Yeah...I can't gin up too much sympathy for these folks based on their last meals and/or statements. They're on Death Row for a reason.

For instance, the guy who asked that his last meal be given to a homeless person? Shot and stabbed a 56-year old man and his 22-year old son, bound their bodies, placed them in a creek, and covered them in brush. One of them had his throat cut. And this was while he was on parole for a drug offense.

EDIT: Well, shit. Turns out the guy had a history of schizophrenia and maintained his innocence to the end. And was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial three days before his execution.

EDITEDIT: And the State of Texas denied his request to give the food to a homeless person. Okay, now I feel like shit.

'S cool man. You don't have to feel anything one way or the other towards the people. They're already cold in their graves and I doubt they care even if they know.

I just had a lengthy philosophical discussion with a friend on the nature of the world. We talked about our plans for our country and our future and how we could fix everything.

Then I remembered that we work in a fucking call center. Sigh.

EDIT

And now it's raining like a bitch and my place isn't waterproofed and I'm gonna have to mop up tomorrow morning and it's going to smell funny.

Tech support, or just customer service work? Or...*cringe*...telemarketing?

Customer service. I'm not equipped for tech support.

And man, telemarketers are the devil, I'd only associate with them if I were desperate.  :P

We moved to a building on the other side of the city. It takes me about 30mins to get home using public transportation, which is the time it took me to walk home, but being bound to some bus driver's schedule sucks.

I remember, in High School, we had a nice, easy going bus driver. However, whenever this driver called in sick, a replacement was used. This replacement had a definition of fun that would routinely almost give me a heart attack.

Occasionally, he'd swerve the bus back and forth on the road, enough to make everyone lean one way and then the other. While everyone else thought he was cool, he just give me panic attacks.

Eh, they're not too bad. I have a friend who works as a telemarketer during the summer breaks, to pay for college. He's a nice guy.

Actually, I don't have a phone at home either, so I've never been telemarketed. However my cellphone service provider is rife with spammers on the network.

Outside smells like dog shit. I'm not exaggerating. Living on the countryside, I'm used to all kinds of shit-smells from the fields, and this is nothing like it. There goes one of the last days of summer.

Yeah...I can't gin up too much sympathy for these folks based on their last meals and/or statements. They're on Death Row for a reason.

Man, you ruined the plan! I was going to give a lecture on how you can't say the guy has "reformed", since being on the death row doesn't necessarily mean you're a "bad" or "evil" person, or at the very least not through and through.
Then you go and and reveal the guy's mentally unstable.

Very well, at least it's still true.

The thought that some countries condone killing people, and for such a frivolous made-up concept as "justice" on top of it, makes me sick.
How the **** does the US get away with calling themselves a first world country? Just by having a bigger stick?
