Wow... want to help society? Kill this guy. You just shot the moral of a bunch of thugs feeling like they get bribe their way into lesser sentences. The crips just got pwned by the state.

Want another thing to know? These kids live in the God damn ghetto. Assuming they know how to read, you think they're going to spend their money on his book rather than buy some porno magazine? You can't be serious. Last I checked, kids in the ghetto with 1 parent aren't spending their allowance on some book. Dude, get a reality pill.

By allowing a person to sit behind bars for the rest of their life isn't undermining American justice.

What, do you think we showed those thugs who was boss now? Sure, whatever you want buddy.

But see, you're thinking like an aggressive animal rather than an intelligent human being. The dichotomy that exists between the American justice system and the "thugs" is something that needs to be eliminated. Noone is at war with anyone else here.

Oh, and why don't you be a bigger man and start showing a little compassion when it comes to those "ghetto" kids with "1 parent." Why not have some optimism that our society CAN rise above its current problems? Why just block this view out and think of all these people as hopeless?

Listen man, just because you weren't born into a situation like that doesn't give you any right to consider yourself better.

Having the visualization and optimism of a society better than a current one does not necessitate a "reality pill." I think what you need to realize is that reality is not something concrete and set in stone, but something that can be changed and molded by the things who comprise it.

However I am against the death penalty for anyone. I think it's barbaric and useless. Crime is no lower in pro DP states than non DP states - in fact in many it is higher. We lower ourselves to the criminal's level with legal murder.

Really? Have you heard of a state called Florida?

show us a study that conclusively states that the DP lowers homicide rates.

yeah you'll never find anything conclusive for that one, believe it.

This subject is so absurdly gray that has more complexity then anyone here can realize or put into words. The death penalty and abortion are some of the most "moral" of debates that each side will dredge up loads upon loads of informative fact to support their side and bring down the other. Truely a clash of titanic proportion.

The debate's turned too political...
