Well, there's nothing stopping you from choosing to create one then, is there? It would be a difficult discussion because of the rule against talking about religion. D'oh!  Sorry, I was thinking 'philosophy,' not 'religion.' Of course there would be religious arguments about this subject. |

Re: Colorado Shooting It would appear that we indeed don't have free will to discuss free will, then...

I know I know, I was also a Philosophy major, I just couldn't keep from baiting people on this subject (It's a long-running joke argument in my circle of friends) _________________ You can pick your friends You can pick your nose but you can't fool all the people all the time. |

There's a good chance they would keep him isolated. If they were going to execute him, they will want to have the state do it and not let some random prisoner kill him. Death penalty is, indeed, still active in Colorado. However, capital punishment there is VERY rarely given--there's a total of four cases since 1976 where the jury voted to execute, and even then, three of the sentences have yet to be carried out. Still, judging by the prior cases, this really does seem like a slam-dunk if the prosecutor asks for the death penalty, barring a finding of mental incompetence. I can't speak more on this subject, as it's even more Coz-worthy than the free will debate. _________________ You say "wankery" like it's a bad thing. |
