First, Im for the death penalty. 100% deterrent, that guy who gets fried isnt going kill anyone else, is he?

Second, if we catch Osama Bin Laden, do you guys know how much money could be made if they put his execution on Pay-per-view?

If you kill, you get killed. Thats the way I think it should be. If you beat your spouse, the spouse gets a police baton while you are chained to a wall. If you molest kids, good bye pecker! If you steal from somones house, everything is taken from you and your taxes DOUBLED.

That's how it will be if you vote for me next election!

Whoever says that should be banned from breeding.

Example:
I was watching a show on car thieves, most of it was centered in Newark, NJ. Anyway they get kids to steal cars b/c the penalty is lenient. A kid could steal a few cars before he gets in any real trouble worth worrying about. Anyway one of the young kids had got caught twice stealing cars, on the third time he got caught a cop thought he had a gun and shot the kid. When the reporter asked the kid if he would ever steal again he reply "no" with this horrid look on his face.

I remember watching a movie a few years back about a prison with no walls, it was set on a island in the middle of no where. If you got a life term, you were flown to this island by plane and pushed out. You did not get any food or water. You had to live off the land, also you had to get along with all of the other people that were there and most did not last more than a few days. They brought supplies only once a year, and it was not enough to begin with. Cost was only the amount of fuel the planes used to get the prisioners there. I think we need one of these islands.

I think we should strap them down and psych them out a few times before we dim the lights... or have like 3 switches to choose from , 2 give a small jolt and the 3rd turns out the lights , they get 30 seconds to choose or a timer flips the switch. ... or how about human medical research ? ... I do like that idea about outsourceine the prisons to Russia

definitely death penalty for more serious crimes.
needs to be carried out much faster though. 7 days for one appeal if it doesn't work, so long sucker.

if we can't have that then mroldv8 said it the best. send em off to russia with love. my buddy is married to a russian gal who spent 2 years as a russian prison guard in siberia. not a nice place to be.

as far as rights for prisoners. isn't it funny how prisoners have more rights and a better life style then those who defend our country.

at the very least they should have to eat those mre's like the gi's. where does it say their food has to be hot?

TeamTrent - I think that movie was No Escape

also speaking of all these ideas, does anyone remember George Carlins theories on turning a few boxy states into prison with high fences?

Question

Hmmmmm. So what does all this say about pickup truck drivers? Would we still support the death penalty if we all drove, let's say, a Lexus???????

No condiments?

I'm surprised the pregnency rate isn't much higher in prison.

And he's all for the death penalty too. Of course he does wheel the crap out of a Grand Cherokee too.

No need to do that. We could all just pick one word to mispell everytime, like...'Conehead'.

Well, if its about trucks, lets lie them all down and drive over them with our lifted trucks. Kind of like monster trucks but with out the cars!! It would not cost the state anything. All I want is a free truck wash to wash off the parts and pieces that got on my rig. I don't really think we would think any diffrent if we all drove BMW's, Lexus, Caddies, or any other lux cars. Its just harder to fit a body under it when you drive over them. Hehe

Rowool,

I can assure you that Conehed is spelled correctly. If there's one think I can do it's spell. Unfortunately, I can't type worth a sheet.
