hmm, i guess i missed the death penalty one

you are justified for the war, well isnt the exact reason why we are there are becasue of the atrocities committed upom their people, as well as ours, under Saddam Hussein? (eg exeuctions during dinners, soccer games) etc.

wouldnt this 'devils island' type prison just bring us down to their level?

and the majority of murders arent commmited Richard Ramirez 'i love to kill' style. but are rather, acts of passion. imagine walking into your house seeing a man raping your daughter, wouldnt that drive you to kill him? and im assuming, on you and the bulk of people here that you really dont want to kill someone. but in this situation wouldnt your judgement be skewed?

how about the fact that the bulk of people who do harm to others, were often times in their childhood harmed as well. again, this isnt justification but this reallly can fuck someone up. how about people with mental illnesses? yes, i think ramirez deserves to die and/or suffer but not all murderers are like that.. a lot of them were just normal joes like the rest of us until something fuced em up for a moment.

just another thought........... :cool:
