Skavlan is an arrogant prick But yeah depending on the guests, he can be really good.


Never seen Alan Carr, Ross is decent, but Graham Norton defenitely has extremely good reportoire with his guests, makes for exceptional tv.

Could it partly be because there are also more people reporting on things that you may not have heard otherwise before?



It's OK. Arid, dusty, hot. Heavily developed where no town really belongs. A long beach. Lots of skyscrapers along a main strip with tons of luxury stores. A bizarre fetish with luxury hotels ... very artificial-like, much like Vegas.

I hear it can be pretty empty too though. And Vegas definitely isn't empty. Also, like I said, I think Vegas has character .

I don't know how they do it, but I think the guests are always well chosen with Graham Norton. They always make for a funny ensemble.

In case you are against death penalty, which of these two sets of arguments do you find more convincing:

Set 1:

• The death penalty is an unjust response for the taking of a life.
• In many cases it does not match the crime.
• Our society holds that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
• Not all criminals deserve to be punished in the most severe way possible.
• Regardless of whether it is a deterrent or not, the death penalty is not necessary or just.

Set 2:

• The death penalty is not an effective response for the taking of a life.
• There is no credible evidence that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than life in prison.
• Making the statement that we take an eye for an eye only makes our society more violent, not less.
• Criminals do not need to be punished in the most severe way possible to reduce crime, states that have death penalty laws do not have lower murder rates than states without such laws.
• Regardless of whether it is necessary and just, the death penalty is no more a deterrent than a life sentence.

I'd say 2. Set one seems like an appeal to emotions and our "humanity" while Set 2 appeals to logic and the futility of the death penalty. I like 2.

Also, this got me thinking: If you take the Charlie Hebdo incident for ex, what happened there was people doling out the death penalty to people who they thought committed a crime. And instead of deterring us from depicting Muhammed, it ended up making people share it even more. Wouldn't there be a similar effect if the sides were changed?

I've never seen so many deaths here in Serbia. Over the past year or so there have been so many murders.. like never before. Or at least it wasn't mainstream. Just today I see a girl (23) found dead and one 11yo kid found hanged! Yesterday I read how one guy was found dead with his legs and arms cut. Also traffic accidents and kids drying and drowning in the river pretty often. But murders, rapes, kidnaps... That's just insane... I have no idea what's going on. I know that's all 'normal' world-wide but the amount of crimes has increased drastically. I know I read about some study where they compared the US and Canada when it comes to crimes on the street. What was the reason behind it was a huge difference between the two. Results were saying it's all because of the media and how there's way too much violence in the US hitting the main news unlike in Canada.

Still looks to be very low

What's the difference? Set 2 seems like Set 1 elaborated.

There's a difference between unjust and ineffective. But I guess your robotic brain can't grasp that .

yes but set 1 is worded with more about charged words and appeals less to the intellect than set 2

thats actually a great idea

I still think life in prison is worse than a death sentence.

We don't know that, because we don't know what happens when you die.

 

[Salvo]

Well, I am basing it on my opinion of what happens when you die.

What could happen when you die that would make life in prison seem better?

Hell, obviously.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Hell, obviously.

You're gonna die anyway. Prison is only delaying the inevitable with more suffering

 

[ALC]

Some would say that's what prison is.

Not bad. Though I'd stick with the Star Wars theme and choose Billy Dee Williams. More urban and he could sell a lot more hos and Colt 45.

What the hell's going on in The Bahamas, Belize and Honduras?

Honduras is drug gangs, that's for sure.

I still think life in prison is worse than a death sentence.

Depends on your cellmate.

Hell, obviously.

Oh, sure, like eternity vs. eternity minus 25 years in the Big House makes all the difference.

It does, as long as you're still in those 25 years. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't, I agree.
