Let me guess - you don't care if this causes one or two innocents to get whatever excruciating death you have in mind?
Not really, no. It's unfortunate. But it's also an inevitable reality within the realm of law and order- two institutions essential for the survival of ANY state.
Dude you're arguing with Beck. The guy who wants to install a dictatorship. I don't think he really cares about rights of the condemned.
I wouldn't have much of a choice in the matter, would I? Unless you're attempting to get me to kill myself... Nonetheless, as a man of integrity, I'd like to think I'd meet death as innocent people in the past have met it, with dignity. In the end, everyone dies Henry- It's just a question of whether or not you are at peace with yourself when the time comes--whatever the circumstance. That's the only true thing which you fully have autonomous control over within your life- how you choose to meet your end. Bravely? Or kicking and screaming?
If I were being executed, whether I were guilty or innocent, I would take it like a man. ...kicking, screaming, gouging, flaying, urinating, defecating, and puking on myself and everyone in the immediate vicinity. If the state or anyone wants to kill me, then they can work for it.
If John Allen Muhammed wants to get out of his execution he should use Adam Grant's Dream Defense. It just might work if he talks to the right city editor who can convince the DA.
Nonsense. My swastika laden uniform would be covered in an overcoat. I certainly wouldn't want the onlookers to see me shiver if it were cold outside.
Does Beck not care that in the system he endorses, gays like him would be flushed out and murdered as well?
Taking it like a man is to take it as Marie Antoinette, Mary Queen of Scots, and Charles I took it- with composure, dignity, and the sound knowledge that God has everlasting salvation in store if one is truly innocent. The theatrics you are talking about pulling would only rouse the crowd with jubilee, reaffirming in their eyes that the big bad criminal is now terrified with fear and making the state look larger than life. You'd be playing right into your accuser's hands. Your execution ---> A gentleman's execution ---> :ignored:
Why? Beck as HGIC would obviously change the rules to make it acceptable. Hell he might go so far as to make male-female relations illegal just to spite the breeders.
Oh, here we go... The system I "endorse." I am not necessarily textbook Nazi as Cassandra et.al might claim. It is true the German NSDAP party does jive with many of my beliefs; however, despite the hype to come out of WWII, the Nazis were far more interested in getting rid of what they perceived to be lesser races that could bring down the gene pool. While it is indisputable Hitler and his men didn't approve of gays, several DID in fact work under him and serve in the party. Frankly, this isn't surprising as the Nazi school believed Christian gays could be rehabilitated or at least controlled, whereas Jewish gays were just down there on the totem pole to be extinguished. That being said however, I consider myself much more of a classic divine right monarchist than I am of a modern fascist. Killing people just for the fun of killing people doesn't really interest me. Obey the state's edicts and you'll be fine, disobey and create enough of an uproar in your community and you'll be equally not fine.
Once more Zombie is a WISE man. However, I would never endorse "unilaterally" outlawing heterosexual sex. After all, where would my lovers come from??? I would however endorse this: "you two can marry and breed," "you two are getting fixed right now; oh you're pregnant? GUARD!!!!!!!!!"
I didn't say you would outlaw women having babies. You would just outlaw the relationships. You could have a breeding program to breed gays. Eventually you could work your way to a Kwisatz Haderach. "The sperm must flow!"
You're giving me ideas, and it's scaring Chris, Chaos, and Henry. *Although if they ever anointed me HGIC, I have "special" positions for Dan Leach and Bailey.
I don't trust the government to do anything right. I definitely don't trust them to take all a man has and all a man is ever going to have. There. I said it.
Fair enough. But they won't let anyone else do it either. And there's no doubt this guy is the scum of the earth. He was found with the weapon in his possession, and that conclusively matched 11 of the 14 shootings. About the only question is whether he pulled the trigger, or if he brainwashed a 14 year old kid to pull the trigger. If there was ever a poster child for the state dropping the axe, it's this guy. Some people should have all they've ever had and all they ever will have taken away. Because all of the many people he killed didn't deserve to have all they've ever had and all they ever will have taken away.
On my tax dimes? NO, I don't think so. I'll provide a block and an axe. Watching them wince and struggle in terror/horror as they're restrained and decapitated with a couple blows to the neck is all I need. Chain gangs are for petty criminals.
Brilliance my dear is like the pearl. Prying it out is easy, finding the mollusk shell first in a sea littered with muck is hard.
tsk tsk. In the new order, we'd at least have to call him "Sir Butt Boy". To be a fly on that breakfast table: "So what did everybody do last night?" Garamet: I wrote a book that's gonna get me guillotined. Uncle Albert: The cops were having a boot party on that neighbor that plays his goddamned fucking music too loud and I joined in then they gave me some medal that I sold for booze. Sir Butt Boy? Bailey: I fucked the king
