I think we have discussed this before. jsut with different subjects.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - One in five Americans would likely pay to watch a televised execution of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) if he were found guilty and sentenced to death but more than a third said executions should not be televised, a poll released on Monday said.

A national telephone poll of more than 1,000 people aged 18 or older, done for TRIO cable network by Harris Interactive, asked respondents who they would most likely pay to watch executed if executions were shown on pay-per-view television.

Bin Laden, accused of masterminding the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, was named by 21 percent of those polled. Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was named by 11 percent.

Thirty-seven percent of those polled said they did not think executions should be televised.

The poll, conducted from Jan. 24 to Jan. 26, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Why, because I would get joy and fulfillment out of watching the scum of the earth get put where they belong?

how is calling someone sick (moreover, someone who wants to see someone killed) name calling. That would be a description of someones personality, not name calling.

What kind of replies did you think you were going to get in this thread? Someone makes a post to start a discussion and the best you can come back with is "who cares?"

You conceded before you started and didn't even realize it.
 
feel free to keep your sex life in your bedroom. no one here wants to hear/ see it.

as for conceeding, dont bet on it. you called him sick becasue of what he wanted to see. jsut because its soemthing you dont want to see doenst mean he is sick. i think they should televise executions. that would raise hella cash for victims families.

but as for Jim's post...its true, thats mainly what ive been reading inyour posts.... blah blah blah im a frenchman blah blah blah

As much as I don't think I would enjoy watching an execution, I really do think that they should be public. I believe it would go a long way to deterrance of crime to know that reality. I also think it would benefit anyone advocating for a death penalty to watch one...that way, they'd know, really know in with their eyes and ears what they were asking a court for. And they'd make damn sure to be right every time.
