Awesome!!!

If you don't know Picasa, take a look at the address below:

The term is, indeed, now considered offensive.

It was used on purpose.

To say it is not natural for a black person to be with a white person is also offensive, hence the use of the term.

The same goes to Asian. As we call someone Asian we are talking about a large array of nationalities. Most of my Japanese and Chinese friends (in Brazil) don't relate to such description.

It is kind of a tricky question I guess... at some extent because it is a statement at the same time, as you can see.

I mean Black.

Sim, sem dúvida, do contrário não conseguiria ler as perguntas deste website. =)

It was nice to discuss this matter with you.

Thank you for your patience on explaining you motives.

Hi,

We could have torture followed by death also... but we are civilized, right?...

Well. The fact that I am concerned about death penalty does not imply I am not concerned about the person murdered or its family. But we are talking about the death penalty. And the death penalty goes to the murderer.

About your question: The state should pay for that if the the state believes that a correctional system works. If people don't believe in a correctional system is coherent that they tend to be in favor of the death penalty.

You said you don't believe in correctional systems so I think you are coherent.

I think that even if the correctional system we use does not work effectively, we should develop one that does.

I am not comfortable with the ideal of killing someone because they have killed. After killing him I did the same thing I said was wrong.

If I believe that is right to kill someone after they killed someone else I would be saying that if someone kills my father and I kill him I am not a criminal.

That was not rhetorical. It was just my way of thinking. I respect yours. Please believe it.

I don't believe retribution fix anything.

I don't think concentration camps works... not even final solutions.

I guess a solution comes after reasoning... not after vengeance.

It remains to be my opinion. =)

Do you think torture followed by death is worse than just a regular death penalty?

Would you say it was a better way to achieve a retribution?

You mean to say that if there is no reasonable dought at the time you condemn an aledged criminal, if later on we learn he wasn`t really guilty, the System wasn`t wrong although the System killed an inocent man?

I am not criticizing. I am asking a legitimate question after stating that death penalty would stop (it would!) the shoplifter.

For some people the death penalty itself is a extreme measure.

As you don't believe in the Correctional System - you said "I believe a few are rehabilitated" - it must be very frustrating not to see the death penalty enforced for all the cases you believe it should.

If you are right and just a few are rehabilitated, would you consider an alternative to the death penalty?

How do you feel about locking them up on, let's say, an island? (I am not joking, I am trying to understand what you feel is right and what is extreme).

Respectfully,
