and another ordered so much food he didnt eat that Texas now no longer gives special last meals: its the same food as all the other inmates

Yeah, I saw that mention.

Way to go, asshole, ruining it for all the other condemned.

That's peak douchery right there.

i am sorry, but if you are being put to death and it is justified, you get no sympathy; cause justice would be the vicitms' family going to town with achain saw

'humane execution' isn't justice to a cold-blooded killer

It's one of those rite things, the individual did some horrible act and is accountable because they're still human.

debatable

A terrible human, but still human.

reality doesn't care if soft human flesh hits the wall at 100 mph

They deserve the punishment, though with out question.

it just goes splat

Such compassion is an element that makes us human, though.

Reality be damned on this account.

i agree with that

but we are currently ovedosing on compassion

we are drowning in it

This is also very much true, alas.

@Bones PROTECT act

Start there

i take the hard stance because the over-arching problem is that we are holding everyone to the standards of the weakest, not the strongest

Damnit, I drew up a bath to balm my aching bones, but it's too hot. q.q

@Jack of Trades uwhhhhaaat?

@Laucivol I'll pee in it to cool it down!

No. @Jack of Trades

and if we don't toughen up, sooner or later that choice will be made for us

@Bones the loli question has been addressed by the government several times

As for the hard stance to counteract, don't swing the pendulum too far in the endeavor.

what is good enough punishment ffor the big-brains and would bring them to their knees doesnt even phase those others

It's easier to catch flies with honey, as opposed to vinegar, afterall.

PROTECT Act, thats where it starts

@Bones yes

Pedos don’t need compassion or protection.
They have legal rights.
The same legal rights as everyone else.
They have all the rights they deserve.
They do not need advocacy.
They are not entitled to your pity or compassion.

As I recall

it's easier to kill everything including the flies

just push a button

too much think that way

No, no one is *entitled* to pity or compassion and I'm all for the vigilante justice that's oft' carried out in prisons.

we can either toughen up by choice and thus have a degree of control of that pendulem swing

or... we can be trampled by it

Because tainting the possibility inherent in children with such things is beyond reprehensible.

pedos have two categories
>> the ones that don't matter - have urges and don't act/fap to fantasy material
>> the ones that go after kids and need to be removed ASAP

can't wait till game day to hit the gym

True, dat.

I think pedos should get help if they feel like their fantasy urges are approaching actions IRL

and in my our position, better to be more conservative at least on paper

Professional psychiatric help

you can't give compassion IF you lose control

@Uksio can we just make a suicide booth?

there is alot of that UKsio

Yes, that's how self-defence works

self-defence is useless against a mob intent on dismembering you

I have no objections to a suicide booth, but then again humanity will corrupt that concept and use it to get away with murder

So not yet

Not yet

Well, I will give you that real compassion is provisioned by discipline which isn't always "nice."

@Uksio nah, it's something they have to choose

I think a suicide booth is just an excuse to be Arkacide

@ManAnimal I meant compassion. Compassion ends where self-defence begins

Jeffrey Epstein was a "pedophile"

not for all

There is no level of escalation that is inappropriate for self defence

Aka the Clintons spread lies so they could kill him

for some compassion IS a form a of self defence

I'd also propose that compassion is a function of humility.

@Laucivol yes

wisedom but then they are the same

(Exercising discretion when having the upper hand.)

Slander is another concern

slander is irrelevant

If pedos are on the death row, then CNN is basically handed a Death Note into their grabby claws

I *could* curbstomp you, but I shall exercise mercy instead.

that isn't compassion

that is responsibilty

not abusing isn't compassion

it's duty

No such thing as a duty of compassion?

i think there is; but it a feminine thing

women have such a duty, especially to those that defend them

Compassion is not a duty

not to men, no

To no one.

to women yes

dont be a feminists

men and women aren't equal

and any woman that doens't show compassion for a child?

To their own children, they have that duty. As do fathers.
It doesn’t extend to wider society.

not a woman

for children of the community

because their own children won't survive alone

I would agree that it's valid for both on the wider scale towards children in general.

a duty is a function of some agreement, or arrangement

Civic duty exists.
Compassion, as a duty, beyond your family, does not.

again, communityy

the fact that it doesn't exist beyond one's nose is the problem

and the difference 2 generations make

Toward children, though? That particular group is notably both vulnerable and precious regardless of who's they are.

^^ agreed
