for/against the death penalty?

i have to do one for school, and itd be sweet if someone could hook me up

it would be siiick if people would write a paper for school and then post it on here so other bros could use it too, or just post a topic and people could post it here

pretty much like NS spark notes
 
I did one like 4 years ago for my University ethics class. No promises, but when I get home I'll see if its still on my home computer. Don't get your hopes up, but if your lucky it'll still be there. I was for, if that matters
 
actually man i did one like a year back and got a pretty kick ass mark on it, like mid 90s, im at school right now but when i get home il check my laptop and my media pc, it should be on one of them
 
There is a show on showtime I think called Penn and teller bull shit that just did an episode on the death penalty. Pretty good if you can watch that the paper should write itself.
 
if you ask me, the death penalty should still be there, cause if your giving someone a life in prison you might as wel just kill them and get it over with.. if you deny some one thier life, you should be denied of yours... i never had to write a paper ont htat cause my school was gay.. but i would have probibly written the dopest paper on it cause its something the countrey needs to keep.. like they put it there for a reason no one should take it away, plus think of how much our population would go down.. and one thing i think should begiven the death penelty is people that spreadaids.. just htink of how fast the population would go down then... it's bee soo good for the economy
 
i did an in-class essay on that for ethics class.

got a b on it so it wasnt too bad i guess.

first thing you should do is find some essays on the subject by professors, or other scholarly types. believe me this subject has been hammered out pretty good and some of the reasoning in those essays might suprise you.

intro to ethics was probably my favorite class to date.
 
There's some sight like "nodeathpenalty.org" or something like that that has a shitload of facts. I guess it costs more to put someone to death than to put them away for life. Good luck though.
 
I had to do this exact thing this year in school, what grade are you in?

It really is a pain in the ass, we should all just share papers, that'd be genious!
 
that is probably the easiest topic to write a paper on. If you try, I bet you could do it in 10 minutes...tops
 
yeah thats what i was trying to get at, how sweet would it be to skim through this thread with a shit load of papers in it and you could find a paper and be done in like 5 min
 
here is an essay on The Miracle Worker answering how a challenge can provide one with fulfillment and spiritual enrichment:

Many people seek enrichment and spiritual fulfillment by engaging in challenges and activities that they can look back on and take as a personal victory. There are those who would perform daring stunts, such as Evil Knievel, to enhance their personal fulfillment and run through a legacy to be remembered. A daring challenge, not so much like those of Evil Knievel, was undertaken by Annie Sullivan to teach Helen Keller that there is a world with language and commune outside of her. Annie refers to this as “a chicken hatching from its egg” in the sense that Helen has yet to break free of her mental barrier preventing her from understanding the world on her own. But a challenge isn’t a challenge without obstacle. Annie will face many hardships during her enrolment with the Keller’s. She will have to discover a way to teach her while she is blind and deaf; the two most important sense of communication. But not only this, her parents have dealt her astronomic levels of pity for her being, leaving her undisciplined. Annie will have to face discipline, Helen’s condition, and the inevitable pity of her parents in order for her to succeed in her challenge.

Perhaps breaking Helen free of her mental barrier would have been easier if she had been disciplined by her parents into obedience, but this, however, is not the case. Helen is, to simply state, spoiled rotten. If she gets anxious or nervous, her parents won’t hesitate to deal her candy to calm her. When Annie begins her session with Helen, she is immediately opposed to the first thing Annie does negatively to her, which would be Annie trying to take the doll from Helen. The dinner table scene establishes the true disciplinary issues of Helen. She absolutely refuses to obey anything Annie attempts to have her do; such as sit down at the table and eat with cutlery. Instead of engaging to learn, Helen simply puts up a temper tantrum summoned from hell itself over something so small. This leads into the issue of her inexorable nature.

Helen’s lack of discipline has left her scared with a mulish nature, and Annie will have to deal with this in her challenge with Helen. After the dinner scene passes, Helen becomes so detained from Annie that she will run in terrible fear whenever she comes in contact with Annie. Helen now refuses to even let Annie touch her, which has delayed Annie incredibly. Annie decided to lock herself with Helen in a small cabin until Helen had no other choice, but to go by what Annie wants. This, of course, was not an easy challenge. Annie felt a jolt of enlightenment as she finally received the ability to touch Helen once again. This began her teaching all over again; but the two weeks where shortly up. Annie had taught Helen such aspects as folding her napkin, eating with cutlery, and crocheting. Annie desperately needed more time to take Helen further with her teachings, but the pity of her parents denied this.

After the two weeks, at exactly 6 0’clock in the evening, Kate demanded Helen back. This was Annie’s worst fear. Although Annie managed to calm Helen and give her some discipline, the returning of her parents premature of her teaching will have this all collapse into the mess it originated from. At the dinner table this night, Annie’s fear became real. Helen refused to eat with the cutlery given to her and began her whole tantrums over again as she knew she was back with her old family. For all she knew, she was allowed to throw tantrums around her family, as she has not been disciplined against it; only against Annie. James was correct when he said that Helen was “testing” the family to how they will put up with her as her original self once again. This lead to another physical battle between Annie and Helen. Annie brought Helen out to the pump to fill up the pitcher that she had spilled. The pity of Helen’s family once again fought this. Captain Keller insisted Annie leave Helen at the table, but Annie would not have it. And if it wasn’t for the heroic act of James to stand in his father’s way, Annie would not have succeeded in Helen achieving the miracle that was at stake. It finally happened. Helen had finally learned that “things have names” and she was eager to learn everything there was to learn. This enriched and touched Annie in a way she has never experienced. She used be in eternal dept to her brother Jimmie as she felt she had abandoned him in her childhood, but the flashbacks are put to a halt at this point.

Annie has succeeded in teaching a blind/deaf and undisciplined child that things have names, and as Annie’s analogy states: “a chicken hatching from its egg”. This provided her with the fulfillment and spiritual enrichment that she had so desperately sought out throughout the play. She has managed to discipline Helen, and powerfully lecture her family on how their pity for her is Helen’s worst enemy as it will only undo everything Annie has taught her. This is a miracle, and it has been cracked by Annie Sullivan herself, and this victory has propelled her even further to bring Helen to understanding the real world and everything about it.

The Two-Faced Preacher

The novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne provides us with a glance into the Puritan lifestyle in a rural community near Boston. We see how the lives of three people are affected by the sin of adultery, committed between Hester Prynne and Reverend Dimmesdale. Roger Chillingworth gets involved when he attempts to expose the Reverend of his wrong doings. All three of these people are guilty of some crime, but Dimmesdale is by far the greatest sinner. What separates Dimmesdale from Hester and Chillingworth, in terms of sins, is what he fails to do, instead of the sin he actually committed. Dimmesdale emerges as the utmost sinner in The Scarlet Letter because of several important inactions: he lies to himself as well as the community by continuing his role as a minister, he fails to repent his sins, and he leaves Hester with the responsibility of Pearl.

First of all, we see that Dimmesdale continues to accept his position as minister in the community. A minister is someone who can be looked to as an icon, and someone who leads a pure life without sin. Dimmesdale is the complete opposite of an uncorrupted person, and should not be looked to as someone to call upon for advice. He leads a false life as a minister, when really he should be the one talking to a minister about his terrible sins. Holden Caufield would indubitably call Dimmesdale a phony. He continued his role of minister for seven long, painstaking years, and he built up a forged relationship with the community. After his final speech, Dimmesdale’s career as a minister is summed up: “Never on New England soil, has stood the man so honored by his mortal brethren as the preacher!” (page 233) The community respected him so much, yet they were still unaware of the atrocious sin he had committed. His entire career as a minister is a sham, and the entire community is tainted when they find out his terrible sin. They are in such disbelief, that the majority of them have still never accepted the reality of his sin. Dimmesdale is also guilty of lying to himself, believing that he is still capable of heading the community’s religious activities, and continuing his role of minister.

Secondly, we see that Dimmesdale fails to ever repent his terrible sin of adultery. He never does anything to right his wrong, and has to live with the sin for the rest of his life. He has the reminder of the mark on his heart, but we never see what that mark actually means. As the book progress we see one of the characteristics of Romanticism, physical paralleling physiological, becoming more and more evident in Dimmesdale. As days pass, and he doesn’t repent his sin, the withering away of his soul is shown by the withering of his physical condition. During the parade, Pearl can’t even tell it was Dimmesdale, because his physical condition was so bad. Hawthorne expresses the pain Dimmesdale feels by his sin in this excerpt:

“It is inconceivable, the agony, with which this public veneration tortured him! It was his genuine impulse to adore the truth, and to reckon all things shadowlike, and utterly devoid of weight or value, that had not its divine essence as the life within their life”(page 139)

This quote illustrates Dimmesdale understanding of his sin, but his idleness in doing anything to make up for it. The sin remains in his thoughts, instead of his actions. He acknowledges the fact that the community respects him as something he is not, a minister. Even though Dimmesdale’s sin ended up being the cause of his death, he still never made any reparations to Hester or the community for his sin. Although he exposes his sin to the community while on the scaffold with Hester and Pearl, it doesn’t serve any good, because most people don’t even believe he is capable of the sin, and some think that the ‘A’ on his chest is from Chillingworth’s drugs. There is still a cloud of mystery over what happened on that fateful day, but the fact remains that Dimmesdale never truly atones for his sin.

Finally, we see that Dimmesdale leaves Hester with the burden of raising Pearl, which adds to the appalling nature of his sin. It is quite evident in this passage, during the scene at the governor’s house, where the governor wants to take Pearl from Hester, because he fears she is not being taken care of properly. Dimmesdale says this in response to Hester’s outrage, and the second part of the quote is aimed towards the Governor: “My poor woman, the child shall be well cared for!-far better than thou canst do!” (page112). Here Dimmesdale is trying to stick up for Hester by talking the governor out of taking Pearl away from Hester. He says that she will be taken care of better than the governor can, but he never does anything to help Hester with raising Pearl. In this quote he lies to the governor. Furthermore, when Hester and Dimmesdale are talking in the woods, Dimmesdale is quoted as saying, “How my heart dreads this interview, and yearns for it! But, in truth as I already told thee, children are not readily won to be familiar with me. They will not climb my knee, nor prattle in my ear, nor answer to my smile…” (page 196) It is evident that Dimmesdale has never been good with children, but more importantly he has never given Pearl the chance to get to know him. He has left the burden of raising a child all on the shoulders of Hester, even when he said Pearl would be taken good care of to the governor. Hester did a great job of raising Pearl, but without a father figure in her life, Pearl has many unanswered questions about her father, and they are finally answered when Dimmesdale reveals himself on the scaffold. Dimmesdale’s failure to raise Pearl has attributed to why he is the utmost sinner in The Scarlet Letter.

In summation, it is quite evident the Dimmesdale is the greatest sinner in The Scarlet Letter. Dimmesdale is the greatest sinner because he lies to himself as well as the community by failing to resign his role as minister, he never repents his sins, and finally, he doesn’t take responsibility for Pearl. These neglectful acts on the part of Dimmesdale clearly make him the greatest sinner. By watching Dimmesdale throughout the book we can learn to admit and repent our sins before they start eating away at us. This fact still remains true today, and will remain true until our human conscience has been omitted from our daily lives.
 
here are the notes for the essay i am writing right now... enjoy...

Law notes

Capital Punishment

Brian Dickson

• British law in Canada until 1859

• Under British law 230 offences were punishable by death

• The offences included stealing turnips and wearing a disguise in the woods

• By 1869 capital punishment only existed for murder, rape, and treason

• In 1954 rape was removed from that list

• In 1961 murder was reclassified into capital and non-capital crimes

• The first attempt to abolish the death penalty came about in 1914

• That first attempt was in the form of a private member’s bill by a Member of Parliament Robert Bickerdike

• The first attempt was unsuccessful

• Similar private members bill’s were introduced in every single parliamentary session between 1954 and 1963

• The first significant debate occurred in the House of Commons in 1966

• In 1967 a vote on bill C-168 was passed 105-70

• Bill C-168 meant that a five year moratorium was imposed (meaning that for the death penalty to be used the criminal had to wait 5 years to receive this punishment) the only exception was if an on duty police officer or prison guard was the victim

• That bill was put into question in 1973 but stayed with a 13 vote majority

• In a free vote on July 14th, 1976 Bill C-84 passed by 6 votes. This was the end of capital punishment

• The last execution in Canada happened two minutes after midnight on December 11th, 1962.

• The last two people executed were Arthur Lucas and Robert Turpin; they were hanged back to back in the Don Jail in Toronto.

• In 1987 a motion to re-introduce the death penalty was put forward in the House of Commons.

• 73% of Canadians were in favour of it when it was introduced in February 1987. Only 61% of Canadians were in favour of the motion by June 30th 1987.

• The motion in 1987 was defeated 148-127

• In 2001 capital punishment was found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada, likely ruling out any further motions for its re-instatement.

• The Canadian court determined later that it would not extradite accuse people to places where they could be punished using capital punishment except in “exceptional cases”

Capital Punishment Arguments for Life and Death

• In 1987 65-75% of Canadians supported capital punishment (Reid 1987)

• General Deterrence- Not to commit murder for the fear of being executed

• Specific Deterrence- A murderer executed will not kill again

• In a USA today poll 68% of respondents believe that the death penalty deters crime (USA snapshots 1984)

• Brutalization Hypothesis – Suggests that through the legitimization of killing (government execution) it models and legitimizes killing, thereby increasing homicides

• Murder has the lowest recidivism rate among all offences (radelet and badeau 1988)

• People who have served time in prison (not murder) are more likely to commit murder upon their release than convicted killers (radelet and badeau 1988)

• In the USA between 1900 and 1986 350 cases in which defendants were convicted of capital crimes were proved innocent… 24 were never proved innocent until after their execution

• White (1987) performed a study in which he looked for the most frequently used argument the prosecution used to promote the death penalty. These include, Executions are necessary for deterrence, a sentence of death is legally appropriate, the nature of the crime was extremely abhorrent, the defendant deserves to be executed, the defendant lacks worth (or that the victim’s life was more valuable than the defendant’s)

• The defense’s argument for the above study include; execution is based on the desire for vengeance and is therefore morally wrong, the execution itself is equivalent to murder, the penalty of death is too severe, and that executing the defendant will not bring back the victim or end the suffering of the survivors of the victims.

• Ellsworth and Ross 1983 found that a person’s stance on capital punishment was mostly based on moral reasoning, and their own desire for vengeance on the criminal.

• Canadian study (Vidimar 1974) found that the desire for retribution is a very important factor in society’s support for the death penalty. He also reported that there is a positive relationship between support for the death penalty and those favouring retribution for crimes overall.

• Vidimar measured retribution using a five question test “Index of General Retributive Motive.”

Facts about Deterrence and the Death Penalty

• A National (USA) Crime Victimization survey, the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that the victims of murder were 49% white and 49% black (2001, 2002)

• The same study as above found that 81% of the people on death row had murdered white people.

• In May 2004 a Gallup Poll found that a growing number of Americans support a sentence of life without parole rather than the death penalty. Gallup found that 46% of Americans favour life in prison without parole over the death penalty

• The above is a large shift in public opinion as in 1991 Gallup found that 51% of Americans believed in the death penalty whilst only 41% did not believe in it.

• From the same survey as above 55% of those polled felt that the death penalty (in 1991) was implemented fairly down from 60% in 2003

• Only 62% of people polled said that it was not a deterrent to serious crimes, (May 2003)

• In an examination of whether or not the death penalty was a deterrent done from 1984 to 1997, (John Sorenson, Robert Wrinkly, Victoria Brewer, James Marquat). The examination focused on Texas as these authors believed that if a deterrence effect did exist it would be most prominent in Texas due to the fact it has the highest number of executions on a per state basis

• The above examination found that no evidence of a deterrent effect existed and concluded that the number of execution's had no effect on murder rates and as well that the number of executions was unrelated to the felony rates.

• William Bailey examined whether or not executions had a deterrence effect in Oklahoma. He examined this between 1989 and 1991 and found that their was no evidence of a deterrent effect.

• Bailey did find that there was a large increase in stranger killings (people killing people they do not have a pre-existing relationship with) after Oklahoma legalized the death penalty again after a 25 year moratorium.

• Once the death penalty was abolished in Canada in 1976 the number of homicides actually decreased to 554 (2001) from 1974 where 721 people were murdered.

• The United States has a murder rate of more than three times many European countries which have banned the death penalty. (1999)(6.36 USA compared to 1.38 Germany)

• Michigan was the first English speaking government in the world to ban the death penalty

• The above image shows that states with the death penalty actually have a higher homicide rate than those states that do not



• The above graph shows the “brutalization effect”- Suggests that through the legitimization of killing (government execution) it models and legitimizes killing, thereby increasing homicides

Fight the Death Penalty in the USA

• Points on why the death penalty is pointless in this articles opinion

- The victims are dead; no execution will bring them back

- How about all the relatives of the person being executed? Why doesn’t anybody care about them? Is it civilized to regard them as outcasts too?

• Police chiefs overall to not believe that the death penalty is the best method in which one can reduce crime (see graph below)

• A poll suggests that 49% of Americans believe that blacks are more likely than whites to receive the death penalty for the exact same crime (according to this website poll source unknown)

Benefits of Capital Punishment

• According to Isaac Ehrlich’s Study, (April 16th 1976) eight murders are deterred for each execution’s that is carried out in the USA.

• He continues to say “if one execution of a guilty capital murderer deters the murder of one innocent life, the execution is justified.”

• Ehrlich feels that execution of convicted offenders expresses the great value that society places on innocent life. (this clearly goes against the Brutalization Hypothesis)

• Isaac also states that based on US death row statistics by race (unavailable in Canada due to the laws that prohibit racial information being used in crime statistics) that 16 out of 1000 whites arrested for murder are sentenced to death whilst 12 out of 1000 African Americans are sentenced to death.

• 1.1% of black inmates on death row were actually executed while 1.7% of white inmates met the same fate

• Another anti-death penalty comments “if the victim is white, it is more likely that the offender will get the death penalty than if the victim had been black” Isaac believes that this is true, simply due to the number of people who murder. He states that more people kill whites and get the death penalty simply because more whites are killed.

• In a 1986 study done by Professor Stephen K. Layson from the University of North Carolina. He believed that Isaac was underestimating the number of murders deterred per execution.

• Layson believed that 18 murders were deterred per Execution; he also found that the executions increased the probability of arrest, conviction and other executions of “heinous” offenders.

• The death penalty vote in 1976 lasted for 98 hours (Canadian parliament) it was beaten by a mere 6 votes.

• In 1987 the Progressive Conservative party wanted a free vote on the reinstatement of Capital punishment; Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn blocked this motion by pressuring MP’s to vote against the bill. It is highly likely that without his action the death penalty would likely be in effect to this day. It is just his actions that decided the fate of this issue for an entire nation that largely supported it.

• This article feels that basically capital punishment is such a volatile sensitive issue with both sides so deeply rooted in their own personal views that they are willing to do close to anything in order to sway all of the people that they can to their own side and belief.

Capital Punishment MSN Encarta

• The movement to begin to abolish the death penalty started in the era called “the age of enlightenment”

• Followers of abolishing the death penalty include David Hume, Adam Smith, Thomas Paine, Voltaire, and Denis Dierot

• Critics of capital punishment contend that the act of capital punishment is brutal and degrading

• Supporters consider it a necessary form of retribution for terrible and heinous crimes

• Opponents of the death penalty see it as a human rights issue involving the proper limits of governmental power

• Those who support the death penalty feel that the government has a right to execute if it is in the best interests of the nation or state in which the murder occurred.

• Some felt the older methods of enacting capital punishment were brutal (such as hanging) and wanted the whole thing to me eliminated. Instead in 1977 Oklahoma became the first state to authorize lethal injection and this is now the preferred method of most states of executing a heinous criminal in a legal, calm setting.

• Opponents of capital punishment say that it is degrading to the humanity of the person being punished.

• Supporters of capital punishment say they see nothing wrong with government killing horrible people who have committed horrid crimes against innocent individuals.

• The supporters see no need to limit governmental power in this area.

• Beccaria who wrote an Essay on Crimes and Punishments felt that it is the certainty of punishment, instead of the severity of the punishment that works as an effective deterrent

• Supporters argued that it is the ultimate penalty and it is necessary for the punishment of horrible crimes because it proves the most possible in the respects to retribution and condemnation. As well they argued that the threat of death is a deterrent in and of its self.

• Pennsylvania is the first state that divided murder into two categories

• Pennsylvania made it so that first degree murder was punishable by death while second degree murder was not punishable by capital punishment, and was punishable by imprisonment only

• Post World War II many countries felt that abolishing the death penalty was a way to disassociate them-selves from the atrocity of the holocaust, this was the reason Italy, Germany, and Britain abolished it.

• A similar mass abolishing happened at the breakup of the Soviet Union. East Germany, Czech Republic and Romania all abolished capital punishment between 1987 and 1990.

Arguments against the Death Penalty are flawed

Thomas R. Eddlem

• The majority of those executed since 1976 have been white, even though black criminals still commit a slim majority of the murders.

• According to the US bureau of Justice Statistics blacks committed 51.5% of the murders between 1976 to 1999 while whites committed 46.5% of the murders

• Whites were the majority of those on death row in the year 2000 1990 whites, 1535 blacks and 86 miscellaneous.

• In the year 2000 49 of the 85 people put to death were actually white

• This article argues that the cost to put somebody to death (a 1993 study in California says that it costs at least $1.25 million more to put somebody to death that a sentence of life without parole) the article argues that justice is not up for sale to the lowest bidder.

• The article argues that since DNA evidence is sufficient to prove innocence of an individual, it is also sufficient evidence to use the death penalty on someone.

• The article also states that since the reinstitution of the death penalty in 1976 not a single person executed has later been proven innocent as a result of DNA evidence.

• The article also states that the cruel and unusual punishment argument does not hold up as the founding fathers who adopted the bill of rights had no problem using the death penalty, and therefore did not believe it to be cruel and unusual.

• The article has a counter argument to the argument that diffuses the brutalization hypothesis, the article states that if executions legitimize killing in the mind of all citizens, doesn’t life without parole teach citizens that it is acceptable to hold somebody against their will?

The risk of executing the innocent makes the death penalty unfair

• Gerald Kogan, an ex chief justice in Florida states “If one innocent person is executed along the way, then we can no longer justify capital punishment.”

• The article states that for every 7 executions since 1976 1 individual on death row has been found innocence.

• In 1997 3517 individuals were on death row in the 38 states where the death penalty is used as punishment.

Capital Punishment is a Just consequence for Those Who Choose Evil

• The article has a number of strong quotes supporting the concept of retribution: “I think that human beings are free moral agents. They can make choices and they ought to be held responsible for the moral choices they make.”

• “If man is not responsible such that he is not deserving of capital punishment, then how is he deserving of any punishment whatsoever.”

Women are Often unfairly spared the death penalty

• (case study) in 1997 Guinevere Garcia murdered her daughter and received a 10 year sentence for this act

• Four months after her release she killed her husband during a robbery attempt.

• The court imposed the death penalty.

• Garcia refused to appeal her sentence.

• Death penalty opponents turned the Gov. Jim Edgar, and convinced him to overturn the punishment and change it to life without parole.

• Gov. Jim Edgar made this decision hours before the execution; this was his first time overturning a death penalty in his more than 5 year in office.

• Up to 1984 since the death penalty was re-instated 5569 death penalties have been given, 112 women have actually been executed compared to 301 men (velma barfield in 1984)

• In the colonial era 20 000 people were executed only 400 of those were women, 27 of these women were executed for witchcraft.

• Women comprise13 percent of the murder arrests and account for only 2 percent of the actually sentences.

The Execution of Juveniles in the United States violates International Human Rights Law

• About one in 50 people on death row committed the crimes that they face the death penalty for when they were under the age of eighteen.

• The US supreme court Justice Frankfurter stated “children have a very special place in life which law should reflect”

CJ Graham-Nutter
 
better hope your teacher doesn't use turnitin.com my college professors do that all the time, it sucks
 
I did a report against it a couple years ago, I still remember some of the stuff from it. You can't really put me in a works cited though, so I am of no use whatsoever.
 
As i just visited the site, i figured it's a site where teachers enter the essays and it searches through whatever to find if it's original material or not.
 
yeah i went there too....damn thats pretty fucking smart, i doubt a lotta schools do that though except for CU i guess, and youd have to be an idiot to copy a paper off line anyway
 
Well bad news man, no essay on Capital punishment but if you need an essay on Parkinsons or The Evolution of Sharks I'm your man
 
yeah they ruined it for everyone...its more popular with colleges...thats where i was first introduced to it
 
go to www.cheathouse.com you cna download a paper on pretty much anything, with auto biography.. just paraphrase everything ecept cited quotes you can pretty much use those. it is pretty good i used it for a bunch of pape3rs in college.
 
I just think the sick bastards that rape women/children/men, shoot their own sons, and who are murderers, ought to be dropped down mine shafts and that's that. But basically, if you take away everything someone else has (all we really have is life - short time alive, LONG time dead), you don't deserve to have everything.
 
Now how long is this mine shaft? never ending? that is the ultimate thing. Holy SHIT, imagine this ish now here, I had an paphihany.

Here goes;

So you guys (americans) build a giant hole in Shitville USA, where there is a death-penalty. Next you round up all those worthy of the death penalty. Now try and drill a hole through the Earth. Now now now, I know what your thinking... Right through the centre of the earth? NO. Through the earth, but cut it at a plane equal to 90 degrees but over like 18 or so units to the right. Those of you have ever studied conics may know about this. But picture the Earth in 2D, now think of the 2D earth as a Conic section (obviously a circle) now cut it at 90 degrees and, assuming this particular conic is based at the origin. Now, we would have a conic equation in standard form looking something like this:

Earth,s Conic Equation (Km)

(x)^2 + (y)^2 = 6378.15^2 Km

Now that was the equation of the earth. Now imagine a line cutting through the earth about let's say 4000Km from the Earths core (roughly 2600 km from the earths surface.

So we can say the line is x=4000, so when put into the equation it would be x-4000=0.

But, so back to the death penatly solution. This hypothetical "hole" we could build, will go all the way through the mantle (not the core, just going kind of around it) and come out the other side, so these bad guys can be tossed in from either end. Techmology tells us that the gravitational forces the earth has is pulling us down constantly, so a hole in the earth will pull things down through the hole. Right, well half right I'm afraid. Once the death penaly patron is pulled down by gravity to the halfway point of the hole, the gravity the earth has will begin to work in the opposite direction, wont it? maybe, but thats where science comes in.

But just picture that, a man up for rape charges and murder and shit, just living in a perpectual gravitational circus for the rest of his going to be short life. But I betchya that even before he makes it halfway through the hole the pressure will surely tear him apart. But that is once again up for science to decide.
