Frances Bean Cobain: "I don't really like Nirvana that much." -- (link) - Tim Apr 8, 11:47 17
- Oh who cares. Leave the kid alone. -- nm - con_carne Apr 8, 12:23 1
  - Nothing wrong with an interview. Especially considering the bank she continues to make off of us. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 12:25
- completely expected and understandable. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 8, 12:08 3
  - But 'Territorial Pissings' is a fucking great song. And "Dumb" -- I cry every time I hear that song. It's a stripped-down version of Kurt's perception - Ultron Apr 8, 12:18 2
    - I am still a big fan but I get why she's not a fan. - Mel Profit Apr 8, 12:39 1
      - Yup. I like that she has really listened to the catalog and decided what she likes. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 12:44
- Smart kid. -- nm - David Apr 8, 11:58 1
  - Except for the part where she prefers Oasis. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 8, 12:52
- It's just tough the way Kurt passed. She deserves to live a life of her own making. -- nm - budice Apr 8, 11:49
- That kid was bred to be messed up. -- nm - loosi at home Apr 8, 11:49
- that will show her Dad! - Epiphany Apr 8, 11:49 1

- Would we expect her to? - Ultron Apr 8, 11:47 4
  - I assume they are like AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica etc. Teens/Kids like them all at some point regardless of how old their music is -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 11:52
  - It was just a LITTLE before her time... -- nm - Ender Apr 8, 11:51 1
    - And even if not, no way a kid should like their parent's music. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 11:52

    - For me, it's always life in prison. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 11:42 32
      - me too. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 11:45
      - Yup. - znufrii Apr 8, 11:44 30
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 11:52 1
        
        I just don't agree with death as a punishment. I really don't want the state killing anyone. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 11:56
        
        If that were the easy way out he would have offed himself. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 11:45 27
        
        Any number of reason that would not be the case. Nice try though. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 11:47 26
        
        Yeah, lets just feed him and house him and let him gloat. - Ultron Apr 8, 11:48 25
        
        Because that's the only other option - znufrii Apr 8, 12:00 5
        
        Ah, so you'd prefer he be repeatedly beaten and raped then put to death? nm - Simon Phoenix Apr 8, 12:02 1
        
        Well it's not the Ritz, that's for sure. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 12:05
        
        He will still 100x better than the peole he killed. Than the children he killed. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 12:01 2
        
        Apples and oranges. - znufrii Apr 8, 12:08 1
        
        Bingo! Thanks for playing. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 12:12
        
        To me this is just the wrong line of arguing. The issue to me isn't whether this guy deserves to die, it's that if I accept his death I have to - pmb Apr 8, 11:56 16
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I'm not comfortable that we can be sure there's no coersion or that we truly know the full story. - pmb Apr 8, 12:13 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Actually, this is pretty well right where I am on this. Not that you asked me. - Simon Phoenix Apr 8, 12:04
        
        Good points, but I still disagree. This guy is not quite Hitler but shares in that there is zero doubt of his guilt. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 11:58 11
        
        This is where I fall. When there is no doubt of guilt for a crime like this...done. -- nm - Simon Phoenix Apr 8, 11:59 10
        
        The problem is you don't get that option. There will always be people who are believed to be 100% absolutely guilty that turn out not to be. People - pmb Apr 8, 12:27 9
        
        Actually, the only time I'd ever be that guy is if I was on the jury. And, frankly, that's exactly how I would vote on a death penalty case...just - Simon Phoenix Apr 8, 12:31 8
        
        Yeah, I get that, but the point I'm trying to make is that since you can't have the absolute certainty that everyone is going to apply your view of - pmb Apr 8, 12:37 7
        
        If someone confesses to killing a massive amount of people and continues to through a trial, they are as guilty as they need to be. - Ultron Apr 8, 12:46 6
        
        Again, you're missing the point. - pmb Apr 8, 12:49 4
        
        I understand that but it does not change what I said. It is black and white. Absolute. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 12:56 1
        
        But here' s my question for you then. I get that you're in favor in absolute certain situations, but the system that exists says that to get the - pmb Apr 8, 13:01
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Even that would have flaws. You just don't get divine certainty and absolute fairness of application. - pmb Apr 8, 12:58
        
        Word. -- nm - Simon Phoenix Apr 8, 12:48
        
        And TV interviews. Don't forget those. They'll be great too. -- nm - Simon Phoenix Apr 8, 11:53 1
        
        Hi everybody! -- nm - Charles Manson Apr 8, 11:54
    - Not me. - Will Hunting Apr 8, 11:41 5
      - There are a few more questions that can be asked and still the answer remains. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 11:43 4
        
        Glad to see you guys post...I was beginning to think I was the only one. nm -- nm - Simon Phoenix Apr 8, 11:48 3
        
        I tend to stay out of this stuff, but this kid is a mad dog and needs to be put down. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 11:50 2
        
        Word. -- nm - Simon Phoenix Apr 8, 11:50 1
        
        Yeah, lets hope they let this guy live. -- (link) - Ultron Apr 8, 11:51
    - Fry him. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 11:36
    - Yup. -- nm - spamlet Apr 8, 11:26 1
      - Though Peter Sagal does say it well. -- (link) - spamlet Apr 8, 11:30
    - this is why we need an island to send these fuckers to. - groiny Apr 8, 11:25 10
      - "What he meant is that Monster Island is actually a peninsula!" -- nm - prayformojo Apr 8, 11:43
      - Manhattan! -- nm - Max Apr 8, 11:42

      - South Pole. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 11:37
      - I'd say Madagascar, but then when the plagues hit they'd all survive -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 11:31
      - Like Cuba? -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 11:28
      - Can we turn Australia back into a penal colony? -- nm - spamlet Apr 8, 11:26 2

        seriously. what does he, think wigs is there voluntarily? -- nm - amanda Apr 8, 11:44
    - "Counsel is climbing the Mt Everest of Death Penalty cases." -- nm - budice Apr 8, 11:22
    - Ditto. - Mel Profit Apr 8, 11:22 9
      - The most chilling thing against him, that bloody bullet holed epitath scrawled on the boat about innocents should die -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 8, 11:38 5
        
        have we seen photos of this? I think I would flip to "fry" at that as well. -- nm - amanda Apr 8, 11:41 4
        
        photos and text of the message left on the boat -- (link) - zeitgeist Apr 8, 11:54 2
        
        I love that they added [hole] -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 8, 12:10
        
        Thanks. Full confession of killing "innocent people". -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 12:09
        
        I think we did, but can not recall. But yeah, he does not deserve to draw breath. -- nm - Ultron Apr 8, 11:42
      - [deleted] 2
        
        jails are full of co=defendants who were just there to go along, yeah sure just don't shoot nobody ok? ooops -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 8, 12:16
        
        That's what the defense is saying and I suppose I buy it. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 8, 12:09
    - I'm pretty much against it, but I also wonder what the cargo capacity of a predator drone is. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 11:19
