just wondering.. do you agree/disagree with capital punishment?.
are there any circumstances that would justify it?.
or is taking any human life unacceptable, regardless of the crime?.
Magnum ,you would make a great torturer I can't help feeling.
you do realize your response to watching animals being tortured is a particularly disturbing one don't you?
Nothing justifies the death penalty, nothing.
Once people start saying, what if it was your family, they have lost the argument... that's why victims families can't decide punishment, because we aren't savages...

I can just see how well the sister preaching in her work break would go down.... not..
personally the jws to me are not dangerous.
on the other hand, many do think they are in fact a dangerous cult.
why are they dangerous?.
Absolutely it's dangerous.
Its a failure of logic to compare one form of danger to another, are sharks more dangerous than tigers?
You only need to look at the damaged lives, that's all the evidence you need.

Smiddy, there is always room for doubt. Look at all the studies that show the unreliable nature of eyewitnesses.
now. there are cases of DNA being proved to be wrong, and fingerprints have been shown to be unreliable for quite some time...
nothing is black and white.

No, Smiddy, not all of us did.I never did.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

In my opinion the whole war of drugs is a joke. Prohibition never works, legalization of drugs would remove the whole need for crime....

I DO think that life should mean life..
As a non American, we hear horror stories regularly of things like the three strikes and you're out laws.... it seems that something in the American culture development has taken them on a vastly differing course from the rest do the developed world...

it's a funny thing, the death penalty is such an American thing.
I can't see how people can support it for a variety of reasons...
the economic argument is false, it's much cheaper to keep someone alive for ever in gaol than to execute them, way cheaper.
Nonone who does such awful thing can be anything other than ill, I'm not saying they are insane, but there is something fundamentally wrong with them.
It such an easy thing to confuse justice for revenge, and in a civilized country those two things are totally different.
The innocence project is a frightening example of the real dangers of people being wrongly convicted. What percentage did they speculating are wrongfully convicted?
But for me, pure and simply, IF I support the death penalty it makes me no better than them, it's murder, hiding it behind the state is no justification...
so we all know of the parable / illustration at matt 7:13.
"go in through the narrow gate, because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones finding it, or going in through it".
here is a brain snapping thought that hit me!:.
it's just a story, from an ancient book of stories, I feel somewhat baffled by why people who have been lucky enough to escape from it, feel the need to go back to find meaning in it and to attempt to decode it.
its all just stories guys. just be nice to each other that's all you need to do.
if you actively do fs on a trolley i would love you to answer this question.
if you don't but know publishers that do can you ask them please.. are you told not to approach anyone unless they approach you as part of your trolley training?.
thanks kate xx.
I saw one at a very popular tourist area where lots of Chinese tourists visits. all their mags were in Chinese. Another guy approached them and asked, what are you selling? they replied, oh no we're just talking to people about god. Not being alone gave me the impulse to approach them, so i asked what religion are you? they very reluctantly replied JWs, I was near a whole group of Chinese people, and said, OH in a very negative manner and told the Chinese people not to have anything to do with them.. They all looked very warily at it and left..
What would happen to a Chinese person unlucky enough to get involved? they would end up loosing all their family, their culture,everything.
imagine telling them they could no longer celebrate Chinese New Year and that they would have to disown their family??
I walked away feeling physically sick... some things never leave you I believe...
