I'm voting for McCain....

By abolishing the death penalty we, as a society, are effectively saying that there is no crime which can be committed that warrants death. This is atrocious, this lack of regard for innocence versus the beasts. If you, or any human, were raped and murdered, god forbid, I'd hope the "let the punishment fit the crime" mantra would be employed, and I'd want to have the option of seeing it on national TV. "This is what happens to evil, when we catch you." We have become a nation of sissies.

You're making the (highly erroneous) presumption that our justice system is perfect, that no innocent man or woman may be found guilty. Hard labor is plenty for me, and I'd rather send a criminal free than allow my government to commit the crime of condemning an innocent man to pay the ultimate, and irreversible, price.

Hypothetically, if it was by brother, the rapist murderer, I'd do it myself, if I found out first. Really fuck 'em up, seriously. And then turn him over to the cops barely alive. I'd hope he did the same to me if the position was reversed. Some crimes are so, fucked, it has to be an option for punishment, death. No, I wouldn't "want" to, but if it is occurring, why pretend like it isn't. I believe it is a necessity in civilized societies, severe punishment for severe crime, and publicizing the punishment would only reinforce the popular sentiment that this is absolutely, unequivocally, unacceptable. This is one of the few subjects that genuinly angers me.

Civilized? Do you know the company we, the U.S., keep with regard to implementation of the DP? Many of the countries who do as we do are those very same Muslim countries you decry so vehemently. Is that a coincidence? I don't think so.

Your entitled to your opinion. As for civilized, I had it quoted and then unquoted it. In my opinion, we are highly civilized. No reason to quote it for the people I knew would disagree.

Seems we are in the majority.....maybe we're not all sissies.

Do the muslim countries of which you refer get to vote on this as well?

Apostasy in Islam-(Arabic: ارتداد, irtidād or ridda) is commonly defined as the rejection of Islam in word or deed by a person who has been a Muslim.
The four major Sunni and the one major Shia Madh'hab (schools of Islamic jurisprudence) agree that a sane adult male apostate must be executed.

Apostasy in Islam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Qur'an states that God (in Arabic, Allah) despises apostasy. See verses [Qur'an 3:72], [Qur'an 3:90],[Qur'an 16:106],[Qur'an 4:137] and [Qur'an 5:54] which deal with apostasy directly and which state that Allah will punish and reject apostates in the afterlife. Except 16:106-109, the verses that discuss apostasy all appear in surahs identified as Madinan and belong to the period when the Islamic state had been established.

with the new innovations in DNA people are being found innocent all the time now...just saying...you can kill them if want...I don't care....

 

[ccodiane]

DNA is used in proof positive prosecution much, much, much more frequently than it is used in reversing previous convictions...worked for OJ...just sayin.

 

[tipsgnob]

your right...fuck it...kill em all.....

Just last week, McCain and his party attacked Barack Obama and ridiculed the idea that keeping your car tires inflated is an effective way to improve fuel efficiency and keep down the cost of gasoline. The thing is, everyone from AAA to NASCAR agreed with Barack. McCain finally had to face reality this week and reverse his position. But the media had a good laugh about McCain's petty, misguided stunt and ignored his effort to distort the truth to win a few cheap political points

 

[ccodiane]

Except that many/the majority of us check our tire pressure regularly......already. Other than that, it was a fucking ridiculous assertion, Barrys. Why don't we just start levitating around, that should save some oil....you first BS.

 

[ccodiane]

Or maybe stone wheels, and no floorboards, and we can skeedaddle around on foot power......yabba dabba dooooooo.

That's a downright lie. The majority of you, don't even know how, or what the pressure should be. I, on the other hand, have a compressor at home and do check my pressure regularily. I find they on average, lose about 2-3 lbs a month

Better get your valve stems checked.

You mean with the old spit test, ~LOL~. Hey dude, In case you forgot (Quite likely) I was/am an ASE certified Mechanic. I think I probably know a little about tires and tire problems, seeing that I've probably worked on/changed/repaired thousands of them, but for you novices, yeah take that quarter out of your pocket, and use it at your local gas station to install proper air pressure. Look on the sticker located on your door jam for proper inflation pressures. Just for the record, I run 35PSI in my truck tires.

 

[ccodiane]

Ok...here's a question, or a few. What are the components of tires? How are they made? Is oil anywhere in the equation? Is over inflation bad for tires? Shouldn't we stop driving if we want to save oil? Or should we produce more oil if we don't want to stop driving?
