The Stella awards!!! you gotta read this.

You raise a number of good points. And anything I've written below is merely my opinion, meaning that I'm not saying your views are wrong, just that I may disagree with them.

I respect that if everyone agreed with me this would be a waste of time.

The difference (at least the way I see it.) between terrorists and serial killers, is that many of the so called "terrorists" believe that what they are doing is right. I'm not saying that this goes for all of them, but it does apply to a good number of them. I may not necessarily agree with their methods but people have to realise that there are always two sides to an argument.

Serial killers on the other hand, know perfectly well that what they are doing is wrong and sometimes even do what they do for the fun/thrill of it. That is unless they don't know, in which case they are mentally ill and I certainly don't agree with killing people who are mentally retarded or unstable or whatever.


I can see where you are comming from there. There have been a number of cases where the people have obviously been guilty and I could see where the death penalty might be appropriate at times. But there's always the other side of me which says "what if by some slim chance, they aren't guilty?" and the fact that deep down, I still see the death penalty as being legalized murder.

A terrorist is just a killer who tries to bend their own beliefs and make it seem like what their doing is right. I really hate it when people try to use bullshit like that to justify their actions and the reason I compare the two is that they both take human life. One just comes up with some bullshit to try and justify it while the other as you said somehow gets a sick pleasure. Overall though killing is killing in these situations and the reason I say "these situations" will be explained further down.

There I definitley have to disagree. I in no way, see how causing them the pain or whatever else they caused their victims makes you any better than them in the end. What you have to realise is that if they feel no remorse or anything whatsoever for their actions, then in the end, they are still going to have the last laugh no matter what. It won't matter to them wether or not you kill them or if they are left to die in the prison system.


Anywho, I'm definitley done for now. Flame away people.

I guess you could say being better than them isnt the issue in my eyes. As Cidien said what if they manage to some how escape? I do think people should think about this though in all of these situations what if someone you knew was the victim? Than there's the other side of the coin...

In regards to the mentally unstable people there still a problem because whether they realize it or not their still killers nothing more. The only thing I can say about those cases is that it's best to keep them off the streets at all costs because theres no long it would take for their mind to snap in two again.

Finally as far as no remorse goes it's true that nothing will change that so making them sit in a cell for years won't do shit so what's the point? They cause nothing but problems and as sick as it will sound once again they basically forefitted their lives(I mean EXTREME cases).

That's all for that subject but I do have another question regarding an issue that is sorta connected. Things such as killing to defend your own life. Where does defense end and murder begin? Ill leave it at that for now since I need to sleep. I look forward to seeing what everyone has to say.
