  1. Kevin - Suspended 7 Days - Won't stop the infighting. Attempts to end it were met with more provokation. Took the only action I could think of to make it stop.

    Doug - Suspended 7 Days - Same thing, and even tried to spread it over the whole forum, probably succeeded, I'll have to wait till I get home to find out what happens over the next few hours.

  2. I believe that the death penalty should apply to all regardless of age. If one has the maturity and wherwithall to plan and execute a murder, a person is certainly eligable for the death penalty in my book. I personally think that there should be a time limit set on the appeals process in death penalty cases. More death row inmates die of natural causes in their cells than die at the hands of the government.

    It's not just appeals, there are also "death" rows where the states haven't actually executed anyone in a while because they don't feel like it, IIRC.

  3. This thread should be called "how are we going to fix the justice system" because that is where it appears to be going.

    It's a waste of time though.

    There is no win-win situation unless crime stops completely. There will always be flaws and problems.

    I actually think this entire argument that the thread is based on is null though. Take a bunch of law and CJ and US Politics classes and you will realize that decisions that make and change the law are made all the time because Judges must interpet the law. Different people have different interpretations and sometimes justices will bend the law as much as possible to get the best outcome they can.

    There are a few types of views on the law, and I'm not going to get into them, but not everyone believes it should be treated the same way you believe it should.

    Some of us believe in justice. I think those kids should get the penalty, but the law says they shouldn't because obviously they don't know write for wrong or understand what they did...

    Do you have more details on this case? Transcripts perhaps?

  4. Two wrongs don't make a right.

    Killing is wrong.

    I'm a mathematics man.

    Two negatives = a positive.

    (But only when convenient.)

    Quite frankly I have no problem with killing someone for something like the Puerto Rican Day Parade incident, let alone just murderers...

    Does this actually work? No. There are thousands of reasons why it's a horrible idea. But it wouldn't make me upset if it somehow did work... and happened...

    But how did this conversation start anyway?

    The point is, the supreme court is there to make these kind of rulings. You disagree? Try to become a justice.

  5. You are correct some people do not know this but Alaska is the largest state in the USA. Much larger than Texas !!! God Bless.  :)

    What, did they all skip elementary school and middle school?

    we should run those power lines they have been wanting across it.

    we TOTALLY should becuase then you could set up a zip line with them and have a zip line that goes through and across the grand canyon it would be AWESOME.
