If you do the math, that is about 7% of my annual earnings........ That is more than I spend on recreation, food, utilities, or gas.

I threw healthcare spending in there too since its another superfluous government program that should be taken care of by the private sector.

cool.

I wonder how much of that goes to keeping convicted murderers alive?

I'm sorry I'm not familiar with alts - but if you're American, doesn't make a lot of sense to complain about your tax rate though (particularly if you're middle or lower class). Sorry to assume things, not knowing who you are.

I'm against the bullet in the head too. If we're going to keep him alive, at least televise his weekly torture session (on pay-per-view) to send the message the right way. We'd make money off shit like that.

shevar is right.. try to pretend to more evolved than a monkey for once...

So what's the civilized punishment then? Free meals and board for the rest of their life? That isn't much of a deterrent.

yes. that is a civilized punishment and you're right - it is not much of a deterrent. But, apparently, the prospect of execution does not prevent psychopaths from running amok either.

21 years is the max sentence

"Such sentences can be extended as long as an inmate is considered too dangerous to be released, and legal experts say Breivik will almost certainly spend the rest of his life in prison."

they should kill him probably. he has more confirmed kills than Ted Bundy
