So the irony was one strange person saying to another strange person that they know strange people. And I found that funny and I was just trying to share the humor of it with you.
The second comment was an amplification of that. It meant if we keep things in perspective we're in a group most people would find strange talking about strange people. It implied we should acknowledge that we are a touch quirky, and if we don't, we're in danger of being a little bit nuts.
And isabeau6(R!), Lady, I have found most people in the scene to be rather sweet, and if anything sappy, people--with a few very notable exceptions
isabeau6(R1) is hard to type! Does anyone call you Issy?
There's a saying that the old timers use to have: "That's like the kettle calling the pot black." I guess I had that in formulation in the back of my mind.
feel free to call me izzy..that's what everyone called me on another forum..and hmm sweet i am sappy i'm not so sure...now dippy yea..
and ahh well irony tends to fly right over my head i'm afraid..i take things rather literally..
Discriminating the death penalty?
I have read what you all have to say. And understand that we all have our own opinions on this hot topic.
Just my opinion>> hell yes I would pull the switch in a heart beat.
My sister-in-law was murdered some 20+ years ago.
This man (animal) stole her live. He took her ,used her and murdered her and threw her body away as of she was rubbish.
Not only did he take her life away from us. He stole some of my childhood freedom. What he did effected all of us, we where limited to where we went who we went with. As I grew up it affected my children as well. Their childhood freedom was limited to where they went and with whom.
Every time we hear of a murder we have to wonder if this was the same man? Was another innocent life taken by this same animal?
Two weeks ago it was reported in our papers that another innocent was taken. Now they are trying hard to connect the two murders together.
So once again my sister-in-laws photo was flashed on all the TV station in every paper that was in print.
There where and still is mixed emotions on this.
1 Happy that the, may have finally caught the man that did this.
2 sad that my brother (rip) will never have closer
3 anger. That if this was the same man then this innocent girl would still be alive.
I know there is a lot of what if”s
What if he hadn’t done it what would she be doing now?
What if he had been caught would other have died under his hand?
What if he had been caught and was free now would he do it again?
Many times I hear people say … forgive and forget.
Well NO... I won’t ever forgive him for taking her life stealing our freedom
I won’t forget what he’s done how he changed our life’s.
Will it make me a better or a lessor person if he caught and is put to death? Who can say…?
But if I had the chance to pull that switch or put that needle in to him would I ?
YES!! Would it make me feel better? Yes and NO as we cant change the past.
But would I rest easier knowing that he is not around to take another innocent life.
Then the answer would be Yes.
I could justify his death but knowing that he could no longer take another innocent life.
Even though that I have been effected by this man. Not even I can say is it right or wrong to take another life
An eye for an eye? right or wrong.
No one can really answer that question.
Just my thoughts on this.

Dear Kate,
I my book you have the final say in what is done to those who have hurt you and those you love.
I'm sorry for your lose, and wish they could have caught him long ago. No one had the right to do that to you or her or your brother. She was the victim, and you all were the victim
TG
i've never been unfortunate enough to be a family member of a victim or friend of a victim so i can't tell how i would react in a situation such as that, Kate...i sympathise with you deeply...that being said, and i understand the need for closure and justice...would the death of the perpatrator (sp) grr would the death actually bring relief in the long run? would you finally then be able to accept what happened? would it bring the closure you seek....i don't know myself....it won't bring the loved one back...i do understand the idea of how can the killer etc. breathe fresh air when the one i loved is dead...
Years ago I was home late at night, and I heard what I thought was a scream. It was winter, doors closed, TV on. I did something I had never done before or since. I grabbed a hunting rifle I had and went out side. I didn't know which way to go. I listened and there was no more sound. I would have gone if I just knew where. I stood outside for 5 minutes or so. I would have walked the streets but I was afraid of what would happen if the neighbors saw a man with a rifle walking around. I went inside, no even sure if it was a scream.
A man had killed his wife down the block, and I feel so bad I didn't know which way to go
We let her down. She deserved more from us.
Some day, when I see God, I'm going to ask him why he set it up the way he did. He makes it too hard for us.
Kate, that would not feel you better. Not at all, trust me.
hon do you speak from personal experience? you don't need to answer that...Quote:
