  The Death Penalty? What do you think?

  by Country Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i, as most persons, think a sexual assault of a child is a very horrible thing.

  like most parents, i would want to put the person to death that assaulted my child in that way, but is that just?

  i'm two ways about it: i feel for the child, and the child's family; but at the same time i am wondering if it is deserving of death?

  barring any... "what if they are not guilty" arguments, 'f*' em. no use for them. Kill them. "The Death Penalty" is a flawed system, so I am against state sanctioned "murder". I do not trust our legal systems, and I do not trust the judgement of humans. Barring a judgement call, I have no use for a child molester. I used to smoke cigarettes. I sometimes have an urge to smoke. I have not smoked since September. I cannot guarantee you I will not smoke another cigarette. It is a friggin cigarette. One cigarette will not kill me. It probably will cause no substantial harm to me. If my urge to smoke a cigarette is 1/100000000000000th (add zeros if you wish) of the urge that a child rapist (proven to have done so even once) has to rape a child, remove them from this existence. If you were to molest my three year old, I WOULD KILL YOU GIVEN THE OPPURTUNITY, WHICH I WOULD MAXIMIZE! I WOULD FEEL NO REMORSE AFTER DOING SO. Remove the doubts, remove your distrust of governments and possibilities of innocence. Death is a reasonable punishment for the rape of an innocent child(I am not talking about an 18 year old having sex with a willing 14 year old, and judgement calls are a necessary ambiguity to this question and answer).

  today at lunch, my wife and i went to a thrift store that we frequent.

  i like to wander through the electronics area, as sometimes i can find some unusual or interesting items.

  today was no exception.

  BY GOD MAN!! The thrift store you say? I need one of those. I'm not sure about letting the neighbors see it... and perhaps the wife would be shocked....

  .and the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down.

  and even the lion will eat straw just like the bull.

  I would draw funny captions for all of the pictures. The greatest man book was the best for that. I had to get a new one to make new captions. People would read them and crack up, then say that I shouldn't do it.

  House, 24, Lost, Dexter, Jeff Corwin

  As far as voting shows, I'll watch the tryouts for American Idol, and if you ever get the chance, check out the tryouts for American Inventor (or whatever it is called). You don't feel as guilty for laughing at people, cuz they are mostly adults.

  Aha, reptile fans. Cool.

  I have a 3 ft. ball python, a young redtail boa, two cornsnakes, a saharan sand boa, bearded dragon, two leopard geckos, a crested gecko, a rosehair tarantula ( my wife's, I hate the thing and won't be in the room when she takes it out), a schneider's skink, and an anole which was supposed to be food for a snake that hasn't eaten for a long time, but he didn't eat it. I have a little stupid mutt, and a cat. I used to have a golden retriever, but he got hit by a truck a month ago.

  Edited to ask, what is a budgie?

  grammer and spelling

  it reminded me of a couple of things that really bug me.. "momentarily" as in "thank you for holding.

  someone will be with you momentarily.

  Always reminds me of the dude counselling people on their talks when they would be working on "Pronounciation". Yeah, that is how he would pronounce it, the dumbass. I'm not a grammar master, and I treat what I write in message boards like my informal speech. If someone is trying to come off as a know-it-all, but can't differentiate between what there doing over their and were doing over hear, then they deserve what they get. That is especially so if I disagree with the point they are trying to make. It's not very fair, I know. It's also good to keep in mind that not everyone has English as a first language. Occasionally, my fingers on one hand will type faster than the figners on the other. (Yeah, I actually did it while typing that sentence. I'm proficient with the backspace key and do it without really thinking about it, and in this case I actually had to retype it the way I originally typed it just to show what I was talking about.) Crap, is that a run-on sentence? What a dangerous post this is. Alright editors, help me out here. What did I screw up?

  Flu made in china, make em stop it

  by Satanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm slowly recovering from a flu.

  reading up a bit about flus, i found that about 80% of them come from china.

  it's because in some areas of china, large numbers of people and other animals like pigs, fowl and even some wild animals waiting to be eaten live really close together.

  This one popped out at me

  6. Would you invite a stranger into your home without first finding out who he is? What if there was no way to find out? Would you allow such a stranger to be alone with your children? Like certain JW's for instance? They will allow confessed pedophiles to knock on your door. Thankfully, the internet can help you avoid such a pitfall.

  OK, I added the stuff in italics.

  How'd they get a sample of Jesus' DNA?

  I was wondering the same thing. What is that blanket that supposedly jesus was wrapped in? the shroud of ... something? I was reading a fictional book where someone got a sample of blood off of that and cloned (or attempted to clone jesus dna yada yada.) Maybe Cameron read that book and got some ideas?

  edited to add: It is the "Shroud of Turin".http://www.shroudofjesus.com/
