Death Online

I'm all for it. The reality is that America is ignorant on the death penalty.

Ok, this is getting far too intellectual for the shack, so :

UT ROXORS!!!!! QuAke SUXORS!!!!!!

We now return you to our regularly scheduled comments.

Pac.

Sick.

Only possible in the country that fights any other country that doesn't support freedom and human rights, but still puts it's own people in gas-chambers or electric chairs: the good ol' USA. Hypocrisy at its best.

I think they should hire stile from stileproject.com

this is right up his alley.

Ok, I'm at home and had a chance to find a more reputable link.

I found a couple but I think this one is sufficient:

Yes, it is again an anti-death penalty site. However along with many more facts are REFERENCES. IF you want to ignore these, then feel free.

Cosmicfool, I merely stated something I considered to be an accurate and you responded with namecalling and unfounded conjecture. You provided no evidence to back up your claim.

I'm guessing you are either a loudmouthed 16 year old who may grow out of it or you are so closed minded that there is really no hope of you ever learning anything from anyone.

I am for the death penalty, but only in such cases where the offender posted ascii gay porn or goatse.cx.

Time off-topicness: anyone here currently attending or an alum of MIT? Anyone have any friends in either of those conditions? I'd like to hear some personal experiences about it before I make up my mind ;)

A white guy is smoking weed in Central Park. Odds of arrest if eyed by a cop? 1 in 20.
A black guy is smoking weed in Central Park. Odds of arrest if eyed by a cop? 1 in 8.

(I pulled those numbers out of my ass)

Cosmicfool speaks out of complete ignorance, no factual evidence and a lot of assumptions.

Keep up the good work!

IMHO

Who here thinks the death penalty is racist? (Personally I think it's ridiculous to think that but I'd like to know if anyone here does and why)

it's amazing how violent ppl are about guns and death. This kinda thing on slashdot is just a frenzy (as if it wasn't bad enough here :)

Heheh.

[sarcasm]Hrm, why not combine this with another redneck past-time and hold public executions by drawing and quartering at the monster truck rallies? Let the trucks tow around the random body parts until the end of the show and leave the body out on the field to be run over and over and over. Sure to be a real crowd pleaser!!![/sarcasm]

I'm not against the death penalty, but I think that the burden of evidence to get the death penalty should be a hell of a lot higher than it is. Shit, in Texas (and no, this isn't a jab at Bush, since he can't do anything about it), you can be sentenced to death on hearsay and have the review board refuse to hear retry you because they think you are a bad enough person that a trial with a sober and awake attorney wouldn't have made a bit of difference.

Bullshit. You should have DNA AND eyewitnesses or other physical evidence (but the DNA is a MUST) at the crime scene in order to even be able to see the death penalty.

personally I'd be for it if it wasn't going to be used as entertainment for the wack folks out there. Public hanging did alot to scare the kids shitless.

Reality TV at a new level.
