Now what in the hell does European Union get off at telling Texas what they should do?!

[warpig13]

Only 400?

Why the hell is Texas so slow?
Maybe we can get China to tell the Gov. to speed it up.

You know I saw that article as well a bit ago.... I felt pretty much the same way you do from the looks of it....

My thoughts are.... When the EU get's their collective head outta their collective arse and gets all their ducks in a row and their side of the globe into a state of Utopia.... THEN and ONLY THEN.... should they even START THINKING ABOUT TELLIN US HOW TO DO THINGS!!!!

*Rant Off*

Gov. Perry ought to speed this one up and have a couple of more lined up to spite the EU.

personally I don't think I should have to pay the upkeep for " life in prison "

There is a debate whether it costs more to keep them locked up or to kill them by lethal injection.

I think we chould take a tea leaf out of China's book and send the families of the excuted a bill....for the 1 bullet it takes to kill them.

It typically is more expensive to execute someone. The trial, appeals, actual execution, etc cost a ton of money. Building and maintaining the facility costs a bit more. Then their are the costs of the battles to keep executions legal, and the research that goes into it. It costs taxpayers well over a million dollars to execute someone.
If someone is forty years old and is going to live to seventy it's cheaper to incarcerate them. If someone is twenty and is going to live to ninety it would be cheaper to execute them. I'd bet the average age of people executed close to fifty though.

All Americans are cruel and unjust according to the EU. Thay can my my Texan #$%!

[AirAssault]

The US tells the rest of the world how they should live,act, run their country. We even invade to "make" them live the way we want to, so why not the EU?

Or should we have the exclusive right on how to tell/make others live?

We are a joke, we tell other countries to have fair elections, and when the people of that country do, and vote in someone WE don't want to be in charge, we don't accept it. Such hypocrits.

Oh and before you say it, I am PRO death penalty.

yes.


the EU is cruel and inhumane

We ain't talking about the EU telling the US. Their trying to tell Texas. The US isn't going to listen to them, what makes you think those rednecks in Austin are going to listen?

As for everything else you said...well we have the guns, the military, the money. Hell yes we'll enforce our will. We'll on top and the crap rolls down hill. Its time go in there get all the oil and scorch the rest. So I say its about time we started carpet bombing problem areas and make a statement. Impose our will dammit!

Man I sure hope you are joking. So what happens when a country decides WE need to change the way we run OUR country. Or several countries? By what you said they would have every right to do so, because might makes right. So according to your theory, Germany did nothing wrong with the Jews in WW2, they where stronger so screw the jews. Sadam did nothing wrong either, he had the power to kill his own people so screw them. WoW, I really do hope you're joking.

Well lets take it further, my gun is bigger than yours so I should be able to walk on in, take your house, car, dog, kids and wife. After all my gun is bigger.

whats our national debt? 3 trillion now?

[warpig13]

The EU telling the US is one thing.

But they are telling Texas.
And we will never listen.

The rest of the US can worry about gay marriage, we just want to kill people.
Nuff said.

don't matter we'll just keep piling it on.
edit--I really don't think the boys on capital hill care.
