(...) Got it. (...) Yes. Okay. (...) How about the thinking that "if I don't go to my room when my parents ask, they will be displeased with me and I want them to love me, not be unhappy with me, so I will do it".

(...) I read via the web too, and to my knowledge, no, there isn't. I just skip anything that is in a thread I don't want to read.

(...) This is a good point, but I'm prevented from taking your advice because I access LUGNET via the web rather than as a newsgroup. As such, I see all the posts in .debate.

(...) And yet you both found it necessary to say that it's pointless and ask that people stop.

It is demonstrable that the cost of putting a prisoner to death (after weighing the costs of appeals et al) greatly exceeds the cost of imprisoning that same prisoner for life; the argument that execution saves money is flawed.
