    Wolf I have heard many stories of people who have gone to jail for having done nothing,you don't know the situation they come from,I mean if everyone in your neighberhood does pot theres a chance you will to.

    There are extreme cases for everything. I'm sure I could pull out a story where a 4 time convicted rapist escapes from prison.

    I don't understand why you want people dead.Look at Malcom X,he stole,killed and did many bad things but he was gaven a second chance and is now known for helping to stop racism.

    im against the way they kill. they should just put them on a bomb testing ground and hitem hit a missle instead of wasting millions of dollars on a tablespoon of poison.

I take things too personally so I am not the guy who should be making decisions on who lives and who doesn't. It is one of my weaknesses.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Death Penalty. I'm against it. If someone kills someone, it's just as bad for the government to kill him. Let him have life in prison. And also, life in prison isn't so bad. I mean think about it, full meals (even though they suck), great work outs and excercise, and get closer to God and be more religous. I think you can also maybe if you train hard and become strong in prison, in about 10 years maybe some Police or Intelligence agency can take you out if you show promise.</div>That sounds all great and all but if somebody kills someone they should never see the light of day. It costs money to keep people in jail, that money comes from tax payers. If someone commits murder they should be killed in my opinion. Unless it's self-defense obviously. Why let someone live when the crime they comitted ended somebody else's life?

    Because it costs millions more of our tax dollars to put someone through execution, it costs less to keep them in prison for life.

We don'r rape rapists, we don't need to kill murderers. It's a cliche, but that makes you no better than them. Life in prison is hell, I think that's enough of a punishment.

    So JustBlaze and BCB, (please dont take this the wrong way) if somebody killed a family member of yours, you would rather have them be in jail for life than have them get killed? And BCB how is it cheaper to keep someone in jail for 60 years then just to kill them? The prisons are overpopulated as it is already. Why give these drains on society life? Yeah it's hell in jail but they are still living....unlike their victims and their suffering famalies.

    Im completely against it, two wrongs do not make a right.There is no death penalty here, I think it was done away with in the 60's

Often times Mr. Wolf is basically wrong, and he still doesn't admit it.
