It actually cost more to follow through with the death penalty per capita. Originally Posted by gimme_thatAs they say ... "The best things in life are not free!"
Victim of abuse or not, anyone that admits to almost 2 dozen thrill kills has something seriously wrong with them.I personally know several abuse victims that did not randomly murder strangers! Originally Posted by Riverstud

im not saying she is justified, I am saying it isnt surprising that abuse is in the history. Very few are born this way, but I have met a few sociopathic kids, as young as 5...scary shit and a great argument for abortion.
And look at the bios of most of the serial killers, abuse is in the background. People create these monsters for the most part, however yes some are born bad.
As far as the potshot by the grumpy old fuck who has a chip on his shoulder, maybe I am crazy, psycho, who knows. All I know is crazy makes for the best sex one could have!!

... But there are cases where no atonement is possible because the evil committed is an absolute evil, and it’s here that we reject the Christian point of view. We think that such evil exists. One may excuse all the offenses and all the crimes individuals commit against society, but when a man deliberately applies himself to degrade another man and turn him into a thing, it is necessary to eradicate from the earth a scandal that nothing can undo. That is the only sin against man, but when it is committed, no indulgence is permitted, and it is man’s responsibility to punish it.
