PLEBA Girls Party: New Year, old friends

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Ahh....Like I said...I was like "Oh...he died today?" in a ehh.....whatever kind of voice.

 

[Drea]

its ok!

So what do you guys think what would be the right answer instead of te death penalty?

I don't know if there's a "right" answer, but vengeance - which the death penalty is - certainly isn't any kind of answer. How can a society that says "killing is wrong" turn around and kill people who break that law?

 

[flybabe]

whatever is right,the guy stunk is all I have to say

 

[tpsreports2424]

wait...he did?!

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I think it depends on the victims and the court (meaning judge and jury) in my eyes.

My views on the death penalty is the same as abortion...I'm kind of a flip flopper.

 

[flybabe]

wait...he did?!

you didn`t know or are you playing

That brings up a great point. its just being hipocritical..(however you spell it)

 

[redhotswami]

Zach - I think atonement is a far more compassionate and severe punishment.

 

[tpsreports2424]

Well what do you guys think of abortion? I think its wrong but who wants a 14 year old kid having a baby?

you didn`t know or are you playing

I was serious..

 

[redhotswami]

FB - I'm feelin pretty good tonight, how about you?

I was serious..

I'm sorry if I seem like I'm joking you or something....but it depends if that 14 year old was raped or had a serious illness in which she had to give up the child.

 

[tpsreports2424]

I think the death penalty is somewhat wrong, but what I am leaning forward to is sentanced to jail for life..

 

[Sad_Girl]

No SG, enlighten me! My quote was from Rurouni Kenshin

this is the verse which it reminded me of

"And with tears of blood he cleansed the hand,
The hand that held the steel:
For only blood can wipe out blood,
And only tears can heal:
And the crimson stain that was of Cain
Became Christ's snow-white seal."

the poem is really powerful; it's about murder, sin, the death penalty, Christ's Crucifiction...

Wilde had a lot of theories on how man always killed the things which he loved the most; a very poetic and humbling theory that resounds in this poem

here's a link to the whole thing: http://www.poetry-online.org/wilde_the_ballad_of_reading_goal.htm

Zach - I'm mad that it is a federal issue. If the friggin death penalty is a state issue, then why is abortion constantly debated at the federal level? I find it hypocritical and it is just another reflection of how this gov't is inconsistent.

 

[flybabe]

Brit!!!

 

[Sad_Girl]

Well what do you guys think of abortion? I think its wrong but who wants a 14 year old kid having a baby?

The Baby does, for one


life is life is life ... there are plenty of other choices for that 14 year old to make that don't destroy life

 

[U2isthebest]

Hey FB! How are you?

 

[tpsreports2424]

Wow that changed my mind in a lot of perspectives sg..

 

[redhotswami]

SG, thank you SO MUCH! It is a long one...so I'm reading as we speak. It'll take me awhile

Hey there Brit!!! how ya doin???

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

really, dont be sorry!


its just me

Yea...I get the feeling that you are a pro-lifer

Mia - I have no idea...I think abortion is talked about more than the death penalty cause the unborn baby is more innocent than some idiot who is going to get the gas/leathal injection/firing squad/hanging/other type of death penalty just because they killed someone.

 

[dazzledbylight]

Dazzy!! where have you been Girl:

hi fb

because i don't hyave internet at home .can't afford it unless i gave up too much in art/craft supplies/the occAsional take out or d usually inexpensive to mod $ dinners out and the few movies and CD's/DVD's i get to but on a lpow income...............

iiu can't give too much of that up

so Ihave the4 free places the Library, an orgainzation where i do my computer indepentdent Art Study .theni have to payfor the netcafe,

the Lib and the org.....close either at 6PM0 8o8P:45PM.lots of time people arfen't even ON here until 9PM - 10pm NYC/EST time-wise........ so i have to pay .........and more if I want to really hang out,

right now ui'm on 11 dollars, so i might styicjk around for one more dolar.but i've probably spent my $$ for the whole week on the net
I WAS thinking of coming here on New Year's eve............ and get home for the fireworks over Prospect Park at midnight
but now i think i overspent.

tho it was worth it seeing so many of you & "pimping" for my city for jobob & Mia!

so THAT's why I'm often NOT around

There USED to be a Net cafe going from 7AM till 12:30 - 1AM but it closed at the end of the summer

for several yrs I used to be able to have a 4 Hour pass for 5$ !!!

so I used to sometimes hang out here in Interland in PGP/PLeba & other threads ...........

i mISS that!

there arfe 2 places i ned to check out net cafes one my sis spoted and one i quicjkly saw passing by...............so i have check if they have any good prepaid long housr passed

SO how are you fb?

 

[tpsreports2424]

Yeah I'm very easy going and doesn't really take anything personal

 

[Sad_Girl]

SG, thank you SO MUCH! It is a long one...so I'm reading as we speak. It'll take me awhile

Oh yeah, it is! and I get something new from it every time I read it - I love Oscar Wilde because of that very fact

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Hey Brittany

 

[redhotswami]

Yea...I get the feeling that you are a pro-lifer

No you're right. I think that is the reasoning behind it. I'm just pissed that this president took JP2's term "sanctity of life" and used it for his agenda...solely for abortion. Forgetting that the sanctity of life needs to continue beyond birth.

 

[redhotswami]

thanks dazz, it was great hearing about your experiences in nyc

 

[Drea]

I'm not going to touch the abortion thing beyond saying that whatever side of the debate you may be on, I think we can all agree that people who use it merely as birth control when there are cheaper, easier and better ways of birth control cheapen it. ("Cheapen" may not be the right word, but you guys know what I mean.)

He's the sort of person who just wants to use whatever he can toward his purposes and discard it - It honestly frightens me that he was elected to our highest office, once at least

I still think he cheated his way in the first time
