Have your government justify it anyway you think it helps.

LOL! Wow, this is your weakest attempt yet. Okay, if you don't want to answer the question "Why do you believe in capital punishment?", that's fine. I'll move along. No sense in debating someone who doesn't even know why he believes what he believes. Unless you would finally, after about 2 pages of posts, like to answer that.
BTW, its funny you speak so fluently about taking another persons life when I'm sure you've never done it. Its really easy to sit in the bleachers and talk about the game when you've never played it.

Try Post #93, answered before asked sorry.
 
So what your saying is that there is time for government killings, I do too that is my point. Thank you for your service it really is appreciated, as I too have a son in the service and has been 2 tours in Afghanistan.

Big difference, as I've already pointed out, between a pre-meditated vengeance killing and defending yourself. How would you feel about your son if, instead of doing what I did, he hooked up some wire hangers to the alternator of a HUMVEE and electrocuted that terrorist in the story I told you above? I mean, your son saw him kill his buddies right? He's well within his right to execute the guy even though he's no threat.
 
I rather not jump between you and barbarian, but thank you for your service.

No thanks needed. Just doing my job. But thank you for the thank you lol.
 
An unemployed trigger happy serial killer goes on a shooting spree and kills 10 people. What is his punishment? Free food and lodging.

I will trust that my son uses dignity and the ought most highest morals out on that battlefield in keeping him and his men safe from harms way as he does in his home life.

Listen here you, don't insinuate that my kid would do differently.Your crossing the line there buddy.

When someone receives the death penalty it should be used conservatively and when done it should be for heinous crimes to deter others with permanent consequences, as I truly believe it does.

Listen here you SOB you don't insinuate that my kid would do differently.

You can call me an SOB all you want bro. I've been there done that many more times than your son has. Further, I never insinuated your son would do that. I simply plugged him into the scenario. You took it as that. If any moderators are viewing this thread, please do not infract this guy for the SOB comment. Its no big deal and he's defending his kid.

Wrong again. The source is below the graph.

YA when you do personal attacks **** off pal. who the **** do you think you are.

And I could really give to fly ****s one anything else you have to say, I shot you down and you start giving a fellow serviceman that type of respect I wonder what the **** kinda **** you did over there yourself.

AND **** YOUR ****ING SCENARIO YOU **** FACE!

ASSHOLE!

What is YA? You didn't capitalize "Who the ****..."/ it should be two fly ****s, not "to". Your English skill degrades exponentially when you're mad.
 
So I should count you among the folks willing to take another human life.

Eye for an eye. Why would someone want to pay for someone in jail that killed another human being?

ASSHOLE!

I missed this part at the bottom as well. Sorry about that. By the way, sentences don't start with "and" unless you are participating in some sort of informal debate or conversation. This is not an informal debate especially when factoring in your language. Most debate has language such as that. In fact, tune in to CSPAN and you can hear it all day.
 
When I hear servicemen talk the way you do, I am ashamed of my country. That better? Later asshole.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Because, you know, everyday I get up and think about. "What can I do to make barbarian style proud of his country?" BTW, you still didn't answer why you believe in capital punishment. Just sayin.
 
Why would you want to kill another human being?

Oh, don't confuse the issues with facts. None of these guys actually want to kill the people they speak of themselves. They just like the idea of some law enforcment officer way off in a distant land pulling the lever for them. They would never actually get their own hands dirty.
 
What do you think of the death penalty.


I'm sitting on the fence about death penalty..... I don't know.... sometimes I think yes..... sometimes I don't know
 
Why would you want to kill another human being?

If they commit murder they should pay the price. It is a horrible crime. The person they kill cannot come back and neither should they.

You shouldn't make such a quick accusation. As a proud gun owner I can say that if someone were to pose a danger to me or my family I would shoot them in a heart beat and not regret it for a second.
