Death Penalty?

---

How come it always turns out that it's the other guys who die for what we believe? How many CongressCritters who voted for the war actually have family fighting there? Does anyone care about the tens and tens and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians that have died? But it's for their own good, right?

Talk about dying for what you believe in. Except for the mostly poor Southerners who are deployed, we haven't sacrificed a thing, much less our lives.

We seem to consider the all-volunteer military to be as disposable as a tin can. Bring back the draft.

yep!take 'em fightin' and screamin'Cael if dying to give his life for his beliefs.

Some people here think that no one deserves it, but what would you have done to nazis involved with the holocaust. One was hanged but i think we should have punished germany more than a slap on the wrist.

> i think we should have punished germany more than a slap on the wrist

The country was destroyed. Its industrial capacity was bombed to smithereens. They weren't industrially competetive again for many decades. Slapping them long and hard after WW I is what led to WW II. A lot of the war criminals were imprisoned or executed.

What more would you have done?

killed the ones who were imprisoned.

ummmmm

Oh you killed 5 million people!! Here you go here we are going to give your factories back!!!

ok... where's everybody getting the crack from?

im talking about how germany should of been punished more for the holocaust.

Why would a whole country be punished because of the actions of part of the population? Some of the Nazis from the concentration camps however are still being put on trial today if discovered.

Ever here of crystal nacht seems like the whole country took part in that one.

I've never really heard much about that would you care to explain what happened?

before they started killing. they had a night where everyone went around and smashed up jewish shops and home and things like that.

I read that was the Hitler youth. German citzens participated in this also?

It was just about everyone. like a state sponsored riot.

Germany, state... country, what?Jews are hott

you know what i mean...smartass

smartass? oh boy here we go.

In reply to: You take a life, you give up yours. Oh I see, it's all so simple now! We install "Morality bombs" in people's heads as soon as they're born and when they kill someone (murder or manslaughter or self-defence) they just automatically up and die! Neat plan!Seriously though, that simple sentence ignores the possibility of an innocent person ever being wrongfully executed.
