    People are afraid of wolves, yet no healthy wolf has killed a human, and multiple people are killed by dogs a day.

    In this country, it costs more money to house each inmate in a small cell, than the median income of each person who works to support himself.

    Felons don't have the right to vote everywhere... But regardless they SHOULD have the right to vote. Did this in debate and am willing to discuss :D

    I will have to pass on your discussion, My family is a strong believer that people in prison, who have broken the law, threw away their rights when they broke the law, and don't get me started on capitol punishment

    so lets just agree to disagree :P

    Excellent discussions are only fun if the two viewpoints are the extreme opposites. So by saying they threw their rights away you mean that they broke the social contract and therefore should not be members of a society anymore? But then why would you release them back into society? Also if you see that there is no chance of reform why bother with prison sentences? Why not kill anyone who harms the society through stealing, killing etc...?

    Its on brotha :D

    O boy,

    You are thinking ahead of me, I am not saying that if they go to prison they should not be released, I am saying that during their term in prison, they should not have a say in the community/government etc. Stealing is the least of the problems when it comes to people in prison. Killing on the other hand, in the first degree, SHOULD be a death sentence, why waste the tax payers money to give convicted murderers a better life than some of the people who have broken the law and killed someone.

    Also, I did not say that there is no chance of reform, people who steal I am all for them getting out for a second chance in society, in which they WILL have their rights to vote along with other things.

    Thats all I am going to say on this topic, as much as I hate to see DutchHerp
    without the entertainment of us "debating". haha

    Every year, 5.4 million people are killed by a slow, very sluggish moving train, one they can see, smell, hear, and feel coming. Yet they are still standing on the tracks!



    This is why I quit smoking, I don't want to get hit by a sluggish train.

    ...

    Though I would agree with you but because of our laws..

    Prisoners appeal after appeal and court fees and so forth make it cost the tax payers more money to try to "apply" the death sentence to a prisoner then to let him live life in prison.. Sad huh...

    Sorry, Pat, it was a good thought!!!

    My line:

    People's parents are paying for their college education at a big University when they don't even want to go. While some people are taking out HUGE loans and working multiple jobs just to go to the local Community College... :weirdface

    Haha well Felon can mean someone currently incarcerated and someone who has been released. I was making statements about a "ex-felon" who had paid his dues to society. While in jail I do not feel a felon has the privilege to vote so I agree :)

    We can download high res DVD files for free, and watch them on a T.V. faster than a trip to the video store takes, and CD's faster than a trip to the local Best Buy.

    When a B.S. bill gets introduced, we have the ability hear about it immediately, research it and crush it, without hardly getting out of our arm chairs.

    People being concerned over the well-being of "exotic-pets" kept by loving keepers, while munching a chickenfilet produced in the distgusting massproduction of the human food industry... i really hate these hypocrites....:mad:
    I do not want to discuss death punishment, but if you support it, you should now it is capital, not capitol, or do you want to smash the criminal with a huge building...? Do not get me wrong, but it could be a simple mistake like this, that could cost an innocent persons life, it happened and will happen...:confused:
