What're your questions for the world?

EXTRA INFO ABOUT THE SITE:

Hey! This blog is about asking questions that're on my mind or that people may ask me. These are not little questions really and they can have multiple answers so feel free to answer them as you see fit. The whole point of the site is to have people think about the world and the way things are. If you don't agree with something I've said tell me why with a comment (you have to have a google account), but please don't use that as a way to be obnoxious. Everything is pretty much up in the air when it comes to what you think and how you feel about something so I can't really set down any guidelines other than don't be too judgmental of another comment or of something I may have said.

Stay open-minded and hear people out. =]

Hope you enjoy and don't criticize what I'm trying to say too harshly. Although of course I'm open to criticism and debates. =]

Also...Email me @: tomiahayes@yahoo.com if you have a question you'd like to have posted on the site. Remember they have to be versatile and have many possible answers and they can't be...child-ish.

Why: Do People Kill People That Kill People To Show That Killing Is Wrong? (Asked By Kathryn)

       That is such a good question. I mean, of all the double standards in the world...
       When someone murders someone else (and they're actually caught), they're sentenced with either life in jail or death. Now, I totally get that the murder victims loved ones are gonna be pretty pissed and distraught. They'll all want revenge and whatnot. It's just that...If we're trying to tell people that killing other people is bad...What sense does it make to kill someone to prove that point? 
       "If you kill someone we're just gonna kill you"...really? 
        As people, we all have emotions and our instinct is to get rid of the problem, in this case that's always the killer. I guess I see the logic when it comes to say a serial killer, kill one person save a lot of lives...But when you look at it from the view point of "We're teaching the world a lesson" I don't really see how they expect us to listen when they're killing people. I could see maybe torturing somebody and locking them up for the rest of their lives, but when a person kills, say, an entire family, and you repay them but injecting them with some drug that let's them feel no pain...what is that really saying? "You kill someone and let them hurt, and we'll kill you nice and easy." I don't see the logic there. 
       All-in-all it's a pretty stupid system. If we don't want people to be killed...Why are we just gonna kill people? I mean that could anger a lot of people and make them go out and kill more people. Am I the only one who thinks like that?
       Well...You tell me...Why? Does that make sense?
