Death Penalty

[taylovesthebeatles]

I am unequivocaly opposed to the death penalty in all cases. It costs more, is poorly carried out, and lawyers who take on death penalty cases do a ****ty job representing their clients. Plus innocent people are executed all the time. If you want to watch a really good movie on the subject, rent The Life of David Gale. It has Kevin Spacey and Kate Winslet in it and is very well acted and gripping, in addition to being informative. Unlike others here I also do not support the death penalty when applied to killers or rapists of family members. Death for these criminals, especially in our justice system, is too easy and often what these criminals want, and someone who is a criminal shouldn't be given what they want. They should be forced to live with their crime, as I being the relative of someone hurt am forced to live with it every day as well. Killing someone who is an imminent threat to your family is self defense, but the state killing people is playing God. No human should be in charge of someone living or dying. This is why I also oppose abortion. Many people who oppose the death penalty support a woman's right to an abortion, but I do not. To do so is nothing short of hypocritical. A life is a life, and they are all precious and meaningful to someone.

Kevin Spacey is the man. Se7en, LA Confidential, The Usual Suspects, and American Beauty, all priceless. I am always looking for a new flick to check into to get my mind of schoolwork and poker. Do you know if it is on demand on Starz, Showtime, HBO, or TMC? Thanks!

I really don't know as it's not a very popular movie for some reason, but it should be available through Netflix for sure. Also another good Kevin Spacey movie to check out is "21", all about blackjack. Both should be on Netflix or Blockbuster for sure.

I saw '21', I thought it was alright. Definitely not one of my favorite Spacey movies. HOWEVER, I did finally see The Departed last night, which was pretty awesome. I hate Matt Damon though, he is always such a dull character. Good thing they through in Leo and Jack to spice up the movie. And the therapist was on fire.

kill em all

Wow.. thats not nice.
There are probably a culture of death sentence around there that says "kill those criminal monsters" but like tay said, the real reality is different.
The system dont is not really efficient and it works for the ones who controls it.
Anyway.. Say no to death penalty. Say yes to life. Create a better prison system. Create a better education system, creates a better societie.
