FINALLY ANOTHER ENTRY BY ME!
Well....i finally got the new blogger thing to work. It took forever for me to get it without a computer freezing. So i guess that my goal of writing a repsonse every night this week didn't work out, bu definitely not because of a lack of trying.
But i seem to be on a roll of writing today i wrote my poetry assignment (WAY OVERDUE!) and my whole short story, all seven pages of it. So now i figured before i go to sleep i would get this thing working, and what do u know, it worked! So, Cvetich said we should write about important things, in the news and such, so that got me thinking about current issues and then i happened to go to philosophy class where VanEek wa discussing the concept of capital punishment. So i guess i could talk about my opinion on that.
So...killing someone because they killed someone?That makes alot of sense right?Wrong! My personal feeling is that it is never ok to take someone's life, no matter the circumstances. I feel that by sendng a person to prison for life without parole is much better solution. Not only are we not supporting the idea of "two wrongs make a right" but we are also forcing hte person to fae themseleves everyday and think about what they have done and feel the shame and guilt that go along with it.i would much rather support using tax money to keeping a murderer or rapist in prison to suffer and deal with their actions than grant them the easy eay out and commit the same act that they did by taking their life away. Anyone reading this may or may not agree with me, but we talked about it in philosphy so i thought i would mention it on here. Let me know what you think about it, whether you agree or disagree it is definitely a controversial topic. I am tired and will be heading to bed, until we meet again...

I agree Bridgett. Taking someone's life because thehy took someone's life isn't right. But the other thing I don't think is right is letting, for example, rapists or murders, off so easy. They may say they're sorry this time but what happens the next time?
I don't think that killing someone because they killed someone is the right thing to do. Not because they don't DESERVE it... but because sometimes living with your regrets is worse than death. Then again, if the person is a pyschopath, they don't have the ability to feel remorse or regret. Which sucks. I agree with Vicky on the fact that Rapists and Murderers get off really easily sometimes. Like, Karla Homolka? WTF! WHY IS SHE ALLOWED TO LIVE HER LIFE NORMALLY AFTER WHAT SHES DONE! oooo i dont give a CRAP if she *just assisted* in the murders or not.. she should have been locked away forever. But that is just the way our unjust world works.
I agree with capital punishment. Does it make you a murderer to kill a murderer? Putting them in jail kills them just the same but it prolongs it. Why not just get it over with? Your still in fact stealing their life if they are in jail so it is just the same. And besides i heard it cost more for capital punishment then to keep them in jail for their entire life....
