		<description>Curt, I&#039;d appreciate it if you didn&#039;t delete this post - I&#039;ll do my best to cause no offence, but a point&#039;s been put to me, and I&#039;d like to answer it.

Alex - respect for you to even being involved with these conversations at 14. Most folks your age are mainly preocupied with computer games and pussy, and it&#039;s always nice to find an exception to the rule.

But... Do you really think it enhances your argument to call me a &#039;hypocritical fag&#039;? I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve been particularly hypocritical - I&#039;ve made my point, same as anyone else, and I&#039;ve stuck with it. As for me being a fag - I&#039;m still with the girl I met at 16. It&#039;s been a decade now, and we&#039;re very happy.

As for &#039;there&#039;s very little point in writing this&#039;... I think that assumption has been proved true. I&#039;ve made my point, and nobody listened, or cared - ergo, it was ultimately pointless. Such is  life.

And in regard to &#039;that&#039;s what the media is [are, technicaly - it&#039;s a plural] there for&#039; - well, yes, in a perfect world. But in the real world, they have their own agenda, and their own message - I&#039;m not saying it&#039;s all lies, but one should always look for bias. Be dispassionate.

I&#039;d agree that my comments have no statistical backing, but outside of pure science - whose do? We&#039;re swapping opinions here - it&#039;s art, not science. But I&#039;d refute your argument that they have no logical backing - you may not agree with my logic, but it&#039;s there...

And Tookie? Clearly, your point that &#039;NOBODY wanted him to live&#039; is erroneous. You might not agree with the people that did, but there was a fairly sizeable movement to preserve his life. I&#039;m not with them - I don&#039;t know the facts of the case(s) in question. The only thing that really bothered me was the enjoyment people seemed to be taking in his death. If someone has to be excecuted, it should be a matter of utilitarianism - not pleasure.

Finally, in regard to your grammar - I&#039;m really not that bothered ;) But I&#039;m a (semi) professional author, and I&#039;ll admit to carelessly making more mistakes than you mention... These things happen, when one starts rambling on. Still, give me the address, and I&#039;ll give you your real total.

Step back, mate. You clearly have points to make, but your vitriol detracts from your argument. Be calm, and be collected.

All the best,

Dave

		<description>WEll, I am a 14 year old male quite involved in these types of discussions. Here is what I have to say...

The interesting conversation between Dave and Curt. WEll, I want to point out that we kind of got off topic. But I have to agree that Dave is a hypocritical fag. That simple. I respect your opinion, however I want to point out a few questions I have in your arguments and pointless banteringg against Curt and others. Tell me Freud, while you were masturbating with self-satisfaction after writing your rigorous psychological analysis of their blogs, did it occur to you that nobody forced you to read anything on this site? You can bash me all you want, and throw all your cool high level words you learned in college, but that wont change the fact that you are being really gay about this. Curt said something, and then out of nowehre you decidded that your opinion is the right one, and that you could bash Curt, and people who shared his opinions. YOu are a condescending asshole, and i just wanted you to know that. Well, here we go. Your first post on this blog, (that is ruining the internet!!!! what the hell, nothing is ruining the net)

&lt;blockquote&gt;

There&#039;s probably little point in writing this...

It&#039;s worth noting that none of you have met this man, or attended the trial, or probably read any more on the subject than that which you were spoon-fed by the mass media. Pretty weak grounds for demanding a man&#039;s death, is it notâ€¦?

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Then you have the audacity to say &quot;There&#039;s probably little point in writing this&quot; Well, you, for one care. Or at least you give enough of &quot;a point&quot; to write a vitriol saturated blog as if you&#039;re some how above it all.

Yes, it&#039;s quite clear that you have better things to do with your time. I mean, posting blogs to strangers on the internet is quite a fruitful endeavor, right up there with, oh I don&#039;t know, maybe GETTING A JOB? You know, I was wondering: if you don&#039;t have a job, then who&#039;s paying for you to be on the internet? Who&#039;s paying your electricity bills? Who&#039;s paying you enough so that you can not only afford to eat every day, but that you have so much extra that you can afford the luxury of logging on and sending candid blogs to random people on the internet? Who? Tell me, how did posting this blog possibly help to improve your pathetic situation? u&#039;re bald, scrawny, unemployed and haven&#039;t had sex for over eight years (thankfully), at least you can take solace in the fact that your one and only argument in your post wasn&#039;t flawed by a glaring contradiction, right? Oh wait.

WHo really gives a shit if you were at a trial or have been listening to the media? Thats what the media is there for. Now, I for one hate the media, but you look past the plain point that Tookie killed 4 innocent people, and started a notorious gang responsible for the degeneration of our nation. The media did not get that wrong Dave. THus it is certainly not weak grounds. But again I have no problem with you thinking that he deserves to live.

Here is where it gets hairy...

&lt;blockquote&gt;

I pity you. Maybe he deserved to die, maybe not - it&#039;s not for you bloodthirsty little plebians to say. Your ignorance is overwhelming, and articulated - badly - by the reams of idiot comments on this site.

Sadly, a lot of people seem to hate americans - I think it&#039;s the fault of people like you guys, pandering to the stereotypeâ€¦ Dust off the communal braincell, and try *thinking* for once.

Oh, for all you religious types - isn&#039;t forgiveness one of the key tennets of Christianity? And is killing really the only viable means of punishment? No-one wanted the guy let offâ€¦

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Why did you have to go and dis Curt like that man? And then you go off on an &quot;america is being hated&quot; tangent. Dont give me that bullshit. HOW the fuck are you supposed to know that &quot;a lot&quot; of people hate america? And god forbid what if they do? It didnt even fit in that argument!!!

And how it&#039;s people like us who are the causes. WHere did you come up with this Dave? It seems to me that you are posting comments that have no logical, or statisical backing. Thats cool, make shit up to sound really smart. Then just pull in some random opinions and make fun of stereotypes. O, lord, hes gotta stereotype southerners who he thinks share the responsibilty of how Europe looks at us. What the fuck man, where did you find the material to correlate that shit.

Dave, you generalize a lot, I hope you really dont mean it, but NOBODY wanted Tookie to live. Nobody, that means EVERYONE wanted him to. Dramatic prose, or just extreme exagerations, regardless you sound like a fucking cry baby. It comes down to this Dave. You argue something, somone challenges you. YOu cant react like a nice person, so you have to get some big words and then contradict past arguments of your own, and just blabber to confuse people into believing that what you are saying makes sense.

Advice for Dave:
1. Stop being a pussy. If you&#039;re going to cuss, just do it.
2. Shut up. You don&#039;t know anything.
3. Get a vasectomy.



ANd on a side note in regards to my grammar and spelling, as of this writing, I&#039;ve written 283 web pages containing over 122,000 words. Let&#039;s say that hypothetically each page contained 3 typos (the actual number is much lower than that, but for the sake of argument bear with me). So that would make a grand total of 849 typos on my web site, or 0.7% of the total words on my site incorrect. That&#039;s less than one percent of all the words on this blog spelled incorrectly given this generous model. Hell, even if I had 5 mistakes per page, that would still only make 1,415 or 1.15% of the words spelled incorrectly.

		<description>So if someone throws out a blanket stereotype about europeans, its &quot;ill-thought-out blogshite&quot;?

Yet, you can offer a suggestion like; &quot;Dust off the communal braincell, and try *thinking* for once.&quot;

And why do you assume that no one puts any faith in the Old Testament. Are we all supposed to jump through hoops because a roman emperor and some church &quot;officials&quot; decided what was to become part of the new christianity and what was not?

Our level of enjoyment, which you amazingly seem to be able to glean from a few lines of script, is that justice has been served. After 26 years, justice has been served. Please take your narrow mind and predeterminism elsewhere.

		<description>I&#039;m against the death penalty but not on this scumbag. I&#039;m so happy that he is dead although I wanted him to be tortured and strangled, molested, raped, beheaded, and other stuff but USA is not like that. Anyways, so happy to hear that this flea is dead. I will have a party tonight and cheer for Arnold. I thought that he was dumb but turned out that the California governor has some sense. THANK YOU ARNOLD. FUCKU TOOKIE. I hope that you burn in hell with thousands of needles of pain inflicting on every nerve cells of your fucking brain. HAAHAHAHAHAHAH

		<description>As a lefty myself I won&#039;t shed a tear for this scumbag.  In fact, it&#039;s too bad Mumia won&#039;t fry or we coulda had a two-fer.  I wouldn&#039;t lump all leftists together with the Hollywood types though, that&#039;s like me calling all rightists Pat Robertsons.  Thanks for the opportunity to put in my two cents.

		<description>living the life of a gangster comes with consequences, when you take peoples life the chances of you yourself greatly goes up, if tookie williams was on the street he would have already been killed. hes been in jail for 26 years, and has only been acting right for the last 10. he refuses to cooperation, and I can repect that, but if this was your crime and you got caught than stick your chest out and take your punishment, dont try to hide behind kids books and dont try to act like you are so change when you are still calling-shot for the crips in jail. having a fake-ass gangbanger like snoop speak for doesnt mean shit. ok, so your supposedly worried about the and want to inspire them, look at snoop, all he talks about is guns, weed, and bitches. And the reason
i called him a fake gangbanger is because it must be really easy to be a crip when you got security like the dam president.
tookie, die knowing that this gang you that you started has called so many youngsters to die for not a dam thing.
rest in piss

		<description>To grant clemency to Tookie would be a miscarriage of justice of the worst kind.

It is revisionist history; a vicious attempt to try to re-write the deadly deeds of a true scoundrel.

		<description>What&#039;s the purpose of even having consequences if the consequences are never carried out as intended and ordered.  But instead waivered. To me, it&#039;s very simple, as an United States citizen and in some states it&#039;s no secret that if you kill another person you can be found guilty and sentenced to death.  If you do not want to be begging for your life from behind bars as they move you closer and closer to the chosen method of death, then stay the hell out of trouble. So... now Tookie wants forgiveness? That&#039;s an issue he needs to take up with his God.  His consequences are set, they were a long time ago and it&#039;s time that the government see this through.
AND what kind of message will be sent to the up-and-coming criminal element?  That if you want to kill a few innocent people, go for it because down the line you can just wiggle yourself out of the consequences by saying you&#039;re sorry and I&#039;m a changed person. Great.
