    well, it is a chamber.. its being filled with gas, what else would you call it???

    your attempt to change the topic is amusing. we are talking about people who deserve it, not the few innocents who fall through the cracks. And while I do want more safeguards for that, and DP should only be used in the most serious crimes where there is real proof vs circumstantial proof.

    give them their appeal, and on appeal, if the appeal falls through, go directly to your fate, not back to your cell. problem solved.

    I believe half the reason for alot of your complaints come from a small group of people who claim to be for it, but then write laws that make it harder and harder to do, which causes this

    Limit it to the most heinous crimes

    Limit it to cases where there is clearcut proof. timothy mcveigh, coming soon the boston bomber as examples.

    You get 1 appeal, and if denyed, you go directly to the punishment instead of back to your cell. If you REALLY didnt do it, take the chance, otherwise sit there and rot until your day

    Every single "problem" with it, can be resolved with common sense approaches.

    What set the nazis apart (and may still do in times since) is the clean, industrial approach to destroying peoples and cultures that they employed. It terrified people not for the brutality, but for the complete divorce from human emotion.

    So... ISIS????

    realize how flawed your justice system is, and how many innocents had their lives taken by it.

    And none of that has to do with the facts that some people do deserve it. timothy mcveigh for one example

    The death penalty is for revenge, not justice

    only because of the insane appeals process. there is no reason someone should be able to appeal 30 times

    no, the answer is nitrus oxide. its painless and you pretty much feel great, and fall asleep, and dont wake up

    the other question is does it really matter? if they committed a crime* big enough to command death, does it really matter how?

    * - take out cases where people were found innocent after the fact. I am generally talking about clear cut cases with witnesses that hold up, maybe even video evidence. - example of people who deserved it, timothy mcveigh and the boston bomber when his time comes

  11. Re:hmmm on Wikipedia Entries On NYPD Violence Get Some Edits From Headquarters · · Score: 1

    you are correct. I was using the term interchangeably, but of course it would not be a legal issue by anymeans, Just a moral and ethical one

  12. Re:hmmm on Wikipedia Entries On NYPD Violence Get Some Edits From Headquarters · · Score: 1

    and as someone who is not a martial arts expert, I wouldnt know the difference between a choke hold and an arm bar (or any other moves) If the move that was done goes by a different name to justify being legal, it should be noted is all im saying. Again, its not something NYPD officers should be doing, especially at work.

  13. hmmm on Wikipedia Entries On NYPD Violence Get Some Edits From Headquarters · · Score: 2, Informative

    some of the stuff is clear cut abuse. on the other hand some of it is semantics. I dont see a problem with changing "choke hold" to "arm bar" is that is what the police call the move that was done. The summary leaves a lot of details out (prime click bait!!!)

    But in the end, the cops should not be making edits to these things on wiki. im pretty sure the EULA states (or did in the past) that one cannot update articles on itself. meaning NYPD should not be making any of these edits

    oh dont get me wrong, I do love apple. It takes a large number of people who i used to fix their things for free to telling them to talk to apple because i dont do it.

    but as a power user, and i think thats who makes up the majority of this site, in no way does taking away functionality = an upgrade

    the ability to just grab files from my local NAS, work with them, move them, that's something sorely missing on the iPad.

    there are a lot of exceptions made for people who make under a specific monetary threshold. I'd like to see the FAA formalize this, so that anyone who makes less than, for example, $1000 a year isn't considered "commercial use"

    its more complecated then that. Long story short, the house passed a bill that had nothing to do with obamacare. Then when the senate got it, they ripped out the original bill, put in a 3000 page amendment which was obamacare and sent it back to the house.

    So its semantics, but no, the bill that is affecting us now did not start in the house except in bill name only
