For Jim and Scott

I'd rather they spent my tax money on sterilization of criminals and deadbeats. I guess that would never work, though. The Dems need all the votes they can get.

JohnnyD, do you really believe that murderers should have the same right to live as an unborn child? I think you might just be trying to make your point, because I don't believe your really that much of an ignoramus.

I don't think I've presented any of my own opinions.

I just find it interesting that many people I know that state religious reasons for being pro-life also happen to support the death sentence. When they should be stating religious reasons for being against the death sentence.

Also, buckman is starting to know me well.

If those religions are against the death sentence and are religiously pro-life, then those many people are half-hypocrites. That hypocrasy is no argument against pro-life, they should be stating religious reasons for being against the death sentence as well as for being pro-life.

However, if those religions are not against the death sentence, there is no hypocrasy. Which religion is?

Further, we are in the era of "broad interpretation." Our contemporary judges, academics and philosophers, interpret their laws as they see fit. If you want to interpret your religious laws and commandments the way that suits you, that is now acceptable.

Yet you presented to us something that I assume is from the bible, since you called it the "good book" that certainly seems to be your opinion. Why would you throw something out there in a discussion if it wasn't your opinion? Are you just trying to get under someone's skin? Kind of petty if that's the case. Or, maybe it is you opinion and you don't want to come out and say it, so you throw it out there without admitting it? In that case, it's worse than just being petty.

And don't you worry, Buckman. Knowing JD well isn't as bad as it would appear on the surface. He's actually a good guy.

Totally. It's just an interesting trend amongst some of the people I know. To the latter part, I agree with you.

Watch yourself with that "good guy" malarkey. I don't want any preconceived standards set. I'm a "set low expectations" kind of guy.
