Have you achieved internal peace? (Is this accurate?)

What is it like?

How do you feel about China and its policies towards Buddists?

You will never get 100% proof of anything, it's damn near impossible. You can get close, but 99.99 still allows a very unlikely, but nevertheless a chance. It is unreasonable.

I agree with the humane approach though. It's just not top of the governments agenda. It sounds harsh, but who will care about a man who is locked up 23/24 hours a day that is in government? Nobody, the won't vote for him, so they don't care. Harsh world man.

Yes, but there are still variables. Slim variables, but still not 100%. The person could look like them. Slim chance, but still. The tape could have been manipulated. Slim chance, but still.

Witnesses memories can be fickle. Alibis could conflict evidence. Lawyers could cast doubt.

Slim chances man, but not 100%.

I respect your opinion, but I feel it's wrong. I think people shouldn't be locked up for extended time in basically solitary confinement just to be murdered.

I actually think the death penalty is needed, but the long ass time isn't needed, their suffering, in my opinion, is being executed, not suffering in a blank room, waiting and waiting and waiting to die, alone in a blank room.

Wow, that's an eye opener.

My friend used to do psychiatric nursing, mostly older people 40-???. Back in the day he said a guy there was completely sane, but he was gay and this was the 60's in Ireland, so it was illegal. The parents of the guy agreed to put him in to avoid the family shame. He said the guy snapped when he was left in there so long. Scary. He said that stuff wasn't too uncommon.
