5/2 Zacarias Moussaoui verdict in 20 minutes (it's now 1:10PM, it'll
be out at 1:30PM). What is your prediction? Death or life in prison?
\_ Life. He didn't actually participate, and his role was minimal.
Death if the jurors are stupid / weak-willed. I wouldn't be
surprised if they vote for death just so they won't be outed as the
juror who voted for life for a 9/11 terrorist.
\_ 1:40PM LIFE!!! You're good. Let's play this game again.
juror who voted for life for a 9/11 terrorist. I might do the same.
\_ Thanks, but I also thought the jury wouldn't convict Scott
Peterson.
\_ The guy belongs in an asylum, but of course, we don't put people with
deeply held, illogical religious convictions in asylums. We praise
them as "people of faith".
them as "people of faith" (or, if we don't agree with the beliefs,
just call them "evil").
\_ It's okay to have faith and spiritual beliefs. Really.
\_ Sure it is, as long as they don't cause you to make dangerous
decisions because of an illogical spiritual conviction, like
"I can fly" or "God wants me to lead this country to war" or
"I will get 40 virgins in Heaven for this"
\_ But those are just as valid as any other non-fact-based
belief. Those beliefs are ok unless they aren't... well
maybe they're just not ok. |
