Five Good Reasons To Get Rid Of The Death Penalty

I believe that the death penalty is outdated and has no place in a modern society it should be eliminated.  In fact, I can give you five good reasons.   The first reason is that we primarily execute murderers.  Murder is bad, so we punish murder by murdering the murderer.  Does this make sense?  Not to me. 

The second reason is that the people who are most punished by the death penalty aren’t the convicted.  When someone dies by the death penalty they die, quick and painlessly.  Their mother, wife, kids and friends are all punished by not having the person they care for anymore.  These are most likely hard working people that have never committed a crime before (most people don’t.) 

The third reason is the most important, what if the person was misjudged.  If there is any possibility of innocence, innocence that could be condemned by a system that has had flaws in the past.  For this example one must employ empathy to actually being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Watching the little pistons go down and then you die.  Even once is once too many times.  (This has happened too, look at cases of people executed annulled by DNA evidence when it came out.)

The fourth reason is that in most biblical tests killing is condemned.  If it is true, then we are damning our executioners to hell, or whatever eternal damnation their religion of choice offers the guy who pulls the lever. 

The fifth reason contained in this essay is that, there are deep and long lasting psychological effects on the prison guards assigned to deal with the executions.  Even if they are killing scum or a murderer, it’s still a psychological nightmare for one’s conscience. 

As an alternative, I recommend using the prisoner for testing of drugs for the betterment of humanity (so at least the death serves a purpose), life imprisonment with work so that society may benefit, or finally life imprisonment with lifelong restitution payments for the family.  We live in a modern society, it’s time to act like one.     

Cancer Walks

What better way to help the world then to help fight cancer, presuming that that 17 year old didn't find the cure.  I've compiled a list of cancer walk websites for interested parties to help raise money for cancer research all the while getting some good exercise and doing good for the world.

Thanks for your time and thanks for caring

Stupid humor is good for you.

Yuo Sou, sailed to the shore on his traditional Chinese junk(1) to say a final goodbye at the Geisha he so fondly admired one last time. 

"Yin, please reconsider a ride on my junk(1)," the warlord said grinning. 

The Geisha smiled at the thought and said, "Your junk(1) is certainly big." 

"Indeed it is, a full three hundred feet long and a whole 50 feet wide. My junk(1) is enormous," Sou replied. 

"I'll have to admit, while your junk(1) is big, it has junk(2) all over the bottom of it," Yin replied. 

"My junk(1), mave have junk(2) on the bottom of it and junk(3) sprawled across the top of it, but there is junk(4) to be eaten and junk(5) to be enjoyed within it. You won't get an opportunity like this again," Yuo Sou reasoned. 

"Yet, I think I'll pass," Yin replied. 

"Why?" asked Yuo. 

"Because no matter how big your junk(1) is, your junk(6) is still too small" Yin said, breaking the warlords heart. 

---------------------------------The table of Junk------------------------------ 
Junk (1): A Sea going ship of traditional Chinese design. 
Junk (2): The salt layer that builds on the bottom of a sea going ship. 
Junk (3): Garbage.

The Evil's of Blood Donation (Satire)

The first thing I did was donate blood.  Before you say this was kind, and selfless, think of the horrible aspects of this that came about.  I may have saved up to three lives in this act, therefore, three people who would have otherwise died without the blood.  If they had died they would have gone to heaven and lived in eternal bliss.  Through my act of 'kindness', their potentially miserable lives are to be prolonged and perhaps even amplified.

These survivors will likely have monumental hospital bills to pay, which will undoubtedly add to their suffering.  After they arrive home, they will have hours of throwing out awfully cooked, cookies, cakes and fruit baskets.

In addition to the above, their poor family members will lose out on any possibility of life insurance claims.  That same family may be further financially offset by hospital bills, or tuition that would not have had to be paid should the injured person have ascended to paradise.

Finally, with the family member alive, if they were in an accident, all rights to a lawsuit goes to them, not their family.

As you can see, blood donation is a dastardly deed.
