Are you trying to prove that Jesus taught his followers to kill thieves? Good luck! Lots of people have tried to use the Bible to justify killing. Fortunately, nowadays most of them fail.

So I'm just supposed to sit idly by while a bunch of pussies sitting on their computers run their mouths about something to which they have no idea of? Yeah thats not gonna happen. How about talking about an aspect of texas Texans actually have control over....like being fat or too conservative.

jakee 1,254 #107 September 27, 2011 Quote Quote Quote So is it about deterrence or is it about justice? Yes. Then I guess this part was just a lie: Quote It's not about deterrence, in my opinion, it's about justice. Nice try dude, but surely you know you're missing the really obvious reason why 'yes' doesn't mean 'yes'.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, feel free to bitch; that's sort of what this forum is for. But to answer your question before - posts like yours are why threads get off track. Everyone wants to add their two cents, and the thread drifts away from whatever the original subject was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

460 0 #114 September 27, 2011 Do you know that in Huntsville, Texas, there is a "prison museum" with one of the original electric chairs known as "Old Sparky." http://www.txprisonmuseum.org/ I recall that even in the town square, they have a statue of an electric chair. And it's the whole last meal thing is most likely going to be overturned at the next meeting of the legislature. The biggest growth industry in Texas during the 1990s was not oil, but in private prisons. Dick Cheney had a significant hand in this... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/3485581/Dick-Cheney-charged-over-abuse-in-private-prisons.html Unfortunately, prisons have become big profit and has perhaps consciously or subconsciously resulted in an expansion of penalties in Texas.Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, prisons have become big profit and has perhaps consciously or subconsciously resulted in an expansion of penalties in Texas. Yuma, AZ has an old west prison museum, but I don't think they still put a ball and chain on prisoners in AZ and make them live in caves dug into the earth. And those barbarians in California actually give tours to Alcatraz so people can visit like it's some kind of amusement park. Can you believe that? How insensitive! Oh my gosh, Texas also has a holocaust museum: http://www.hmh.org! Texans are rounding up Jews in concentration camps and massacreing them! Someone's got to do something! And Texan's kill people for profit too! Woohoo! If you'll just pay us even more to save the life of the death row prisoners, then that will be more profitable than executing them, and we'd be happy to accomodate you. How much money is a murderer's life worth to you? Let's put them up for auction! Bidding starts at $5,000. Winning bidders get their name on a brass plaque. Texans also roast hispanic babies on a spit, but that's supposed to be a big secret, so don't go spreading it around, okay? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrong: Exodus 22:2: "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed" Does that mean Christians also support selling their daughters into slavery and the death penalty for eating shrimp or a cheeseburger? I know that the 'ham' part of 'hamburger' confuses you, but hamburger is beef and not pork. Mixing dairy (cheese) and meat is not allowed. I realize that you may not know that cheese is a dairy product and that you are therefore confused. No... you don't mix seafood and dairy!

You know, the dairy/meat combo. Evil devil stuff. He just picks and chooses which biblical verses to quote and which to ignore, based on his personal biases. Surely not?
