We should be shot, not camden. Clearly his crimes were society's fault.

The cultural dirt your malignant little nettle is rooted in is barren.

The death penalty always works, even if you have to throw the switch repeatedly. Strangely though it doesn't seem to stop people from committing crime.

It works better on animals. I found out recently that even Thomas Edison wasn't so very admirable after all. Another icon bites the dust. In an effort to promote direct current, in which basket he had most of his egghead hopes for a super fortune, he decided to attempt discrediting alternating current by electrocuting an elephant.

He did this because the nascent electric utility industry had yet to adopt either DC or AC as a standard. Edison convinced some officials to let him publicly execute a rogue circus elephant -- see appendix to Water for Elephants.

I found the entire thing shocking.

Sounds like you got what was coming to you, you learned a lesson, and moved on in a positive way. Good for you man.

Wow. Talk about flogging a dead joke! Perhaps people will start laughing at your sheer detrermination, is that the idea?

I was serious.

I'm with Sleepyguy on this one. He's sometimes right.

Yes. Sleepyguy's right on this one and you're wrong. In fact I find yours and dryhump's attitude to the OP guy disturbing and disappointing. Sleepyguy and I would probably would disagree about almost everything, but - to me - he often gets important things just right in a kind of ideology-transcending way.

Aw, I'm touched. And here I just voted against you in a popularity poll too. What a cretin I am.

FMF's right here generalissimo. The judgment and consequences for the OP's crime has already been doled out and endured. Your further judgment is not required.

yeah, maybe I was a bit extreme, however we don't know if people got killed during the guy's criminal actions.

I didn't write anything bad about the OP. I merely pointed out that society had obviously failed him and caused his criminal behavior.

I should have added my congratulations to him on his rehabilitation. I have nothing but respect for someone who paid their debt and went on to do something positive with their life.
