There is a difference between justice and vengeance. Vengeance is what would happen if justice isn't served.

Pardon me, but I don't think you are interested in justice. I think you are interested in vengeance. Take your quote below: "Tex and I are apparently in the minority here, but I will not apologize for believing that anyone who would rape a child should die. And it should be the slowest, most excruciating painful death possible." Is that justice? |

If the state decided that lethal injection would be appropriate, that's fine with me. And I have absolutely no reason to justify how I feel about it to you.

That ends the debate rather quickly, doesn't it? You may find it less time consuming to refrain from posting in a debate at all. |

I look at the death penalty as just punishment for an appropriate crime. Not revenge. Quote:

Cruel and unusual is subjecting oneself to Cali Coug's trademarked Death-By-Hen-Pecking.
