Quote by: tivodan1116  I don't know, why do Canadians like to think that they are somehow better than Americans?  |
Why do you continually think we're trying to make ourselves better looking then you?
Can't help it if you feel that way... perhaps it's true.... until you figure it out for yourself, how about you stick to the dam topic, instead of generalizing like some ignorant person?
Is he attacking the US? No..... he's attacking a polocy in one State...... get a clue.

Well, when you say "they" I hope you mean "criminal justice professionals," not "voters". The average voter is a complete idiot and knows nothing of the sort, especially in Texas.

Well that's reassuring. :rolleyes:

Again, people with educations in criminal justice, yes. Voters, not so much.

Voter ignorance isn't our fault.... perhaps you guys should educate your public on these matters, so those in power don't get away with as much as they do.... just an idea.

Hi. You're Canadian. You still have a HEREDITARY Head of State, as do many so-called civilized countries. End of Discussion. |
Although I can't say I agree with his reponse you responded to.... what does this have to do with capital punishment and how does it make End of Discussion?

The person being executed might be innocent by your standard, but according to the article, by the standard of the law in Texas, he is guilty. That you disagree with the standard does not make him "innocent". There is no such thing as "factual" innocence of murder. Murder is a legal standard and so if Texas decides that being present at a murder is murder, it is.

Sounds like a foolish law if you ask me..... if someone is shot in a bar during a saturday night..... does everybody become guilty of the muder, or just those who knew the murderer and went to the bar with them? :rolleyes:
Perhaps I'm not getting the full picture of this law..... by all means, educate me.

I disagree with drug laws, but legally speaking people convicted of those crimes are still legally guilty.

I suppose they are..... but this topic is not whether or not this is a law..... rather should it remain as a law, as my understanding goes.
As mentioned before, I support capital punnishment..... but this just doesn't seem logical.
