And honestly, he deserved it.
I'm generally against the death penalty, but if you are 100% guilty of a heinous crime like that, it doesn't bother me on a moral level. Honestly, I wish he got life in prison in solitary. That would be cruel and unusual, though. Which emotionally I'm ok with, but morally I'm not. So morally, the death penalty is the better option.

Which is really sad. Because there was a point there where we could have absolutely crushed it. It's like watching a football team that used to be really good but never closed the deal. And now it just stinks.

Reply to comment by loopsataspool in Often mischaracterized as a rather debaucherous, hedonistic philosophy, Epicureanism actually focuses on the removal of pain and anxiety from our lives, and champions a calm ‘philosophy as therapy’ approach in pursuit of life’s highest pleasure: mental tranquility. by philosophybreak
Epicurus was ahead of the curve in so many ways. The stoics get all the praise, but epicurus really laid the groundwork for a lot of what the stoics proclaimed.

Every Walmart has a budget for "store use" items they can grab off the shelf and use. I'm sure this instance exceeded that budget, but I'm also sure there is an emergency use clause that lets them bypass that limit.

Reply to Saudi Arabia and Qatar urge Taliban to reverse girls’ education ban by -Ima-Phat-Cookie-Ho-
I get the hatred for both Qatar and Saudi Arabia in these comments. But can we at least commend them for speaking up about the issue? Progress is progress. Saudi arabia is one of the most powerful islamic countries out there, and Qatar just hosted a worldwide event (with many, many controversies). If they're speaking, I bet the rest of the islamic world is listening.

I think the civil rights movement was a huge turning point, but if we listened to the socialist messages of those leaders and took them seriously we would be a very different country right now.
