"Baby Killer" given life sentence
The death penalty is too good for him. I think that prison is even better for him. Instead of just escaping, he has to live with himself, in a tiny box of a room, and will probably be beaten and raped daily by other inmates,

Freedom of Speech
The lasts three posts are exactly right. Scenario 1: I think that president Bush is a bad leader. :thumbup: Scenario 2: I think that president Bush is a bad leader, and he will be shot. :thumbdown:

"Baby Killer" given life sentence
i hadn't thought of that. but if someone did that to my little sister i wouldnt just kill them, id make sure they suffered and died painfully and slowly. but im not saying he deserves that. The fact is that that the american penal system isn't too damn lenient, it doesn't treat people fairly. It's quite ridiculous that the rich and famous can get away with doing horrible things, but anybody that isn't famous or doesnt have millions and millions of dollars has to go to jail for long periods of time, even if their crime isn't that bad. the whole system itself is greatly flawed. But the guy probably had some sort of mental problem. Who says the rich and famous can get away with crimes? Noone is above the law. The PRESIDENT can be arrested.

You COULD write it, but it would be WAY too messy to read.

"Baby Killer" given life sentence
"An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." It's a good quote, but it doesn't prove anything. An eye for an eye is a great system. The only trouble is this: What if the person turns out to be innocent? An eye for an eye can work, but not until investigation technology gets to the point where it's impossible to get an innocent person. The idea is that society has evolved past the barbarian stage. And that quote was from Gandhi. You don't mess with Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was a great person, and I love his peaceful ideas. But punishment for crime isn't good enough. I read a quote somewhere called "Pudgy on Crime" from the New York Times. I believe it went: "The fact is, we as Americans are not tough on crime, but pudgy, with great rolls of fat hanging from our bellies and brains." That isn't the exact quote, but the moral of the story is: We're too damn lenient.

Freedom of Speech
We in the U.S. (and I think the U.K.) have freedom of speech. But you see, there needs to be limits. For example, yelling "fire" in a movie theatre could be dangerous. It causes a panic and people can get hurt. But you can criticize the government, somethingt you can't do in many countries. Basically, there are only three things you can't do with freedom of speech. 1. Cause a false panic. 2. Disturb the peace. 3. Slander An elaboration on #2: You have every right to say you don't believe in God, but lets say you run into a church and scream "I don't believe in God!". Your disturbing the peace, and could get arrested for it. But if you do it in a way that just expresses your opinion and doesn't interfere with others time, there's no problem. Example: Your friend is going to Church and he asks you if you want to come. You say "No thanks, I don't believe in 'God." That's perfectly fine. P.S. I'm not trying to turn this into a religious thread, this was just the first example that came to mind. Edit: Also, COMPLETE freedom = anarchy = bad.

"No God" adverts to run on bendy buses in London
To the above poster that said Richard Dawkins is an idiot: While I perosnally disagree with Atheism, why does that make him an idiot? I would not go up to a Catholic, or a Muslim, and say "Haha, you worship a God, idiot". Because it's an opinion. So because you disagree with someone doesn't make them an idiot.

Halo 3 Recon speculation thread
Because this isn't Halo 3, so it gets it's own thread. Still, wasn't there a thread a while back for all things Halo in general? I think this belongs there.

Brain tumor
It's better than a post from waaay back. I remember a guy who said he had a brain tumor or cancer or something, and that was his goodbye thread. Everyone gave sympathy. This was back in 2004. I thought "Wow, that's kind of sad". I then looked at his recent posts. He posted again in 2006 :ohnoes:

Call of Duty: World at War
Normally I would say that anything by Treyarch is automatic crap. And so far, it has been, from their first game to their last. But from watching some clips of WaW, I think that maybe, just maybe, they finally did something right.

Tom Clancy's EndWar.
Agreed, your strategies look like they were planned by Tom Clancy himself. P.S. Doesn't this game come out in like 2-3 weeks? Like, really early November?
