If you were sentenced to life in prison for something you did

[DS1]

Poll question: If you were sentenced to life in prison for something you did

and you were given no possibility of parole. Given the choice would you:

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Interesting question.

I went for the needle.

[DS1]

2. Me too

Wanna share the bed? :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

3. The needle is the easy way out.

This is why I think all capital murderers should be forced to have poster-size pictures of their victim(s) in their cells for the rest of their natural life. The first thing they look at after they wake up and before the go to sleep should be their victim.

4. So far I appear to be the only one voting for life behind bars.

:shrug:

[Heidi]

14. I'd take life behind bars, too, progmom.

:shrug:

[Hugin]

15. I did too, progmom.

I can't imagine myself doing anything to warrant such
a punishment. But, where there's life there's hope.

It's possible that I could make *some* contribution to
society if I were still around.

So, I answered based on my personal feelings about
myself. Not on a generality.

17. I voted for bars too.

I'm assuming a basic cell. Cot, pot, 3 squares and a little room to pace a bit. That, and a supply of notebooks and pencils so I can write and I think I could keep myself from going nuts.

Take away the ability to write, or pace, and maybe I've got problems.

5. blame you

:P

[sundog]

6. depends on how much action i was getting in the shower room

[Misunderestimator]

8. LOL! My first thought tooo..... well, not action, but...

imagining just what my new girlfriend would look like. :scared:

[DS1]

10. She'd probably look like me

:hide:

[sundog]

11. haaaaa

:rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

7. Life... with the option that if I can't stand it I can switch my choice.

[Heidi]

9. I'd sit it out. I don't do needles.

But that's not the main reason I'd sit out the sentence. I'd do it because my life would still be worth living.

[ret5hd]

12. Serve...papillon would be my idol. (nt)

[johnnie]

13. I would just tell them that I didn't do it

I would say I am innocent and they would let me go.

[DS1]

16. Cruxifiction? No, they said I could go.

Oh, okay.

Cruxifiction? Yes. Name? Brian.

[johnnie]

21. I love this, but I copied it..it's not from my memory banks.

Brian: I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!
Girl: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.
Brian: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the Messiah!
Followers: He is! He is the Messiah!
Brian: Now, fuck off!

Arthur: How shall we fuck off, O Lord?

[terrya]

18. It would depend on whether I felt guilt or remorse for what I did.

If I did feel guilt about the crime I committed, I would opt for the lethal injection. I wouldn't want to spend a lifetime being racked with guilt and remorse.

[Ready4Change]

19. Good point.

Had I committed genocide through some form of negligence (I can't imagine doing so intentionally) I might choose the needle.

[Misunderestimator]

23. I'd do the opposite... I would rather pay my karma in this life.

No matter what waits for us after death, I do have a hard time accepting that evil could be left unpunished. :shrug:

[kick-ass-bob]

20. Just call me Andy Dufresne

Life, please. And a rock hammer.

:)

[Mr. McD]

22. If I go to prison It would most likley be for political reasons so

I would do the time and hope for a revolution.:)

[SOteric]

24. No needle for me.

It's against my personal convictions. Anyway, I could probably use the time alone with my thoughts. I like my own company. And the schedule would be far less rigorous than the one I have now.

I'd miss the creamed corn, though.

[Trigger Hippie]

25. I'll take the needle.

I'd wanna end that prison hell thing as soon as possible. I'd definitely be someone's bitch. :(

[jus_the_facts]

26. kill me please....jail is worse than death ever thought about bein'....

....I've seen first hand what it's like in a prison and what it does to someone who's had to spend time there...gimmie the injection...quick..fast and in a damn hurry! x(
