Most Canadians would agree with that. Depending on where you live in Canada you might head south in the winter to soak up some sun.

As Stephan Colbert accurately pointed out last night, this would be the first time anybody rejected Justin Trudeau's "wood"

Trump takes the senate for a nice bus ride today, and briefs them about.....nothing. But hey I guess he thought it might be a good 100 day photo op.

Now that the advancement of DNA has rescued a number of innocent convicts from death row, it seems incompetent lawyers may be putting them right back on. http://www.npr.org/2017/04/24/525441597/harvard-project-outlines-pattern-of-attorney-failures-in-arkansas-death-row-case

And just to extend the confusion, North and South America is actually a phony designation because the only thing that separates them is the Panama Canal which is artificial.

Well, I never really "looked" at that aspect of the Guillotine, but I felt dizzy for a few moments thinking about it.

No doubt there are some who slip through the cracks, or in Muzzo's case can afford enough lawyership to create a crack, although I am aware that in this case he did plead guilt from the get go. My point though is if you look at our recidivism they are about half of that of the US. There could be various reasons for that but I think a couple are that we have rehab programs built into the system coupled with a revue system of professionals who can judge those who do not respond to those programs and delay their release if need be. Also, judges here are actually able to judge by which I mean they are not bound by mandatory minimums like the US. I recall hearing an interview with a retired US state judge who discussed a case were he had in front of him a high school graduate who got caught with a couple of joints on him. He wasn't trafficking he was just giving MJ a try, and it was his first time in a courtroom. The kid had two scholarships heading into college, one for sports and the other for his academic ability. The judge said I had no choice but to send him to jail for a year, of course wrecking what was looking like a pretty rosy future.He remarked that if not for the MMS he would have fined him a couple hundred bucks and given him a scolding and a warning not to ever show up in his courtroom again. Also he said if that kid wasn't a criminal going in, he sure as hell will likely one when he gets out. But getting back to the point, I will never believe that state sanctioned killing is either moral, or effective.

With Trump's new plan you better start printing even more.

So Trump has just released his tax proposal and a main item is corporate tax rate drops from 35 to 15% which amounts to $4 trillion in lost revenue. Between that and the wall anybody want to guess where the debt is heading? Of course no release on his own tax returns.

I hear ya.

So Mexico wins on tunas as we'll eventually win (again) on 2x4's.

How I rub shoulder with religion.

Naw we figured that out a long time ago. But hey, the price of your wall just went up considerably and we all know Mexico ain't paying for it regardless of what Senior Trump says, so get get your wallet out buddy.This is so funny.

Alrighty I think I finally got there. Not that what I was thinking about starting is all that important, but maybe just a little fun. Thank for the help.

Well I tried that but that menu I get only seems to give me the option of threads.

I guess I'm a dummy but I was thinking of starting a status update and I can't seem to find out how. No big deal it was just a fun thing anyway, but I'll take any guidance I can get. Thanks in advance.

Is this hug a thug bs you constantly flail around have to do with the fact you see how successful our criminal justice system is compared to yours?

Well in full disclosure I recall saying in a discussion with a couple of buddies of mine over a beer on this very subject, I said off the cuff, in certain cases just give me a baseball bat and put me in a room with this guy for a couple of minutes and I will save the taxpayer a ton of money. Get my point? Now, would I actually do that, no. My bottom line is even if you murder a murderer, you're still a murderer. And, speaking of money, look at what it costs the US taxpayer to finally put someone to death by the time they go through the appeals system which of course they can't pay for because they are in jail. Our system is much better, life sentence and if they want to fight they have to pay for their own lawyer, and if they don't reform they can't get out.

Except if you didn't get my point, these drugs actually cause more suffering, not less. Eyewitnesses to the most recent executions in Arkansas as well as many others have spoken about just that. Maybe as much as the likes of BC make a joke about it, a firing squad would be better, if you feel the need to do it in the first place.

Too bad they F*** up so bad when aiming a needle.

Yes indeed, and I recall reading back a while that when DNA was finally perfected to a point were it could prove or disprove guilt or innocence, a fairly large number of prisoners on death row, I think the majority in Florida, were proven to be innocent. I bet you can guess the skin color and economic status of most of them.

I expected that kind of sick comment would be forthcoming. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Yes companies have done so which is why they need to hurry along before they pass the "best before" date with their current inventory.

I don't either. I'm not a doctor but still it seems I have read that people who have chosen assisted suicide go to sleep and die peacefully. If you want to kill a convict why can't they do it the same way?
