(WB- I didn't hijack anything. I find the two to be very closely linked-and is part of MY view. TYVM)

Lizziebith-I'm not even going to have the discussion with you. I didn't judge a damn thing about you or anyone else, I just made my comments, you don't like them? Really that's just too bad. I don't like ALOT of things people here say and believe, I have to deal and just add what I have to say.... and I had no freaking clue it was a stupid song- TYVM to you too.

I find this notion that somehow at the magical age of 18 we are all of a sudden accountable or able to deal with the notion of being put to death for committing a brutal crime, to be completely ridiculous. The day before we turn 18, are we really any less aware and accountable? Of course not- I think it's an artificial line and an empty feel good notion that accounts to something illogical and useless. These minors were not found incompetent, they were found guilty, and sentenced according to their crime and the law. To now pretend that due to their age it's just not right is, IMO, a disingenuous notion. Now we get to support these savages for the rest of their lives- hell, by the time we get to the actual death penalty phase- how many of them are even still minors????

and since I don't give a damn that people don't like my relation between the two (I thought we were here to post our feelings and opinions on the subject- no one gets to tell me what a valid opinion is for me)- I find it especially ludicrous to whine about putting savage killers to death just because they were minors- yet we fight for the right to kill the unborn. Don't tell me the two have nothing to do with each other- this court decision....they say so many people say it's wrong to put a minor to death for commiting murder-if we are going to start making laws and decisions based on what is called a popular opinion- any of you choicers want to put that on the public polling block and see how it comes out? It simply makes no sense to me at all-

Why the hell do I even get into these stupid things- apparently I like tilting at windmills.

Bottom line MBC- there is no uber-magical date or age that makes us a lost cause, but being 17 should not make you exempt from being punished to the extent of the law when you have deliberately committed a crime that has a death penalty sentence as a possibility.

And I'm sorry you are disappointed- to me the two are very closely connected and so I used that in my posts- it was not an attempt to change the subject. It is MY opinion, and everyone who chooses to say they are not connected in their minds is free to do so- I can't- and I fail to see why I should then simply shut up and say nothing just because I have that view......I thought we wanted all sorts of views here, including my minority view and I am just as disappointed that people think it is ok to stifle MY view because they do not hold with it-
