I feel the death penalty is right for mainly practical reasons, prisoners cost a fortune to keep alive. If we can't kill the worst of them we should be able to work them to freakin' death. They need to serve whatever is left of their violent pathetic lives as a warning to others.

Yet another biased poll.

I'm simply asking for help and, in turn, encouraging people to write their comments or reactions to the topic at hand. No where in my question did I say, "Hello... please be a tard today and insult the person conducting the pole."

Now you're biased against "old" people? I'm younger than most of the people you are asking for an opinion. Do you really want to piss us all off?

Be careful. We might just grab our walkers, waddle out and get on our Rascal's, come hunt you down, and drool all over you with our denture breath.

... it is an expression of exasperation... and you have made numerous references when contradicting me to my being young and you being older and presumably wiser.

I'm simply asking that you not act like a tard and let the poll serve as it will.

I am a total sweetheart...that's the funniest part about the whole thing! You, from the moment I got here, have been nothing but a pain in my rear... when you're not sinking to the most basic of reasons to insults me you're picking apart everything I say and it's frustrating.

I chose #1, Kris! :audienceclap:

I don't think it's too much to punish someone by taking their life after they have willfully taken that of at least one other. Especially those who clearly lack remorse and simple decency; they should be put out straight away.

Those who are viewed as remorseful may be spared, but still given to chain gang-type labor until they are no longer able.
