Assassin, you do not exist in my alternate universe. How do you know what goes on there? That's your construct! And that would be Trevor Evans, yer numpty!

The death penalty gives rise to some contradictory feelings. I accept that some crimes seem to merit the most severe sanctions. That life in prison is considered as a poor substitute is also a given when when the cost of prison long term is used to counter it's use. That giving the victims families some sense of justice is important. Against this are the idea that a life for a life is not a fair trade. How should it be done? Is any person worth more or less than another. We no longer have capital punishment in the UK but it seems that crime figures show it didn't have an effect. There wasn't an increase in murder as a crime when hanging was abolished. I'm conflicted because it is an area that can open so many lines of debate both for and against. But I'm still inclined to think it should only be used in the most extreme circumstances. That represents a shift in my attitude. Before reading through the debate presented here I was definitely against. Now, I'm not sure. Thank you Death Listers.

OK, That's right, kick the fool. I couldn't find my specs and saw Reginald as Richard! Yep, Stoopid! 'cause neither is his first name. Meanwhile, in another universe, Richard Christy the mass murderer did do it! And he was hanged!

Well at 70+,he is getting into slip, choke on food, sudden illness territory. I am pretty close to it my self now. I'm glad I live in bungalow!

We, any how. Back to shit we hate! BBC iPlayer: All the best stuff you can't watch, combined with.., all the shit you've seen already. And whilst I have some poor sods attention: All those trite, middle class sit com's that BBC1 curned out for years. Not funny, just slightly amusing. At least BBC2 did its bit with the young ones, Black adder Fawlty towers etc...

AWSOME!. Is it bad to admit to still thinking YES are as fantastic as Pink Floyd, but Budgie never quite made the grade.

On I get it now. Sorry my mistake. I thought It was reasonable to expect if some one was wanting to shoot me down, they would have every thing they need, ready to go! Nah, seems I have to provide the ammo! To use a simple analogy: If a burglar breaks in to my home, I don't expect him to gimme a gun to shot him with. And on a lighter note, If you want to do something that's wrong on so many levels, try farting in a crowded elevator.

Seems the pedant police have visited you! Such attention to detail is admirable. Any way, I think that it's OK to provoke an active response from people. Some of you seem to have made the effort to find and disseminate some information. I am chuffed because I learnt a little more on the subject, thanks. If you look back on my first few posts here, you should see I was not pedantic, I was rather general and non-specific! I got the impression from some nit picker that I was obliged to provide a source for my statemnts. OK :-P

Roger Dean, the album cover legend is 71! Surely he will sadly hang up he's brushes for the last time soon! http://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2015/oct/21/roger-dean-somewhere-near-here-prog-rock-album-covers-in-pictures He also has a reputation as an architect and designer.

:-P

OK so I tried to keep it easy for the readers. You know. It's a chat room. http://www.bjs.gov I think you really should put some effort in. It can be very rewarding to learn through ones own actions. You want call the pedantic police on me?

Hello again Sir Creep. You can't be bothered to find the facts for yourself, so I will put a couple of links in so you can try and find something to rant at me for. http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/race-and-death-penalty https://www.aclu.org/race-and-death-penalty And now, use your interweb search thing and find the U.S. beurau of justice. A government organisation that will verify the information. Stop being so lazy!

This is funny and revealing! http://www.buzzfeed.com/chelseamarshall/what-americans-really-think-about-the-rest-of-the-world#.lsr8NBWgD

Scariest thing I've read on 't interweb. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_conspiracy_theory Mid-December should not have flowers blooming and bees buzzing around in the U.K.

Yeeehaw. Yes trees, they are all renewable, pity the environment isn't. You kind of missed the point I think. We aren't going to be able to fix what we have already broken. It is already to late for us to patch up the atmosphere or get the polar sea ice to grow back. Wood realy is renewable in the sense that you can plant a forrest. Fossils fuels need replacing. Peat takes hundreds of years to form. Coal and oil take millions of years! Thinking in geological eras might stretch your brain a bit, but you did get it wrong. Unless you know how to make crude oil or coal, they ARE gone when you burn them. Renew that you arse hole

Yes, the majority of executions are carried through against black and Hispanic prisoners. It seems a Caucasian prisoner is much more likely to have a successfull appeal than any from a minority group. Looking at some stats, being 5th in the list after Iran is surely an indication that something is wrong in the U.S.A.

This topic has taken a while to deliver. The art work above is awsome. The vomit painter, Emins, Hurst etc... That stuff leaves me cold. A very clever group of people, but not that talented.

Are you Americans still in doubt about global warming? We have flowers blooming and butterflies flapping about. The weather is seriously messed up!

Unlike God, Death doesn't take a rest after 6 days. Immortality isn't on the cards for ANY of us. And Sir Creep, go f##k yer sen wi a rusty rake, mebees yer ul catch anal tetnus. Might gi yer a chance to shut up! Being a Lancashire lad, I often resort to my old tongue when I need to hand out a comeback. ;-)

The U.S.A. Has the largest prison population as a percentage of its own population! It NEEDS to cull them on a regular basis. It has around 5℅ of the world's population as a whole, yet it has nearly 25℅ of the total people held in prison. Texas has the highest of the states but then, the southern states tend to have more draconian laws any way. Land of the free. Ah, such Irony. ;-)

He's an action film star and as such could suffer from any of a number fatal accidents! Remember what happened to Brandon Lee.

He's behind you!

(FYI) procurator fiscal And what exactly has he korked, by the way - a bottle of Claret, or his baseball bat?Am I missing some witty double entendre, or did you mean carks, Des?Well im sure medical procedue would be to cork someone before their life support machine is switched off, saves a lot f mess id wager.In way of an appology i am new to the site and am just finding my feet!Never apologise to a guest, Mr O'Gonner - they are all scum, to a (wo)man.

Death is life's only certainty! Life is for enjoying. Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. Nothing original here, but it's all true.
