  • Well one way to lower it is to settle law around the death penalty it seems. And they attribute part of the cost to battling chemical manufacturers, which could be moot with how cheap and easy it is to acquire nitrogen or even carbon monoxide.

    Also if it’s 70,000 a year to house an inmate… if an inmate is jailed for 20 years before death, total cost is 1.4 million. If an inmate is jailed at 20 and lives for another 60 years, that’s 4.2 million.

    So taking out a very young inmate would theoretically save the state about 3 million if they live until a natural age. Ted Kaczynski lived until 81 and absolutely deserved death.

    Sure I’m sympathetic to that argument. I’ve recently looked up lists of some of the people that most likely were found innocent post execution.

    But what if we had stricter criteria. What about the people we are absolutely certain, with witnesses and camera footage, are guilty of murder? I’m specifically thinking of people like Nikolas Cruz, a school shooter who killed 17?

    It is about vengeance and also about not perpetually providing room and board for someone who lost their rights when they decided to take someone else’s rights to life away.

    Edit: why would they have an inalienable right to life, even if it is a meager life in prison, if they decided they can takeinnocent people’s lives for their own deranged reasons?





  • The money is suppose to go to Palestine not Hamas you have shown your racism and that’s the problem.

    Oh no, my racism has been found out!

    Saying they cant get the money because Hamas has been getting their “ass reamed”

    I think that’s okay to say for a belligerent armed force that’s losing the war it instigated.

    A 16-18 year old is still a child are you trivilizing their death because they’re close to being an acceptable death age by your standards?

    And you’re trivializing their actions, which is acting as soldiers in a warzone. But you should understand I don’t think it’s “okay” that children are being brainwashed into throwing themselves into a war. It’s pretty despicable what Hamas is doing.

    They refused to a cease fire till isreal leaves gaza sounds pretty reasonable.

    And Israel is tired of Hamas breaking ceasefires repeatedly for the last few decades and wants their civilian hostages back.

    Should an invading force be able to take a ton of land then say alright now we stop fighting since we got what we want?

    Should an sovereign nation accept being rocketed for decades after leaving Gaza completely, and then shrug their shoulders to an attack on their own civilians that killed 1000+?

    You sound like a terrible person and would probably fit in well with the Republican party are you sure you’re not voting for trump.

    Thanks, I’m a Bernie supporter who’s begrudgingly voting for Biden because, despite him being a neoliberal mainstream Democrat, he’s taking a middle ground and trying to negotiate with Netanyahu while providing humanitarian aid to Palestinian non combatants.
