HAH HAH! My subliminal hypnotic media is working!
Onward to world domination!!


But on a serious note does anyone have an opinion on the meaning of the colours?

Have been known to partake in heavy drinking of brown ale, it is heavy I can tell ya, but you would be mistaken in believin that N'castle is my origin.

If in the process of trying to read this, you are sitting convulsing while foaming at the mouth(keep off the coke),then good luck with the court case. 😛

Sorry, I didn't express what I meant clearly, but just wanted to see if anyone understood the colours meaning.

Supposedly you used the rainbow Yin/Yang color wheel, thereby expressing the weight/balance; extroversion/introversion. Yes?..

A lot of inncocent people also kill themselves. Why?

How would you feel if you where in death row and you knew all of society was bent on killing you? Maybe you made a mistake, maybe you killed someone. But your still a human person with human feelings and even the human ability the change and learn from you mistakes. How would you feel?

Well, I'd feel pretty upset about it. Which is why the question must be asked. Why do they accept their sentence without hazzle (those who do that is)?

I can only think of one reason: To annoy those who really wants to see them suffer. It's the perfect way to strike back if you think about it, because if you were to try and say something you'd probably not be able to keep a clear voice, or any fear and disgust you may feel could possibly break through so that those whom judge you will know you're in pain.

I'd just shut up, look 'em straight in the eyes and take it. Or, even better, try and come up with a good, punhcy phrase that would stick with them forever, so at least they won't be able to forget me.

I'd berate the victim's family for coming to watch it, because the point of the punishment in the context of rule of law is to support formal rules, not provide the satisfaction of revenge to people. Therefore, if they watch, the victim's family passively exhibit the same barbarism which I actively exhibited by killing their family member. I would make this clear to them in the most contemptuous language I could muster. Then I'd laugh hysterically when they stuck the needles in.

Actually, I'm an extreme needle-phobe, so I'd probably pass out.

I'd walk into the death chamber with absolute impassive placidity, then at the last second when the syringe was produced I'd burst out hysterically with "No, wait, what are you doing? Mr President, you promised me immunity! I did it for you! Those women knew too much, that's what you said! I was only doing my job! Nooooo!"

Good one... 🙂 Cast the doubt on someone innocent. Or did the president in fact encourage you to do it?.. Oh, no, the cast of doubt has been spilled already.. I'm the president, damned! I'm telling you! I'm innocent! Nooooo...
