And since you're so sure that my religious beliefs influence my social conscience, what about you? I seem to remember that you're an atheist, right? Can i stereotype about atheists? I think it might annoy you -- one feature of atheism is individuality, and so i assume you probably don't want to be lumped into the same grouping as everyone else?

And you took the 'actively' bit TOTALLY out of context -- i guess that's why you didnt actually quote that bit? I said you dont seem to be 'actively' against it, as in, you are not definate and deliberate and thoughtful in your stance against it. I think that meaning was pretty obvious from the context. And your answer made your view of this clear -- you are *not* actively against it, and you feel it has no relevance to you.
And there's no freaking need to attack me.

You don't seem to believe that humans are interconnected and that the way we (as a society) treat others is important.
Isn't that statement a bit of stretch?

Because I suggested you might be a Jesus freak?
I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry. No, I'm not an athiest.... but now I guess not only do you need my stance on the Death Penalty but you want my religious affiliation? You must know it's my birthday next week and are out shopping for me.
Some ideas.... A stuffed Nun in Executioner's Chair A rope with noose The Book Of Mormon, illustrated Newt Gingrich Autobiography
...or just make my day: Pay my Amnesty International back dues.

You are really pathetic, Micrówave. Even when *you* insult someone, you spin it to make it look like you're the victim.

IN THE REST OF MY POST I MENTIONED THE SMALL FACT THAT IN MY COUNTRY AND IN THE EUROPEAN UNION EXECUTION IS ILLEGAL. HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO INFLUENCE INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENTS???!!! IF IT WAS BLOODY ILLEGAL IN MY COUNTRY I'D BE VOTING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST IT AND HOPEFULLY PROTESTING AGAINST IT.
If you have a suggestion for how i can influence the democratic process in the USA without either being resident there or being an American citizen please do enlighten me. If not, then stop being sarcastic about my inability to vote in YOUR countries elections.

Saying someone is a 'freak' is not offensive? And your selective quoting missed the main content of the attack:
"This sounds to me like you're one of those Jesus freaks. Are you "actively" doing something about this every day, because I sure am not.?
But if you want to hold a candlelight vigil every night, that's sweet. Will you "pray" for me? And by pray, I mean the Christian definition - Doing the absolute least amount of effort while claiming that you care"
And if you don't want to talk about your position on things, then stop bloody well bringing up what you presume to be other people's positions.

I don't think your rant is actually doing much to convince people of the value of execution, so i doubt its doing much damage. :P

Well then, what the HELL IS AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL GOOD FOR???
I thought my opposing them was causing all this uproar and you needed to defend them. Now you're admitting the truth... finally. No matter how much $$$ you send to these people, it's not going to do one bit of good.
So because you take that stance (I can't do anything from where I'm at), that tells me you're OK with other governments killing convincted killers. Using your logic, of course.
Maybe YOUR frustration is because you've (like others) decided to turn this into something it wasn't and now all you do is sputter rhetoric. Microwave is for murder, blah blah blah. He must be from Texas where they like to shoot guns, blah blah blah... NOT THE ORIGINAL TOPIC: What a waste of time AI really is and how they only share half truths and facts.
You should have created a separate topic: WHY MICROWAVE IS FOR TYRANTS AND EXECUTIONS, but instead you decided to jump on the thread change chain. Now, we've found out that you do little to nothing regarding the situation but feel justified pushing your beliefs as the right beliefs.

So now you're saying that this is the "Value of Executions" thread? Maybe we should call it the "Catqueen does nothing to stop executions" thread???

AI are a pressure group. They cannot *force* governments into doing things. All they can do is point out where governments are breaching human rights. In a democracy, usually its up to the citizens to direct their government, not up to the international community.
And i never said you were from Texas, like to shoot guns or that you are for murder.
And when you gave examples of executions, that is where execution came into the topic. In the first post.
AI do a lot of other things - at the moment AI Ireland has released a video about the inequalities in the Irish healthcare system. If you would have brought up that instead of executions, we probably wouldn't BE talking abt execution.
