Too much stupid fighting I think
People getting butthurt over differing opinions. I actually got smited for saying I didn't want Jodi to get the death penalty. But what do I know. I went to bed, woke up and it was locked. Fun ruined![]()
I don't understand why you would a smite for that. Is the person thinking that you are saying she is innocent because you don't want her to get the death penalty? I think people are really passionate and want that girl to burn (I'm all for the DP in this case). People need to understand that there are others who do not agree that a murderer should get the death penalty. That is a separate argument all together.
Yah I don't smite much at all. Only when someone is obviously trolling or completely derailing a thread. Just because someone believes differently doesn't deserve a smite. But when they're being rude, etc thats different.
I don't understand either, there are a few smite happy people on that thread. People don't read the whole of sentences sometimes. I think they saw "I don't want" and "death penalty" and that was all it took. It made me a Jodi lover. As I explained several times in the thread, Jodi said herself she would rather die than go to jail for the rest of her life. So why give her what she wants? I'm all for different opinions, at the end of the day all we can do is speculate. We aren't the jury and nothing anyone wants to repeat 10755748 times is going to change the outcome.
Also I don't think all the googly eyed vagina talk helped![]()
i was going to post that there are some serial smiters in that thread, but supposedly i'm a serial, trigger happy smiter (bs) haha. there are so many people that come in and out of that thread that have different or the same opinion as others or not.
there have been others that have said they do not agree with putting someone to death for a crime (eye for an eye). one said they, if they were part of the jury, could say if she was guilty or not, but hoped they didn't have to have a hand in sentencing her to death. doesn't make them a jodi lover.
So glad I decided to check this thread. I was getting all irritated as to why I couldn't reply to a post in the Jodi thread! So when it gets locked, is it indefinitely?
Per Mike (MDS) it will be re-opened at 10:00 MST
Is it the n00bs fighting mostly? I put people on ignore when they annoy me, I don't really smite. The thread was growing like crazy, I wasn't able to keep up, so I often would just skim through it and miss a lot of the stupid stuff (yay).
I still think we should have gotten a seperate thread for discussing the actual trial, but Mike said no.
That's what I think (so may have been me). I don't believe in the death penalty, I don't believe in an eye for an eye, killing someone for killing someone makes no sense to me. If killing is wrong, it's wrong in all forms, whether government sanctioned or no. Also, there is always the possibility that an innocent person could be put to death. Taking all of that into consideration, I don't believe in the death penalty, period.
BUT.... if I had to decide whether someone is guilty or not, on a jury, and the death panalty could be the punishment, I would not take that into consideration when deciding guilt or innocence. It is not part of the equation.
If I was asked to choose the sentencing though, I would not be able to choose DP.
