    Nice to see this thread has done as well as it has! Thanks y'all for responding and defending it.

    And we may need a new thread for our current political situation, involving party beliefes and what-not. But there's probally atleast 3 other ones relating to that.

    I hope I didn't just necro my own post.

    Did we just get into the grounds of Vigilente Groups? And I've never stated that this would be happening in the USA, it could be in Canada for all that it matters.

    Quote from SSJ Alakazam

    Most illegal aliens have outlasted their visas? I don't believe that - do you have any sources to back up your claim?

    Community Free Press, baby! Yes, it may be biased, but what isn't now-a-days?

    Quote from -Wrathchild-
    This is a prime reason why squirrels need to be thrown into your ceiling fan at high speed. Or at least set up a catapult for the pesky buggers outside.

    I concur, always knew that squirrels were evil. << >>
    I personally believe eletric bird feeders would be best, so that they'd be randomly shocked when they tried to steal food from the birdies.

    Isn't Latex a kind of plastic-type covering as well? That they used on Mythbusters and apparently have as a spray can thingy?

    Quote from Tanthalas

    Dictionary definitions aren't the be all and end all.

    May very well be the case, but it helps if we have a basic understanding of words being used. And I find dictionary.com to be fairly accurate. Then again I believe the article(s) stating that wikipedia is a reliable source of information, Go figure =P

    Most illegal aliens have simply outlasted their vistas after they've made a life in the USA. People who have applied for one in 2001 are just not getting their applications reviewed by the administration, so it doesn't surprise me that we have 12 million+ illegal immigrants when the way to become a citizen is so hard and slow.

    Quote from Johnny Spike

    We don't know what's going to happen, but it's best to take the safer route, considering that we only have one earth.

    Unless we go to space!! (Insert dramatic music) I'm honestly helping a bit by using a Hybrid and thus using less gas. It's rather nice, actually, even if I do get shocked exiting it.

    Wow, I would pay a lot of money for Fat Corrupt Businessmen fight Fat Corrupt Businessmen. Grin

    I just think some people have been playing too many Unreal games (although I can't argue that they aren't fun...)

    They are quiet fun indeed! But I also am close to a rape victim and want to kill the rapist in a slow manner. It may just be that I have played too many video games and see the world from a different view point. Tyranny implies that only one person is the ruler, we'd still have good ole congress.

            Questions

            1) What religion are you?

            2) If not religious, then who do you consider to be authority figures on morality?

            3) Is there even the slightest chance that I could expect you to actually defend these statements, which seem simply to be you trolling as per your wont, or shall this be like most of your other posts, where you simply throw out something nonsensical and provocative and then don't bother defending it?

            Why drag religion into this? And other people's past posting habits? And as for my previous post, put yourself in the place of someone who was raped/tortured. You'd probally want want to see some form of revenge against your captor, not knowing that he's going to get a heavy dosage of chemicals/a long term/or even a short term or getting away with it?

            FYI, Father's day is June 17th, that's next Sunday.

            Thank you for clearing that up!! Grin
            I didn't know if it was last Sunday or not. And I'm personally getting my dad a DVD I think. Gunsmoke is the name, I'm pretty sure... It's on TV Land.

            while some would enjoy a night at the local brothel.
            A brothel you say? They still have those?

            Quote from Highroller

            How is it wrong to make their death painless?

            If they're a Murderer: Do you think they made their victim's deaths painless?
            If they're a Rapist: Do you think their victim's won't be scarred by the experience?
            If they're a Pedophiliac: Do you think the kids that said pedo looked at had a good time exposing themselves?

            Why should they get away pain-free when they caused so much pain to various people?

            Wow, that is a great idea. Also, big corperations should be able to buy advertising space on the convicts. Just tatoo Coca-Cola, Nike, and the like on their bodies.

            That'd be pretty great to see, and give the convicts nicknames. It'd be like the jerseys of other sports, only the players wouldn't get any of the money!

            Well then, maybe people in Missouri are the only ones drawn to car wrecks :p
            Maybe I should just start my arguments over, since it does seem that I'm hurting myself more than helping. :/
