can we rethink the VIIIth amendment to the constitution?

whoops!

Heh... I did indeed forget to put a smiley on that last post of mine.



There ya go. That being said, can we still cast some "inflict critical nut-crushage" on him?

This thread discusses such things as abortion, the advisability of the death penalty, the process of amending the US Constitution, crime control, and the war in Afganistan. COULD THIS BE ANY MORE OFF TOPIC? ...

man, this is the little thread that could!

Trap the Soul or similar effect, and obliterate the body such that not even dust remains.

How would you ensure that not even dust remains? Incineration leaves ashes, Disintegrate leaves dust, ingestion by big-nasty-creature-of-death leaves...well... I suppose incineration or disintegration followed by Gust of Wind would do it. Hmm...

Right now, I can't get over how sad I feel about this sort of tragedy.

Just to get you into the frame of mind I'm in right now I'll do some explaining. I live in the Tampa Bay area. I have traveled the length of road where they found that poor child more times than I can count. The idea of someone just snapping and doing something so detestable, is so alien to me that it really physically makes me sick. Deep in the back of my mind and my heart I pray to never become so twisted and angry that I could ever find myself in that situation where I I would consider such an act.

I'm the father of two children, almost. My wife and I have a five year old son, and we are right in the middle of a adoption of an 8 month old girl from Russia. We have taken one trip to Russia to find the girl we want to add to our family, we meet our girl and we fell in love with her. We have signed all the papers to anounce that we want the infant that we fell in love with.

There can be considerable time in between the time in which you annouce your intent to adopt and the time that can go to court and get things finalised, so right now where in a holding pattern waiting to go back and complete our family. It's emotionaly difficult trying to just hand backyour daughter to someone you have difficulty speaking to and just turn your back on and get on a plane for home. But you do it because you know that your doing the right thing and you want to have faith in they system.

Lucky for us it looks like we will be going back sooner than we expected. They told us tha we would wait for a month or two before we could go back, now it looks like we will return before the month is over according to our adoption agency.

But even with this good news there is the wait. And with the wait comes news of individuals who can't seem to take the resposiblity to watch out for those that cannot take care of themselves. Babysitters strike and kill children, Parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts leave children to sufficate in cars, the list can go on and on.

I'm not even going make a statement on the world today, or people, or justice. But I will leave you with this.

Watch out for the people around you, especially the kids around you. And do for them what you wished an adult had done for you.

I'm telling ya. Nothing short of a bottomless pit, in this case for the ashes of the corpse itself, would truly obliterate the damned beyond the powers of even a true ressurrection.

Yeah, but I'm not too worried about True Res. I figure that it is a 9th level spell, and as such is entitled to be that cool. After all, if a 17th+ level cleric wants you back, you're coming back. Raise Dead isn't too much of a concern either, as it can be prevented by beheading, as the corpse won't regrow the head. It's resurrection that's the problem. If they manage to get the convict's finger or toe or some such prior to the destruction of the body, the executed can come back. Cursed Resurrection.

and kicking!

actually, even though some stuff has been brought up there's been no real flames.

someone said earlier about the bad run of luck in utah. let me add that ted bundy did some handiwork in that state as did gary gilmour. there seems to be an awful lot of mayhem in utah for a state with one big city and a bunch of resort cities.

texans

I hope you forgot to put a smiley on that one. Being a Texan isn't an excuse for everything, you know, these being international boards and such.

oh i dont know, being a texan i find that most of my fellow texans blame everything on being texan. dunno why....
