I assume, then, that you are opposed to all forms of abortion?


I like it when Sarah Silverman said she thought she needed an abortion, then figured it out-she was just thirsty.

Me too. The problem with the death penalty is it lets the person off too easily. Not only do they get off quick but endorphines kick in close to death anyway. Ooh, big punishment. Instead it should be a life imprisonment (ie, until the actual day of death, not 20 years) with an ironclad guarantee of no reduction. No contact with friends or family either; basically a living death. That's way crueler.


I'm ambivalent-I'm anti death penalty, but I will listen to an argument, because I used to be for it. However, one opponent of the dp will claim barbarism, then another claims it's not sever enough-which is it?

I enjoyed the unwitting irony from the mouth of some would be gangbanger: "If he dies, then there's a whole lot of young people like me who are not gonna have a chance to learn from this man."

Schwarzenegger's Name Off Stadium
Governor's hometown removes letters in middle of night

Monday, December 26, 2005; Posted: 9:09 p.m. EST (02:09 GMT)

VIENNA, Austria (AP -- Officials in Arnold Schwarzenegger's hometown of Graz quietly, and under cover of darkness, removed giant metal letters spelling out his name on a soccer stadium.

The California governor had asked for his name to be stricken from the 15,300-seat arena after critics in his birthplace, where opposition to capital punishment runs high, scorned him for refusing to block this month's execution of convicted killer Stanley Tookie Williams.

Late Sunday night or early Monday, authorities in the southern Austrian city unbolted the 20 letters spelling out the action star-turned-politician's name from Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadium. They timed the work to take advantage of the Christmas lull to avoid attracting attention "and keep the media from taking photos," said a local city hall official who declined to be named.

Capital punishment is illegal in Schwarzenegger's native Austria, where many people consider it barbaric. Opposition had run especially high in Graz, whose official slogan is "City of Human Rights."
