It''s odd that you would use the term "bleeding heart" to describe a liberal. In reality, it is your heart that is bleeding...

Does killing/revenge reduce your bleeding heart''s pain?

%u201CI vow not to kill. Not killing life, the Buddha seed grows. Transmit the life of Buddha and do not kill.%u201D

From the Buddhist Peace Fellowship website:
Every version of the Buddha%u2019s ethical precepts begins with this principle: not killing. The Buddha, and all the great spiritual teachers %u2014 Jesus, Mohammed, the Hebrew prophets, Gandhi %u2014 tell us that all life is sacred, and that violence only begets violence. The logic of cause and effect, karma and its fruit, is inescapable even when you dress it up in the emperor%u2019s clothes of punitive and retributive justice.

Jesus on the death penalty:
John 8 - NIV
1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

Canada does not have the death penalty, yet they have 1/3 the homicide rate as the USA (even with such excellent trauma care).

Yeah, uh right...

You do support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? Do a search on the Eighth Amendment when you get a chance.

A bullet doesn''t need to find a vein. It is quick, painless and certainly not inhumane. Time to take the expensive, often ineffective hypodermic needle and replace it with a 22 caliber pistol to the back of the head. A 22 caliber bullet costs only 25 cents or less.

I have 2 words for this:

HOG WASH! (slight pun intended)

I really work hard to be politically correct; the rules are constantly changing, I do not wish to offend anyone!

But as hard as I try, I''m throwing caution to the wind....

WHAT THE HECK HAS OUR WORLD COME TO?!!??! This is the most ridiculous thing I''ve EVER heard!!! "I''m too fat to die"???!!!! I''ve now heard it all.

I promise you...I''d find a vein, and I''m sure the families of the victims could find one (or many)as well...(do you mean to tell me that the state couldn''t ''find a vein'' if it were a matter of saving an obese persons life?)

A side note: It is appalling that for 20 years, this fat creep hasn''t gone to bed hungry?!! There are law abiding Americans that go to bed hungry every night, and are forced to pay for this guy''s meals...pathetic.
