I've seen some random and cruel stuff, but...
shmokes:
Oh....so you believe we should stop using the death penalty. And of course, since you disagree with the idea or concept of using the death penalty, seeing as our system is too flawed and all, you wouldn't be so pathetic as to suggest that we stop using it without coming up with an alternative, right? Let's take a look back at your exercise in self-righteousness...

Hmm...nope. No alternatives listed there. A bit on the pathetic side, wouldn't you say?
By the way, what are your views on affirmative action, abortion, welfare, NEA grants, world policing, ID cards for illegal aliens, billions of dollars in aid to nations all over the world? Maybe you support some of those, but I suspect there are some that you don't agree with and believe that the government should simply stop doing. When someone is doing something that is wrong, sometimes the solution is to stop doing it. I tried to illustrate that to you but I guess the bloodletting metaphor was over your head. Or hell, maybe you felt that it would have been "pathetic" for doctors to stop doing it, in spite of learning that it was ineffective and often harmful, until Tylenol was invented.

Angry young men, so very angry....
shmokes:
;D Angry.....c'mon. What appears to be anger in my post is merely a device to bring the irony of Fred's post to his attention. You must understand that I am the opposite of angry when an opponent gives me an opening like that.

That sounds like it borders dangerously close to using exaggeration tactics; and with the end of making points to third parties, no less.

And in the same frame of mind while you do it I see.
I'll let you read my post above when you get time, rather than summarize it.
There's some good food for thought in there, when you get the chance--especially regarding your stance on hate crimes.
There's also my real thoughts on the death penalty, as you seem truly interested in the subject.

Okay....after reading your last post like 10 times I think you mean that Bones is a third party, as in not a party to the argument and I am making points to him instead of Frester, maybe as a subtle form of personal attack by making him out to be a fool...? As far as the frame of mind comment, I simply cannot figure it out.
