pb – I agree with your point.

RB – It is harder to live with all the anger, bitterness and etc. Even if another life have been taken, that will stay and still eats up the lives of the people if they did not forgive. So, making an effort to forgive offers a more permanent answer. As Christians, we also know our weaknesses and know it is hard to forgive but God reminds us to place our trust in Him. He said, ‘Revenge is mine’. This is often repeated through the books (in the Bible) for 4,000 years by different prophets. So eventhough, you often hear Christians like to preach about forgiveness, I think it is because we have the faith that God will take care of things for us. We just have to step back and try to go on living.

Emily – Yeah, also agree with your point. But sometimes, we must have a few scapegoats to scare off the rest. So, I suppose capital punishment does have its positive points.

ali – Actually, I still pity her. I am sure she is sincere with her faith pleas. And it is not she alone who is wrong. She is after all, just a Gov. servant. There are bigger players and probably she get it hardest because she is a woman? Hahaha, ignore me. I don’t really care about the AP issue. I don’t get any richer or poorer with them.
