I have listen through rock and metal, now I shall talk and you shall listen. :):bounce: :P

lol rock and metal is good and ok dad i will obei *lol*

the path to true spiritual enlightenment is a hard and narrow path but i shall guide you along the way, however i don't think rock n roll is part of the bushido-code mind manual! LOL ^^

as long as the music moves you and livens the soul it can be found upon the path to enlightenment.
and if you think Rock can't move you may I point out
"time of your life" korn
and American Pie

Good Luck on your paper. It sounds like your going to have to hit your local library to find what your looking for, or the "local" state U. library (if you have one that is.). If you had more time you could ask about interlibrary loans for whatever books you need.
As to Capital Punishment in my opinion, While to be avoided generally there are some cases where it's just safer for the people to end a dangerous/deranged persons life than to risk they're harming others again. Ultimately though capital punishment is a right of the state. There should be very strict criteria regarding when its use is allowed and how it should be carried out. I see it less as punishment and more as precaution.
More to the point its existence is a confirmation that the right to take a life is limited to the state and not to individual citizens.
may be a lil bit vague there, but its a heavy question and definitely a grey area.
I do agree with lion that it's not entirely appropriate toa AMG site, but could resist putting my two cents in.

thanks for whatever you just said Chonrad

I agree that capital punishment is a heavy subject, however i am very liberating and find sometimes it is important to expose people to topics that maybe a little grey every onbce and a while ^-^ it is good for the system ^-^

Well I think that Capital Punishment should only be used on people who disserve it. There are 'murderers' and then there are 'cold murderers' In a revenge case, deep down you can kind of understand why the killer would have done it. Im not supporting them, Im just trying to look at it in a very out of the box way (if that makes sense). However in cold murder cases, where its just done out of cold reason or 'to destroy evidents' so to speak (Don't want to get to into it and affend anyone) Then capital punishment may be necissary.

You see a topic you might want to bring up, is that there are some people with mental issues, i can't quiet remember what it was called, something like 'sociopath' basically it is when you don't have a 'concience' so you feel no guilt in commitiing murder, and you virtually have no real personality, you built up your character. Its very scary, have you herd of the 'Lacey Case" and Scott Peterson? Thats a good case to look into its not hard to find on the internet, every talk show and magazine out there has looked into it. Perhpas you will find more answers there ^-^

Hope i was able to help!

and its not just for murderers lets not forget there are equally evil crimes out there! like rape and inciting racial hatred etc.

Yes good point Keichi ^-^ Speaking of capital punishment, has anyone seen the new show Numb3rs?

i havent seen the show Numb3rs, not sure about anybody else here though, what is it about? is it anime? live action?

Thanks for the help Kitori

Numb3rs is a new live action series that rewcently premeiered a few weeks ago ^-^ its about solving cruimes using mathamatics. Its so interesting I personaly find it fascinating! I myself have always though the world worked around numbers, and this show is a perfect example of it ^_^
