...thoughts? comments?

I thought I'd have more of an emotional reaction, but I find myself oddly uninterested. I thought I'd be all happy and triumphant feeling and whatnot.

I still think he should have been forced to host a State-approved children's show wearing a bunny costume. This whole "death by hanging" thing strikes me as a bit more martyr-ey than I'd like.

I'd have watched that.

LadyMongoloid you are a fricken genius!

I'm opposed to murder by the state, be it war, execution, preventing aid that is donated (like plenty of third world countries where they take our foreign humanitarian aid and put it to uses other than humanitarian--but corrupt government is a redundancy in my book). Executing Saddam is the same as what Saddam was convicted of. The state should not have the power to take any life.

I'm happy to see him die, and I'm especially glad that they made it a cruel form of execution, none of this lethal injection crap. Good job, I say.

I agree. Also, I think it was a bit rude how they cut him off in mid-sentence.

Have you missed all of the news stories lately about lethal injection?

xolik · « **Reply #10 on:** December 31, 2006, 08:04:39 PM »

Too bad the American justice system isn't as efficient. Guilty, appeal, ok that's done and you're gonna die next week. Next.

Corrected.

I do wish that trials and such are able to come up more often though, instead of having to wait months or years...

Start with those and then continue to do your own research about how lethal injection works.

It's better than a fucking animal like him deserves. I'm glad it went wrong and he had to experience pain when he died. How about all the pain he caused the family members of the guy he murdered. I especially found his nephews comment at the end amusing, about how his uncle was in pain when he died. Well maybe if he didn't kill someone else he wouldn't have been going through it. Just a thought.

Agent_Tachyon · « **Reply #15 on:** January 02, 2007, 02:50:15 PM »

I don't see what that would help. The people he killed are still dead, and barring invocation of various deities, they're going to stay that way regardless of how sorry Saddam is.

You know, I was in the process of formulating a nice, big, point-by-point response to this. Then I said, "Fuck it!" You see, I came to the realization that it would be completely pointless. I would be wasting my time. No matter how small and monosyllabic my words are, you just wouldn't get it anyway. Or, maybe you're just trolling. Either way, thanks for playing.

Yes, because I'm not a hippy tree hugger I must obviously be trolling and/or stupid. I'd say the type of person that would make that kind of generalization is the one with the real intelligence problem, moron.

My opposition to the death penalty and my arborphilia are completely unrelated!

Yeah, one's sexual and the other is....Um are you sure they're completely unrelated Lacerda
