This is just one case, but do you seriously think that it doesn't matter if a person is mentally and kills someone due to that?

Also, the murdering of non-American civilians by American soldiers?

Something about the statistics


How many mentally ill killers vs. Non mentally ill killers. You can only justify that statement by official F.B.I statistics. Show the statistics, I don't want anecdotes.

Ok. Didn't know that. One source says that there are no statistics and many other say that there is absolutely no correlation between mental illness and murder statistics. Appears that I'm wrong.

But isn't 'mentally ill people' a little bit too bit of a broad concept? For instance, I wouldn't expect people with a low self-esteem alone to be murderers. But I guess there are some other mental diseases that cause murder or if a person is taught to be used to violence and scary situations? I don't know, honestly!

Hey guize, I've got an idea. Lets have death row inmates battle each other to death in televised matches! WEP gets to see prisoners battle each other to death, and Texas gets their death penalty. Everyone wins.

Except the prisoners and the taxpayers, but besides that everyone wins!

But in all seriousness we shoudnt be barbaric by killing prisoners, they're called prisoners for a reason.

No big deal. You've been brainwashed society and it's Ableist stereotypes. Such bigotry enables society to be comfortable in its bigotry and stereotypes.

Yes. This kind of "grind you to dust" sentiment is most often expressed by children. Adults tend to have a less "black and white", more realistic view of war. And everything, really.

What's the Babby crack ? Big deal, I'm an Adult Baby. But your not talking to him right now and yes, *I* would be willing to nuke Mecca if some Extremist Muslim Radical group nuked America. I'm not him, and he's not me. He'd just be glad for a cuddle, lol.

Yes, it was VERY ineffective in WW II . I suppose that's why the Allies won the war?

No it wasn't.

Consider Dresden. Almost all of the strategic targets were either unscathed or repaired in a matter of days. The rail lines, the key industrial target, were running for the first train at 9am the following morning.

Baby crack is similar to regular street crack but it's been cut with weaker stimulants.

For a 40 year old you seem to think awfully like a 14 year old.

So are you saying that people who have mental illnesses shouldn't seek for help and that nothing should be done about people like Breivik and several school shooting incidents, because those actions are perfectly fine? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Allied won because they outproduced the Nazis. Not because of the bombing campaigns.

No, of course not! But society has to learn not to blame us for everything. We aren't like the movies, the stupid shows that makes us seem like blood thirsty killers. Let's be honest, when it comes to killing, "normal" people do well on their own. See us as people, not some blood thirsty sterotype of Jason from Friday the 13th. See us for what we ARE.

I don't like formula. I'm fine with regular milk, juice or water. Also I use a sippy cup.

Is there a thread where I can debate with people who go on about how serial killers shouldn't be executed? I'm seeing a lot of that here.

I agree that they shouldn't be given a rifle and blown up in The Middle East, but I sure as hell don't want pay taxes for a person who killed 20 people and beg for mercy by pleading insanity.

Feel free to start one. I don't think we've had a death penalty thread yet this week.

The alternative to paying taxes to keep dangerous criminals in prison is to set them free. Do you want that?

Executed and be done with it, that's what I'm implying.

Where did you get that?
