer? *NM* Aeryn - 15/01/2011 06:05:13 AM 540 Views
No, a 5 minute trial wherein the judge watches the video of this guy killing everyone... Dragonsoul - 15/01/2011 07:05:30 AM 1046 Views
What if he was a hired killer? Aeryn - 15/01/2011 06:19:12 PM 905 Views
They're pretty certain he worked alone. Dragonsoul - 15/01/2011 08:00:42 PM 954 Views
Also, did you see My Cousin Vinny? Aeryn - 15/01/2011 06:23:51 PM 989 Views
In this case, I'll risk it. *NM* Dragonsoul - 15/01/2011 08:02:10 PM 490 Views

He has a reasonable defense. Great Lord of Chaos - 14/01/2011 11:21:47 PM 1090 Views
I disagree. Dragonsoul - 15/01/2011 07:04:38 AM 1103 Views
That's preposterous. Great Lord of Chaos - 15/01/2011 10:42:04 PM 950 Views
He's not retarded, he's insane. Dragonsoul - 16/01/2011 12:28:45 AM 941 Views
Both are maladies that affect the mind and reasoning processes. Great Lord of Chaos - 16/01/2011 02:05:53 AM 987 Views
Then insane still have to pay for what they've done. Dragonsoul - 16/01/2011 02:53:47 AM 942 Views
There's a little flaw in your connection. Great Lord of Chaos - 16/01/2011 03:14:36 AM 942 Views
Again, I disagree. Dragonsoul - 16/01/2011 04:47:08 AM 1507 Views
Just because that's your opinion, doesn't mean that's applicable. Great Lord of Chaos - 17/01/2011 03:07:47 AM 1037 Views
Uh...I never argued that it should. Dragonsoul - 17/01/2011 03:33:43 AM 1221 Views
