In response to "Capital punishment "

The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.

In response to "Texting "

I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.

In response to "Blessings "

Excellent point! I have to take time out now and then just to say to myself, you have nothing to complain about when compared to others. I have a small medical condition but not life threatening. I am 79, see good, hear good, walk good - no complaints I say. So we do need to remind ourselves how good we have it.

I guess as you get older it comes before us more, like for Willie Nelson in his 90s. Age is a big factor. But, since we have no real control on age, we all age, we must make the best of it.

Blessings to you, and thanks for reminding me how go I have it!

Dogs and dog toys are one of life's hazards. I wish you a quick recovery. Happy Thanksgiving.

In response to "Gratitude "

I can understand the patients mistaking their gratitude for romantic love, since they were the ones suffering and they were helped. But when the doctors and nurses take that patient seriously, it becomes something else; luckily, this is rare.
Like you said, there are many kinds of love.

#1901868 by Lyn's a Witchy Woman

On this day in 1982, the first execution by lethal injection took place at the state penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas. Charles Brooks, Jr., convicted of murdering an auto mechanic, received an intravenous injection of sodium pentothal, the barbiturate that is known as a “truth serum” when administered in lesser doses.

What are your thoughts on executions? Are you in favor or against and why?

This subject is one which tests one’s moral/value compass. Australia and the UK no longer have the death penalty. There are definitely times when I feel the death penalty is called for, especially when there is no doubt about the guilt of the person. But could I be the one who administers the punishment? No, I couldn’t. No matter the mode of death, be it hanging, electric chair, gas chamber, or lethal injection, I personally couldn’t do it. So what right have I to expect someone else to pull the lever, turn on the gas, or administer the poison?
There would always be that lingering doubt in my mind, the accused may yet be innocent.

I know the bible asks for an eye for an eye, but by killing a murderer aren’t we perpetuating the crime and what the accused has done? Have we the right to take a person’s life? Who decided that it was okay?

For some people being incarcerated for the rest of their lives is worth than death. So let them suffer in jail, deny them their freedom, and let them think about their crime until they die a natural death in prison.
