Come on, you guys entertain me some more! I keep checking this forum & there's nothing new. You guys discuss the death sentence or something. BTW, I believe in it - eye for an eye!

Yeah I was pretty shocked. I'm 30 & I was a big fan of NKOTB back in...umm..like 1989 - 1991 or so. Then they kind of vanished. Well, a couple of them put out albums of their own, some did some acting....I saw them on the Today show last week and I was freaking out! Some of them are almost 40! I will admit I will probably buy their new cd hehehehe

I'm 32 & was a big fan also. That's crazy. I'll have to go google them & see what they sound like.

I'll reply, people might not like what i have to say, but hear goes I believe that they have what they got coming to them I believe that we should do the same thing to them that they did to that person. If they tortured the victim we should do it to them exactly the same way they did. I believe in the death penalty. I don't think people who do murders and massacres should be allowed to stay in prison all their life while my tax dollars goes to feed, clothe, pay their medical and dental and lets not forget their schooling if they want it. Their should be more consequences for what they do besides prison maybe if we automatically did the death penalty people might think about some of the things they do before they do them I have heard and seen from criminals that they don't care if they go to prison it's no big deal. Please don't write me saying well what about people killing for self defense etc. that is a total different issue. I am talking about people who do senseless or tortured murders. And last if anyone was to torture and kill one of my kids I would definitely be put in prison because I would and will kill that person someway, somehow because putting them in prison for life or even the death penalty, would not be justice for me.

I agree people should be put to death as opposed to kept in prison for life.
I don't agree we should torture them....two wrongs don't make a right.
I also don't think we should kill people right away because sometimes their are false convictions.

I thought NKOTB had already received the death sentence back in the early 90's....guess they were found innocent! As for how I feel about the death sentence: I'm a bit on the fence. The Christian part of me says NO because it's not our place to judge or to kill someone for whatever reason. The other part of me says maybe because what if someone hurt or killed a loved one of mine? I might feel like the death sentence is appropriate. I guess for now, the Christian in me says NO to the death sentence. The whole eye for an eye thing is in the Old Testament. True Christians live by the NT.

If you have not yet seen the movie The Life of David Gale, I highly recommend it. It's quite an eye opener.

I did not mean to offend anyone when I said "true Christian". It's just that recently, I was chatting online in a Christian channel and people were saying that they were true Christians but they live by the OT. I TRY to live by the NT "rules". I'm not even all that religious. I mean, I have firm beliefs, but I don't go to church regularly. So I apologize if I offended anyone. Hugs?

okay, I am a true christian. and I belive in the death penelty.
I DO know that there are innocent people in jail. But the majority of them are innocent ONLY of the crime convicted. tHey did something that would have put them there. they just wernt caught for it.
But I whole heartly believe in the Death Penalty.
and I think if it was in the courthouse square, televised or your lights dimmed there would be MUCH less crime
