What's the point of keeping him alive? Is he going to be a productive member of society one day? No. Is he ever going to achieve freedom? No. So why would you as a taxpaying member of society want to feed and clothe him for the next fifty years? So you can feel like you don't have blood on your hands? What's the difference if he dies tomorrow or in fifty years? There is none, except the latter permits the off chance that he finds some happiness in this world. After what he did, he deserves no happiness.Doctor Strangelove wrote:

One Nation has very very strong Australian political overtones. Hint: name of an insanely racist party that cropped up a few years back. Just found it weird, that's all. And mildly ironic.11 Bravo wrote:

More or less your media is just trying to make something out of nothing."I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Come on Spark. You're smarter than that.
