If there was an enforced death penalty for a first offense of drunk driving, would people drink and drive? Doubtful.

Russ

If there was an enforced death penalty for someone posting a stupid question would you have posted this question? Doubtful

Sorry, didn't mean to hi-jack the thread
 
Russ just can't seem to get away from thinking he's perfect and the rest of the world are degenerates. Here's a response I posted in the thread that Russ started with his 11th post on the forum...

What is your point in harping on this? Sure there are pro players that have had problems in the past and/or today with drugs, alcohol, etc... Those people are in the minority as far as the pool world is concerned. Get it, the MINORITY? :rolleyes:

I sure am glad you're not my father, brother, or anything close to a relative of mine... you're completely perfect and one of the most unforgiving people I've ever come across. Got kids? What are you going to do if one of them gets caught smoking under the age of 18 or drinking under the age of 21?? Guess you'll have to kick them out and never speak to them again... once a deadbeat, always a deadbeat, right? No room for forgiveness, right? People that break the law are degenerates and can never ever better themselves, right? :rolleyes:

Here's the link to that post... You'll see that there is no reasoning with him. According to him pro pool players, gamblers, drug dealers, etc are all scumbags... but yet he's serving in the military for money because his wife gambled away their IRS check. :rolleyes:
 
Russ Chewning said:
So, just so we have it clear.. Can I get you on record as being against the death penalty for heroin and crack dealers?:D

Russ
For the record, I believe that all law breakers should be punished to the extent of the crime as the law sees fit. For some reason you seem to think that ending someone's life, even a family member, is the answer to rid this country of drug dealers. Should we then hang all those who runs a traffic light or speeds because of the danger they put on another person or family? Why stop there? Let's cut off their left hand so they remember next time to use the blinker when they are making a turn.

There should be an enforced death penalty for wives who gamble away their IRS check.

Classy, people... Real classy. So this is what happens when someone holds "opinions".. They get personally attacked. While an ex drug dealer is glorified for "turning his life around".

See, I can hold "opinions" on this, because I know these policies will never be instituted. So I'm basically blowing off steam.

Oh, and by the way, I gave positive rep to the two people that took potshots at my wife's problem. I figured if you thought it was funny, then you should get some benefit out of "speaking your mind"..

Russ Chewning said:
Did you not catch the part where I talked about drastically changing the appeals process?

Russ


Why not burn the constitution and just round up all the criminals? I'm sorry but if we compromise the appeals process for the death penalty, we will be compromising the very root of the American way of life. We are one of the few nations in the western world that has capital punishment. We must, for the sake of democracy, freedom, justice and every other virtue you can think of, protect the accused. If 100 people do not receive the death penalty so that one innocent person may live, sobeit. Unfortunately, I wish the odds were so good.

Personally, I strongly believe we should do away with it altogether (unless you are going to put people who honk late at night in the chair). That is of course, my opinion. If the process were compomised so that death penalty advocates could be made happy, I would immediately and without shame renounce my citizenship and move elsewhere since the constitution and the right to a fair trial no longer holds merit.

What can I say? I am a very judgemental person. If you ever dealt drugs in your life, to me.. you are a scumbag for life. Same with beating a woman. Scumbag for life. There's a whole lot of things that in my book that will label you a scumbag for life.
My sister went through treatment for drugs and alcohol at a young age and she's got 20 yrs sobriety. She spent 15 yrs waiting tables and put herself through college (schooling never came easy for her and she never got the best grades in school). She got her masters and went on to work for a hospice center. A few yrs ago the company she works for moved her to a new location to open up and run one of their facilities.

In your opinion she's a scumbag and should've been put to death. If you really think that I give a rats a$$ if you like me or not or that you're angry because I quoted something YOU posted on a forum... you've got another thing coming.

You can sit here and talk badly about people in the pool world that I call friends and say that people who made mistakes when they were young are scumbags for life even if they've obviously bettered themselves, but I can't quote you saying that you're doing a stint in the service because your wife gambled your money away??? LOL, you're delusional.

I never had a problem with you.

Now, I do.

Russ
Then I guess this makes us even because I too have a problem with you.

I've always been a fan of the death penalty for drug dealers. Some people are going to disagree, but IMO, the only thing lower than a drug dealer is a serial killer.
How about rapists and child molestors? I would pretty much consider them the lowest.......
So.. to answer your question.. YES, I would believe in the death penalty, even for my own kids. I've taught my kids to be responsible. What they do beyond that is completely on them, and they know they are held to the same standard as a total stranger.
Wait a minute.... you would off your OWN child???? I think i was wrong........ :eek:
Get a freakin' clue.

A lot of people have gotten on Russ because of what he said and how it relates to his children.

I don't agree with everything Russ has written on this board; actually I don't agree with much that he has written... However, I will agree with him on this one.

I have tried to raise my kids correctly and have them do things correctly (legally) in life. However, if they choose to commit a crime, then I would not step forward to protect them. Particularly if the crime harmed an innocent victim.

I love my kids, but that does not give them the right to harm innocent people.

Nah, not the death penalty.


It's too easy, life (marriage to anyone who thinks like that) is FAR worse than the death penalty. Let em' suffer....
