Saturday Six - Episode 232
Happy Saturday, everyone. Here’s a list of questions about crime and punishment. I look forward to seeing what you have to say. (And yes, there’s a quiz that’s crime-related, too.
- First to play last week: Jude of My Way. Congratulations!
(According to the rules, “First to Play” requires you to be the first to include the link to the specific entry in which you answered the questions, not just the general link to your blog.)
Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!
1. Do you think that capital punishment — as the system now operates — is a deterrent to crime on any level?
2. With changes and/or improvements to the justice system designed to better enforce capital punishment, do you think it could be a better deterrent to crime?
3. Should the punishment a man who kills a pregnant woman be worse than the punishment a man who kills a non-pregnant woman faces?
4. Take the quiz: What Felony Are You?
5. You stop by a post office to run in and mail a letter, knowing you’ll only be inside the building for 10 seconds. To park close to the door, there are only two options: you can either park in an open handicapped space (and assume you don’t have a handicapped permit) or park illegally in the fire lane. Would you take a handicapped space, park in the fire lane, or park in a legitimate, legal space and walk?
6. Should police target people who use marijuana when there is no legitimate medicinal need for it?
If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), send me an email! I’d love to be able to include it in a future edition of the Saturday Six.

I put my answers up but I’m not saying whay felony I’d be, too much on the ego.

I had an entire set of answers typed out to post here, but Firefox ate them, and I ain’t typing them again.
