I believe the study, but right now the bad girl in me is asking, "whatever happened to the good old days of just poisoning bad people with arsenic...it's so much cheaper."
I know that sounds real Eye for an Eye Old Testament, but when it comes to protecting kids...I suck at the Christian Great Commandment. I really do. | |

Me too. I'm all for fighting fire with fire especially when the end result is I still get burned. If I gotta go at least I take my enemy with me. Letting this pervs run around to repeat offend or letting then sit in a prison watching tv, getting 3 meals a day and getting to read books and expand their horizons is pure bullshit IMO. Our society is not better because we spare their lives when they have already ruined the lives of victim after victim. Look at the costs for keeping them alive, add in the costs for counseling their countless victims, add in the cost for prosecuting them once they are released and offend again, add in the costs of monitoring them once they are realeased, add in the costs for their state sponsored legal defense, add in the cost of prosecuting their victims should those victims grow up to commit the same offense. Sorry but it aint cheaper to keep these turds alive. We're being hustled by the anti-death penalty opponents. Fuck their math and fuck their feelings. I aint the gatdamn Dali Llama and I aint Jesus when it comes to this horribly disgusting filthy ass crime. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

Good Lord, you've had to work through cases like this?
A bit unrelated, but, have you ever seen the movies "Little Children" and "Precious" ?
Many people were in an uproar about these films because of plot and sexual content, bit I felt they presented a very frank voice regarding abuse...in a way that makes you think...abuse and abusers aren't faceless people experiencing something that's "someone else's problem" in these movies... | |

So show us what it actually cost to house an inmate for life v. execution.
My guess is you won't try. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

What are those costs in actual dollars?
It is cheaper. Saying otherwise doesn't change the facts.
You just don't want to acknowledge the facts that conflict with your beliefs. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

That cost is x. No way to determine what that is. Are you trying to put a dollar amount on emotional, psychological harm? You can't. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Actually....the courts put dollar amounts on emotional and psychological harm all of the time, and it can be astronomical.......and the judges often feel the amounts awarded with completely insufficient. I too disagree....kill the fucking bastards.
and if you want to argue your point, perhaps you should start a thread of your own on it so it get detailed......this thread is about the episode on Dr. Phil, not about if the death penalty is more cost effective than life in prison...... Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. | |

and maybe not so much a blind eye, as the belief that no one is doing anything WRONG..its unfortunate that some parents do not recognize the wrong they do..without too much detail.. my own mother who separately dated brothers (older one first, then when that broke off, the younger one) never believed anything until.. despite the fact my sister told my mother about the older one abusing the 3 youngest girls, she didnt believe a word untill the same male started messing around with a friend of my moms who was staying there( she was grown) its strange, how mad she when she WANTED to believe..tho she still never turned his ass in..me and my other 2 sisters learned early on there was no help at home..my mom then dated the younger brother, who really had a penchant for beating helpless little kids..and she never saw a f**kin thing wrong with it..she lied under oath to a judges face in defense of him..i guess it WAS a GOOD thing there were bruises on me to say different..state of florida kept sending us back..he was also molesting my next oldest sister who has epilepsy and cerebal palsey..got her pregnant, and DNA proved it was his kid..she stood by her 'man' tho.. and shat upon her children in favor of him..the child was adopted out..she is still with this garbage till this day..happily taking every insult he throws at her as a compliment..
i have never seen someone so happy to be called worthless in my life..but he could be right about that one..
and much later i discovered things about those times that even i wont talk about..except to say there were many times she set me up to be alone with him.. its a wonder im not a criminal 'why y'all trying to say goodbye? I didn't go anywhere, I'm right here, im all around you,always..'

1. It would vary by inmate and by state/institution in which they are housed. Something your beloved execution factoids overlook. This is common sense really. The costs of either executions or keeping deathrow inmates alive cannot truly be determined but one thing for sure is that a living person will always costs more than a dead person. Dead people don't eat, they don't use electricity, they don't receive medical care, they don't receive education, they don't receive psychiatric treatment, they don't require monitoring during visitation with family or attorneys, they don't incur legal bills, you dont have to pay the salaries of the guard that watch them. I mean good god is this really too hard to comprehend?
You are against the death penalty so anything that supports your position regardless of the math or the omitted points, you will jump on it. Back atcha playa! I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

That's all conjecture and speculation. You are more wedded to capital punishment than I am to life imprisonment. You choose to ignore facts or dismiss then because they don't support your belief in executions. Show me that it costs less to execute in any state than life imprisonment. ANY state. Please.
Why do you think that the cost of life imprisonment v. execution can't be determined when everything you cite is billable and someone will be paid? Someone pays for it, so it can be accounted for and measured against the costs of life imprisonment. Give me facts, not your strong beliefs. Believe what you will but I need facts to be persuaded and you aren't going to offer any are you? I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

Neither of you can show anyone facts that support the idea that the death penalty is cheaper than life imprisonment.

The ONLY reason DP would be more expensive is because of the decades long appeal process. 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Exactly! Supr knows this. Hell, everyone knows this.
I still argue that its not more expensive because the true cost cannot be determined since all DP cases are not handled the same nor take the same amount of time. Also, not all states have the DP so how can we say that it is more expensive than keeping inmates alive? So the potential execution of roughly 3200 death row inmates in 34 states is more costly than keeping 2 million plus inmates in all 50 states alive when those inmates can live to be in their 80s/90s?
Some people can't see the forest for the trees and some people take any statistic as gospel without using their own common sense. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
