[QUOTE]Originally posted by EdipisReks: [QB] [QUOTE]Sol System: Maybe I'm missing something here... [/QUOTE]what's not to understand? for those who are mentally ill, it generally goes like this: if you are crazy, but sane enough that you understand what you did and can tell between right and wrong, you can stand trial and get whatever punishment deemed correct by the court if you are convicted. if you are so crazy you don't know what the fuck you did and you don't understand right and wrong then you go to a mental institution. i think that if you are retarded but are smart enough to understand what you did, and you understand right and wrong, then you should be elligible for the death penalty if there is a death penalty in your state. if you are so retarded that you don't understand what you did, and you don't know right from wrong, then you shouldn't be elligible for the death penalty. got it straight, now? mental retardation has degrees just as mental illness has degrees. a blanket statement that ALL people who are mentally retarded, [i]regardless of the degree of that mental retardation[/i], should be spared makes no more sense than saying that ALL people who are mentally ill, [i]to any degree[/i], should not be responsible for their crime. [QUOTE]The BWC: Except for that, I agreee with EdipisReks. [/QUOTE][b]NOOOOOOOOOO![/b]i must change my opinion, and fast! [QUOTE]Ritten: Yes, the space there, on the left side of the right... It then all equals out in the beginning.... retardation and a mental illness are different... like losing ones mind, which is a terrible thing to have..... as opposed to not having had said mind from the beginning.... and not being able to learn that you did not have said mind at any point in time.... [/QUOTE]dude, i don't think you are going to have to worry about being executed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
