[QUOTE="MuddVader"] I don't think they murder people if they aren't sure that they did the crime.SeraphimGoddess

There have been at least15 people released from Death Row in the United States because of DNA testing. Now imagine all of the cases where there is no DNA to be tested, or the people who were executed before DNA testing.

People have been wrongfully executed in the past:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_execution

I think that says something about the entire system; not just the process of executions.

Yes, but you can be released from prison if proven innocent; you can't be brought back from the dead.

No, because the Justice System is imperfect.

If the Justice System were perfect, and it was absolutely impossible for an innocent person to ever be falsely convicted of a crime, then I wouldn't have a problem with Capital Punishment.

Until that time, I am against it.

Sony MDR-7506

They might be a bit bulkier than most headphones, but they fold up small, and in my opinion, the sound is just absolutely beautiful.

Some places price them upwards of $120, but you can find them for around $80-90 if you search around.

The earliest I can recall at the moment is 3-years-old, waiting to go to the hospital with my grandparents on the day my brother was born.

Considering the popularity of college sports, I'd say that a great number of sports fans have at least been to college and are of average or better intelligence.

I only have a problem when people block the escalator. If they're standing to the side, I don't care.

She didn't know any better.

Children are always innocent, end of story.

Not always.

Here is another murderer who was a child: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Bell

But she was 10, and the kids in your example were 10 as well.

10 is long way in learning and maturity from 4.

All you people saying that this law needs to change are wrong.

This is an extreme example, which probably shouldn't have resulted in any legal action beside changing the ad, but the Fair Housing Act is an important law.

Nobody is forcing the woman to have a non-Christian roommate.

She just wasn't allowed to "make, print, or publish, or cause to be made, printed, or published any notice, statement, or advertisement, with respect to the sale or rental of a dwelling that indicates any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or an intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination." http://www.justice.gov/crt/housing/title8.php
