Do you approve capital punishment?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Dec 22, 2019:

I don't agree with it primarily because a government should not be in the business of killing their own people. Logically, after my main point, it is more expensive with mandatory appeals; and a certain percentage of innocent people are put to death or found guilty. Also, our system has for a long time been biased toward minorities and the poor in handing out death sentencing. That said, I'll be the first to admit that there are scum out there who do not deserve to live, and I am perfectly okay with leaving them in solitary confinement and lose what is left of their sanity.

Afterlife thoughts... Do you believe in an afterlife?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Dec 22, 2019:

No, I don't believe. I fully reject the Abrahanic beliefs as just plain B.S. I remain an agnostic, as, yea, I don't, FULLY, know what comes next. If science finds consciousness is more than a bunch of firing neurons, then I might think something comes later, but it sure isn't some fairy tale.

Universal Health Care needs to be sold differently. Selling as something all americans deserve (they do) isn't working on the brainwashed masses and as the rich elite keep it from happening. Sell it as a business or corporate welfare. Just imaging how much money companies that still provide health insurance could save. Think about it.

Afterlife

Beowulfsfriend comments on Dec 17, 2019:

Use logic and your rational mind. How do they know anything? A bunch of unproven stories about people for which no history exists. Stories that have been found in Gilgamesh and they claim exclusively. A book, codified by committees through the 3rd century (and many use the worst translation of said book for their arguments - King James). 7 billion people on earth and only a fraction are to be "saved." Science has continued to prove much of their shit incorrect and what do they do - deny and blame. Why not believe in Zeus? Why did that religion fade? No proof, none, ever. The virgin birth god myth has appeared in a number of religions for centuries prior, including in ancient Egypt. Fear of death is natural and a biological aid for protection. Use those brain synapses and don't allow them to atrophy like so many anti logic, anti science, anti reason types.

But the Cheneys of destruction, just like those from Vietnam, pushed to stay and build a democracy. All for fucking warmongering profiteers.
