Do You Support The Death Penalty?

[brokeplex]

No wide screens at the unit my brother is warden at.

Have you ever thought of running for public office?
You could fight for the reform that is needed in our
prison system. 

I will run in 2012 only if:

1) you serve on my campaign committee
2) you get me some contributions

 

talk to Shasta, she may know the story on the 2012 score.

do you promise to put those lazy people to work?

so, does Sweden resembles demographically and historically the US?  well, maybe parts of Minnesota does, but not much else.

logically you just can't make universal assumptions by comparing "apples" and "oranges".

I don´t know how much about Sweden you do know, but why you would compare it to Minnesota, I have no idea. Somewhat amusing, though.

What I was saying is that there isn´t a direct connection between death penalty and a lower crime rate, because then we would have a high crime rate (which we don´t)

 there are so many!

Sorry, politics are too ugly for me.

demographically parts of MN closely resemble Sweden or Norway, due to heavy Scandinavian immigration and settlement in the last century and before.

yes, there is a connection between the death penalty and the ability to commit crimes.

an executed murderer has killed his or her last victim.

[Monika]

Is that why Scandinavia now has more and more gangs selling drugs and murders galore even killing innocent citizens on the streets these days, because no more hangings in Sweden... so criminals, as in murderers, run these countries more and more ?

I live here and I dont know what you are talking about, sorry.
We haven´t hung people here for a long time, so it´s not exactely something new

[brokeplex]

the prisoners!! you said you would run for office and reform the system!

no, I said that I would run for office if Karen would serve on my campaign committee!  

not to split hairs of course, but that ability is a prerequisite for higher office.

Sorry, politics are too ugly for me.

I know, its the "laws and sausages" syndrome - I am very sympathetic and understanding of your revulsion from politics.

I can't stop myself from dabbling, I am just into self-punishment.
