Dont want the death penalty? Just cry. (Death Penalty Discussion)

[Chun Liroy]

I agree with Kuro, I know it's more costly for the general public to keep a man alive but fuck, getting the death sentence for some crimes is actually getting off light. Let them suffer in jail, it's more fun that way. Just say they got away with raping a small child and I'm sure justice shall be served.

The death penalty exists. You can't not believe in it. It's like saying "I don't believe in spaghetti".

I believe in spaghetti because I can see it, touch it, smell it, taste it, cook it, eat it, throw it on the wall, pay a woman to lay in it, and any variety of other things. Why should I be committed to believing in this thing, The Death Penalty, when I can't do any of these things to it? What is The Death Penalty like? What color is it? Does it have feelings? Maybe you believe in it, but there's nothing necessary about that. It's a popularly-held view to not believe in the existence of abstract concepts (and material things like spaghetti, that matter). In other words, why intentionally misread what someone said just to make a smartass reply that isn't even true?

Talk about being way to butt hurt about a smart ass reply. Well, I shall reply with another!

Print off US Code Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 51, Section 1111

Then, Touch it, smell it, put an ad on craigslist and pay a strange woman to roll around on it.

Law isn't an absract concept.

The death penalty should be replaced w/ the death of their closest loved one. That'll show them.

Then you're touching/smelling/prostituting a piece of paper, and not The Death Penalty, whatever that is. If that piece of paper went up in smoke, it's not as though The Death Penalty would go away with it. They aren't the same thing.

And I'm not butt hurt. But you did take a cheap shot which by itself is just dickish, and you did so in a way that was both pompous and simply wrong (where you say "You can't not believe in it," for the reasons I outlined already), and which opens yourself up to the same kind of pedantic mockery that you dished out in the first place, that I found amusing enough to point out.

LMFAO

From capital punishment, to racism, to religion, to economics, to philosophy, to memes. The natural gradient of a serious BG thread. Sometimes it takes 4 pages, sometimes 40.

To be fair, had you not dropped the spaghetti bit, it would've taken longer.

Chinese Death of 1,000.

1,000 sheets of paper are put into a hat. The condemned draws them out one at a time. 1 of these says "freedom." The other 999 list a part of the body, external or internal. Upon drawing, the condemned loses the body part in question. They continue drawing until they hit freedom or die.

this would be entertaining to watch.

this would be entertaining to watch.

Or a terrible cock tease if he got the freedom paper on the first try.
