If your spouse dies in a car wreck is it better because they didn't die in a terrorist attack?

Dead is dead.

So if I kill your family, you would be okay with that, because "people die, get over it".

Yes, that would be "ok".

I'd grieve, and I'd miss them, but it's not like anyone lives forever. Some people die when they are little tiny babies. Some people die when they are over 100 years old. You can't control any of it. All you can do is live every day to it's fullest and enjoy your time here while you still can.

Alright. If that's hoe you feel, that's how you feel.

so when did you start embracing nihilism?

did you use nihilism as a crutch to numb the pain of sucking so many prison dicks?

Except your ability to understand right from wrong is established much earlier, unless you have lived under circumstances of abuse. The ability to weigh risk from reward is a non factor when a person is unable to be reconditioned to understand right from wrong, and there are quite a few experts who believe in the right environment, reconditioning is impossible. Dr. James Farrow, associate professor of medicine and pediatrics at University of Washington School of Medicine, director of the Division of Adolescent Medicine at the UW Medical Center, and director of Nathan Hale High School's Teen Health Center; Dr. Jim Owens, medical director for the Department of Juvenile Rehabilitation; and Dr. William Womack, child psychiatrist at Children's Hospital and consultant at Echo Glen Children's center. To name a few.
there's more than just the reasoning component.

The function of the frontal lobe involves the ability to project future consequences resulting from current actions, the choice between good and bad actions (or better and best), the override and suppression of socially unacceptable responses, and the determination of similarities and differences between things or events.

here's some peer-reviewed:

I'm conflicted. Killing this guy to illustrate just how wrong it is to kill others is hypocritical and barbaric. Death for a lot of people is release, freedom from the horror of their lives. Spending 60 or 70 years in a cage is far worse than being put to sleep with a needle.

The death penalty is a stupid barbarity that puts us in league with some of the worst countries in the world, but what this guy did is pretty fucking disgusting...

It's all about the "coin". Get him out of the taxpayers pocket.
If he can find "kind hearted" sponsors to fund his stay, fine.

Otherwise, I can make 10mm, 44 mag and sw .500 for under 50 cents a round, (new brass). I'll donate any of those three rounds, the weapon along with my services for 500 bucks an hour. Ah shit, I'll work for minimum wage.

I'm deadly at "point blank" range.

it really seems like there is an inverse correlation between penis size and internet toughness.

I think getting all philosophical about this issue is warranted. But its way to easy to speak out of your ass. Especially with the nitwits that populate RIU.

I was up in the air about capital punishment until my brother was murdered by terrorists. Now i feel that in situations where the killers are plainly responsible for murdering innocent folks capital punishment is appropriate.

All you arm chair moralists are nothing but gasbags until you know first hand.
The world is a better place without some people on it. I'm opposed to the death penalty though....not out of mercy for some nutjob like this guy, but because putting even one innocent person down is one too many.

I have zero faith in our criminal justice system.

True, and I think that is a big fault of the courts, over-zealous prosecutors, deceitful police and a system that is stacked against you if a good enough lawyer is simply not in your budget. There are even times when DNA evidence has proven people innocent, but because they still had a fair trial for the time period, their cases remain untouched.

Agree. I didn't get teary eyed when McVeigh left this world and won't when Tsarnev follows. That said the death penalty is not applied fairly or uniformly, the long and indefinite time spent on death row is inhumane and taking the murderer's life unnecessarily degrades our society.

Murder is murder. We murder a murderer because he committed murder. Saying this makes one's head spin. We don't need to do this.

That being said, not every person is innocent, and I think the ones who are deemed unable to be helped should be granted the release from being treated like a dog.
To me, this is more a comment on the inhumanity of the prison system than the loss of liberty. We allow prisoners to make the punishment of prison to be far worse than taking away a person's liberty. We even joke about it!!? Dogs have better lives than what goes on in prison today. To me this is worse than the rare and arbitrary application of capital punishment. Faced with life without chance of parole in our penal system or death, perhaps I'd choose death. That my country allows such a system to exist and even jokes about it is...disgusting. Given that most people on this site use a class one narcotic, I don' t understand why there isn't more outrage expressed over this.

Why not just give the guy a life sentence in gen-pop in a Maximum Security Federal Prison?

He wouldnt just be an asshole then, he'd be everyone's asshole.

I still vote for slavery though.
Would you rather be sentenced to life in prison or sold into slavery?

Anyone can answer.

:)
There's no comparison. Take some time and research what slavery was ACTUALLY like, and you'll realize that there is probably no worse fate than being a slave (both physically & psychologically). Prison is Candyland by comparison.
