Because the vast vast majority of them were guilty? I don't see what's wrong with that.

What the fuck? The vast majority? So that small minority of innocents who were executed don't matter? The fuck is wrong with you?

At least some of that applause is for Cameron Todd Willingham.

Yeah, I have no idea what he was trying to say.

He was meaning that Galilleo was misunderstood by most scientists during his time, like the anti-climate change scientists are currently "misunderstood".

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
These are they people they are trying to appeal to and it's why the crazies are even on TV. It's also why the poll numbers are gonna be totally unlike what some sane people think they should be. The crazies exist, and they aren't gonna change. You just have to hope enough even slightly sane people exist in America.

Seriously. It's disgusting. These people are supposedly Christian I'd venture to guess. CLAPPING AT KILLING A PERSON!!!
Reminded me of Romans cheering executions and deaths of inmates in coloseum.

I can't make it through any more of this. Sorry GAF I just can't. Time to play Child of Eden instead since my GF doesn't need my help with anything right now. I wanted to try and last the whole debate, but I'm just not gonna make it.

I might vote in the Republican primary if Huntsman is still running when the race reaches Ohio.


Not a chance. You'll be lucky if there are even TWO candidates by the time Ohio gets a crack.

Winner takes all system sucks.

Yep. Making me absolutely sick. Pathetic. I hate to get all biblical on this mug but in the Tanakh (OT) when the Israelites started acting nuts, not taking care of widows and the poor God sent them to Babylon. You'd think that these assholes on stage and those applauding would realize that according to their own Bible supporting such horrid acts and lack of empathy for others would be our downfall.

Yeah, guess what life sucks sometimes, it doesn't invalidate the entire system.

What the fuck? OF COURSE it invalidates the system. "Life sucks"? Bon voyage if you're falsely charged for murder and executed. Don't worry--I'll be there to say, "Sorry dude, life sucks."

Have you ever looked at the people Texas executes beyond the Frontline Doc?

Frank Basil McFarland last statement said:
I owe no apologies for a crime I did not commit. Those who lied and fabricated evidence against me will have to answer for what they have done. I know in my heart what I did and I call upon the spirit of my ancestors and all of my people and I swear to them and now I am coming home.

And at the chance that he wasn't guilty, what then?

Yeah, I'm talking about the issue of whether a small minority were possibly innocent, not if they got a fair trial.

Any policy where an innocent person could possibly be executed is the wrong one. I believe in the death penalty if the person is 100% guilty but I can't support the death penalty because there's no way, as of now, that we can ever be 100% sure.

I really need to see how I can move some of my 401K into commodities speculation. Yeah, it may be bad, but if it's around why the hell shouldn't I take advantage of it.

You seem like a great guy.
