| Message | I would say to harsh yet then you have the death penalty being lightened up. People have rights AWP lol and you know my points of view on them. No matter how digusting they are "smoking" it is their choice. As for the Death penalty why should the people have to pay taxes for someone that murdered a fellow human being. People at commit murder are monsters not humans and thus should be treated as monsters. Put them to death so that the taxs payers money can be put to better use. |
