  Tetra, I like what your saying and agree to a point. But I have to disagree with the phrase "blood vendetta lust" that may some but it's a small minority. My thing is to protect the public, and yes it is a great deterrent. It certainly will deter that person from killing again. try to tell me it won't.

  The problem is, it's used a tad recklessly. What I mean is it should not be an option in a case based a circumstantial evidence, or even eyewitness accounts, which can be mis-leading. If you have a guy, that knows the penalty, on a security camera taking a life during a robbery, why should it not be an option? I believe in personal responsibility, the person doing the crime very well knows the consequence his action may bring. It is his choice to act out the crime and face that penalty. How is that different from your "suicide" scenario?

  Did you know that word 'daft' derives from the Anglo-Saxon word 'Schmuck?". It actually means Schmuckers, as in "why don't you daft-off Norm".

  Sorry Hill........ but.....

  Although today we use "daft" to mean "crazy" or "foolish," it derives from the Old English "gedaefte," which meant "mild, gentle or meek." A "daft" person, when the term first appeared in Middle English as "daffte" around 1200, was simply quiet and humble, not noticeably nuts.

  Unfortunately, while the meek may inherit the earth (or what's left of it, anyway), being humble does not always engender respect, and by 1325, "daft" was being used to mean "stupid," first in reference to animals, but soon in regard to people. Worse yet, by the early 16th century, "daft" had mutated into a synonym for "insane," which is where it rests today. If there's a silver lining to the story of "daft," it is that the word is today a rather gentle synonym for "crazy," more often used to mean "silly" or "impractical" than "seriously nuts."

  I would hazard a guess that your use of the term "daft as a brush" means that you are either British or have spent time in the UK (but please don't ask me why "a brush," because I haven't the vaguest). "Daft" isn't in common use here in the US, but a probable relative is -- "daffy," which first appeared in the noun form "daff" back in the 14th century meaning "fool."

  A more surprising "daft" relative is "deft," nearly the opposite of our modern "daft." Derived from the same Old English "gedaefte," "deft" separated from "daft" in the 15th century, and developed the "gentle" sense into its modern meaning of "skillful or subtle."

  Org Limits JWD Forum Activities ??

  by ArtfulDodger in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  is it true that the org are stopping the jwd forum from re-activating the chat room facility because it allows instant discussion rather than the stilted question / response of the threads ?

  is this a sign that this site is not as distant from the org as we thougth ?

  is there a paranoid in the house ?

  I have to admit though, I am not a 'great thinker', I lack the focus, or the mental discipline to view myself as such. Mind you, given the opposition, the 'attack mice' * U/D, Stillajwexelder, and one or two others who turn up on every thread I respond to trying their very hardest to outwit me,

  Hope you don't mean me in that 1 or 2 others?!?!?!?

  Tetra, good points and all, but how about a homicidal sociopath? A person that has killed, no conscience, no remorse, no cure, no therapy. A person that given the chance will no doubt kill again. What do you do with him? How do you protect other prisoners from this person?

  Well the dub logic is, the bible doesn't mention it so they must not exist.

  But on the flip side, the bible doesn't mention a monthly time report, a guberning body, 607, ect.... so like everything else, it's pick and choose with them.
