Would you flip the switch on for this one?

Provided she's been found guilty, i don't think i'd have any problems...

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- A woman suspected of killing her month-old daughter by putting her in a microwave oven was indicted on a charge of aggravated murder Thursday, and the prosecutor said he would seek the death penalty.

Nope I would not. But then again, I'm against DP .

These kinds of things happens all the time though, moms killing their babies.

Granted. I won't pretend that the method has nothing to do with my feelings on this.

No words of my own. Don't want to get into a death penalty debate.

[Pekka]

It's simple, you are either for it or against it. If you are against it, there can be no exceptions. I do, have my own exception though so I'm kind of contradicting myself, yet I think I'm aligned with the anti-DP line. That is, I consider DP to be an extraordinary method for ordinary times and as such should be banned.

However, if times are extraordinary... it changes, but the only extraordinary times would be a state of war and in more so, total war. That is, you could be sentenced to death afterwards too, if you are a war criminal of unique magnitude.

Same here, concerning DP.

About that, moms killing their babies... Yes, this happens.
There's a medical condition, some kind of depression I think, that causes this behavior, just after the birth. But I'm just a curious, not a professional of medic areas.

I'm agreeing with you, Pekka. I am pretty much unilaterally against the death penalty. I just wanted to get that out of the way in the beginning because I don't have the energy for a DP debate. I'm sure Sloww will show up soon enough and then the fun will begin.

Not familiar with the expression.

Why wait for sloww? I can be harsh too.

I say put her into a microwave for the same amount of time she put her kid in.

WTF is "aggravated murder?"

I am not in favour of the death penalty for her, or for anybody in the First World under current conditions.

But I am in favour of the death penalty for any serious crime which, say, somebody in Iraq commits.

Kill the b*tch.

[KrazyHorse]

It's not necessary to protect me from her.

Killing her is wrong.

You don't possess rights which you do not respect in others. Assuming she is guilty, she has forfeited her right to live. Killing her is not wrong.
