Question:

The defense of the Colorado shooter is claiming that the defendant is insane and thus should get a lenient sentence (at least not the death penalty).  My question is what makes insane people better than the rest of us?  Why do they get off with more lenient sentences than others?

My Take:

There is nothing that makes an insane person better.  My opinion is that insane people who commit murder should be executed like anyone else.

This is an open and shut case.  Everyone knows that he's guilty.  This is not a case where a DNA test has been refused and he's on death row because of the testimony of one unreliable witness with a grudge.  This is a case where everyone knows what he has done and everyone knows that he's completely guilty.

It may offend some people when I say this, but...

KILL HIM, ALREADY!

In Defense of...Cecil Rhodes?!

You all know Cecil Rhodes, right?  He was a British Imperialist (living from 1853-1902) who founded the De Beers diamond mining and trading company.  Just this morning, I came upon a post comparing him to Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Cecil Rhodes killed at least 60 million Africans.  It has been shared 99 times.  Here is the post: https://plus.google.com/+TonyJefferson/posts/CZ6HW3AxDo6 Unlike many, I decided to do some research on it.  That is my nature.  I don't accept things without evidence given, and even when no evidence is provided, I search for evidence.  If after looking, no evidence is forthcoming, then I discount the claim unless compelling evidence does surface.  After my research on this topic (taking up about an hour of my day and 28 open tabs on my browser...but still an enjoyable time because this is what I like to do), I found that my initial skepticism was well justified and that this comparison is incorrect.  Adolph H...

Inconvenient History – The Barbary Slave Trade

Once upon a time, slavers ravaged the coastal towns of the European continent. Eventually, the response to that would include clear proof that the United States is not founded on a religion. Soon thereafter, European imperialism would become the driving force for the abolition of slavery around the world. Continue reading to learn more. The Barbary Slave Trade is a relatively small part of the Arab Slave Trade, which itself is only one part of the Islamic Slave Trade (which besides Arab slavers, includes Turks enslaving Europeans and Africans, Muslim invaders of India and Sub-Saharan Africa, Malay enslavers of local minorities, and other Islamic slavers). For example, the Arab Slave Trade may have enslaved up to 18 million people over its span (not including those born enslaved), while the Barbary Slave Trade enslaved some number over 1 million. Bear in mind that this number is three times the number of enslaved people (roughly 388 thousand) sent to the area of the United Sta...

Biden Just Won The Election

Biden just won the election. I just watched the first debate. It was a disaster for Trump. I pretty much saw the entire debate, and I haven't listened to any pundits (who can never be trusted to give an accurate review). Not only was Biden lucid, but Trump would not stop interrupting. I think Trump was trying to "be Trump", instead of trying to be natural. But he must have had a false idea of what "being Trump" is. He must have seen ownage videos of himself on the internet and thought that should be the entire debate. But he forgot that the highlights were well-timed, humorous quips like "Only Rosy O'Donnell" and "Because you'd be in jail". Unfortunately, he made none of those well-timed, humorous quips in this debate. Instead, he would not stop interrupting, and he showed himself in a bad light. Most people who support one candidate or another can never admit if their preferred candidate lost a debate. But if your stomach drops and y...
