There is too much trolling on this page.

I've never been comfortable with the death penalty. I feel like we lower ourselves to the level of the one we are prosecuting. It doesn't help that there are innocent people that have been put to death in the past. I'm going to go the fiscally conservative route, and say that I do not.

I don't think we lowers ourselves by putting someone to death. If so, do we not lower ourselves when administering others punishments? If not, why?

I do agree about the problem that there are innocent people being put to death. To execute someone means we already have them in our power. They can do no more to hurt us; we've won. It's too great a risk to then kill them, I think.

America could still do better. Time to start eliminating the other countries on the list, then there will be no comparison. -Sun_Tzu-

History.

Palantas and others

Lots of people here like history. I wonder if that's because this board is populated by nerds who have an attraction to tales and stories.

Post Script: Palantas is also a nerd. I am not excluding myself there.

Where's Mordor rank on that list?

That doesn't seem to be the real issue. The issue seems to be that these teachers dare express their own views at all.

Maybe so. I still think it's obnoxious for a teacher to confront a student privately and tell them not to support a political cause or party because the teacher personally disagrees with it. It's also obnoxious for an educator to use class time to complain about their salary.

I've been meaning to watch this, as I like anything set in olde tymes that's about violence.

Many Americans aren't happy the way our "governerment" spend so much money on the military.

And there are those who think we aren't spending enough.

They're called the 1%, who own arms manufacturers. I know very few people (e.g., no one) who believes we need to spend more on defense. I think we should compelely restructure the Army, and yes, spend less.

I saw no bullying ther, I only saw the whinings of a pissy teenager upset that someone dare express opinions that he doesn't agree with.

I don't think an educator has any business telling a student that a political cause they are supporting is wrong. That's obnoxious.
