oh, for christ's sake; there are dozens of ways that image could be interpreted but, please, continue to see things exactly the way you want to see them.  ::)

Sure, but no others came to mind that would fit this context quite so well.

i reckon it's jealousy about my purple and black striped socks, myself.

can't blame anyone for that, obviously: who wouldn't be jealous, eh?

fine, but that reveals far more about the limitations of your "mind" than it does about my choice of avatar.

Bite me, fuckface.  :wanker:

no thanks; knowing your propensity to hold grudges, you would probably taste extremely bitter!

I'd have thought you'd be an expert on bitterness by now, Auntie.

Do you really think capital punishment is the best punishment? I think:

1. It's not a real punishment for a really grose crime. The anxiety before the execution is performed is the real punishment. I would rather be executed than locked up in jail, beaten and raped by other inmates for decades...

2. It's irreversible. Some people convicted are really innocent.

maybe they should recreate the anxiety before execution on a weekly basis, without following through with the execution.

sometimes, just for kicks, they should actually hook up all the electrical devices and have it operated by a car battery or something.

I agree with your second reason, Litigious.  I know that there were lots of innocent people who were convicted and their convictions were later overturned because of The Innocence Project, which re-investigates old convictions with modern techniques such as DNA analysis.  Even DNA analysis, as conclusive as it may seem, could lead to some wrongful convictions because it could be planted on a crime scene or there could be a laboratory error.

I agree with both of these statements.

Capital punishment is a pretty bad vengeance. Will a serial killer suffer as much as his victims did? No. If you would like a direct physical punishment to get vengeance, molestation is much better. Thats a real punishment. Cut of the criminal's arms, legs and testicles. Stick out his eyes. That's real vengeance. If you want the criminal taken away for good, so he can never hurt other people again, than you can probably kill him. But then you have to have almost 100% evidence, like a surveillance camera actually catching him in the deed. But capital punishment as vengeance only is childish.

Yes, that should be the decisive factor when applying the death penalty. But there will not always be a certainty of 100%, which makes it hard to sentence someone for it in order to maintain actual justice.

If it is certain I'm in for all kinds of tough punishments (depending on the deed and circumstances of course). But if that's not the case, I'd rather have them doing hard labour (the 19th century kind of hard labour that is of course). Some convicts may learn to get used to working 18-20 hours per day and may go through their prison time with ease, but they will be of use to society (=shitty jobs the government likes to do as cheap as possible).
