hi chris .if you ask me l blame the jurisdiction for innocent ones being sent to death ,not teh death penalty.
I had a hard time with the poll. I don't really consider myself pro-life or pro-choice. Personally, I don't think I would have an abortion, but I can still understand why some women might choose to do so. I hear about cases of abuse and neglect and, although it may sound cruel in it's own way, I have to wonder if that particular child I hear about on the news would have been better off had he or she not even been born.
As far as SSM, I think that, as long as it's another person of legal consensual age, a person should be able to marry whomever he or she wants without the government having a say in it. It's not the government's or anyone else's business, IMO, who a person decides to marry or have a relationship with, so I suppose that makes me pro-SSM.
I'm definitely pro-2nd amendment. I am a strong believer in protecting ALL of our rights as citizens. I think they are all extremely important and all serve an important purpose in maintaining our freedoms. I don't believe that the government should be able to interfere with or infringe upon any of our rights, and I think those who DO want the government to intervene are traitors to American citizens.
Although I don't have a huge issue with Obamacare, I'm certainly not a fan of it, and I would like to see something done that would actually decrease the costs of our healthcare, because THAT is where the real issue lies. I know that malpractice insurance plays a role in this, and there should be limitations on the dollar amount a person can collect as a result of these suits. Malpractice insurance can cost an individual doctor $120,000 a YEAR, and THAT is just outrageous. I don't even KNOW how much a clinic or hospital has to pay. No wonder they charge us $10.00 for an aspirin or $50.00 for an IV bag of salt water when we go to the hospital! :roll:
I am pretty much strongly against the death penalty. I don't want my government killing citizens at it's whim, it's super expensive, it's time consuming and clogs up the justice system, it's cruel and unusual, and innocent people have been and sometimes are put to death. That is disgusting IMO when it is completely unnecessary because those killers can be given LWOP.
hi chris .if you ask me l blame the jurisdiction for innocents being sent to death ,not teh death penalty.
Well, in states where there is no death penalty, there is no death penalty being carried out.
some monsters must be executed because we can easily prove they are not innocent .
I don't think Obamacare does nearly enough, but it does mitigate inflation.
It doesn't matter. The problem is that there is always the chance that the evidence is wrong, contaminated or purposefully tampered with, and innocent people are put to death needlessly.
Tell me, why do we HAVE to put them to death when we have LWOP?
if you were a victim's relative who were both raped and killed ..imagine this.
Pro choice, pro ssm, don't care about guns, pro single payer universal health care, anti death penalty.
l thought you were pro choice and anti gun.
I need a don't really care, don't really care, pro, don't really care, don't really care option.
Pro everything except Obamacare, which I have mixed feelings about.
Also, I'm pretty sure that there are 2^5=32 possibilities, since 5! would imply 5 choices for the first option, 4 for second and so forth.
I am for death penalty -- I believe prison terms over 15 years are cruel. In USSR after 1953, the maximum prison term was 15 years. But there were a few hundred executions a year.
Why can't one simultaneously be opposed to life imprisonment and state-sanctioned murder? I do not hold the position myself, but nevertheless, it is a valid one.
In USSR, the most common term for murder was 15 years. But aggravated murder usually carried death penalty.
I'm not asking for how the U.S.S.R. treated criminals. I'm asking why you oppose life imprisonment, but support the death penalty. I understand the argument against life imprisonment, but I've never heard it combined with pro-death penalty sentiments.
Need to change my choice...I think I effed up and read the choices wrong.
l am:
-pro choice
-pro SSM
-pro gun
-kinda pro obamacare _ I think it attempts to fix flaws in the system but in a flawed way. We really need single payer. Health care should be considered a right not a privilege
-anti death penalty
a right that requires others to pay for it is not a right
I don't know about a right, but a society can choose to deal with a real problem as a community. It's been done before.
Exactly.
The current approval of states supporting CCW is an excellent reflection of this.
Anyone who supports the right of the State to execute citizens deserves to have their head shaken by a very large man in hopes it will smarten them up.
