I posted this on the Pro site just there; just out of curiousity. I'd like to ask you as well. "On the Anti site, I get asked many hypothetical questions from Pros, and I do my best to answer them truthfully. I'd like to present you with a question of a similar nature. I visited my father yesterday, and asked his opinion on the death penalty. He said "I don't agree with the death penalty because I wouldn't be capable of pulling the switch or tightening the noose. I can't support other people doing what I wouldn't be able to do myself. I couldn't live with the knowledge that I had killed someone, no matter who they were." I agree with him. I couldn't kill anyone either. It would traumatise me for the rest of my life, and I think anyone who ends anyone's life, whether they be a murderer or an executioner needs help because there's something very wrong with that. Could you? Could you kill a terrified man/woman whose not harming you in front of their family and friends? Please be honest. Gillian x" Of course, the Pros on the Pro site have always been primitive and indeed untruthful and insulting towards me. They're also highly predictable. So I expect that although many will tell me they would pull the switch truthfully, many will lie as I couldn't put them in that predicament myself. I urge you to be honest. Gill. x I think I answered you on the pro site not sure. But I will be happy to answer you here. I went to the execution of the man that killed my father. I wanted this to happen. So yes if I can stand there and watch it be done, then I should be able to do it myself. Dont get me wrong. It is not an easy thing to be a part of, and there are many feelings that are involved in it that I could never tell you about. But you do what you have to do. Lostlove84, do you have a memorial page or site for your father?

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Lostlove84, do you have a memorial page or site for your father? Charleen offered to help me make a page for my father, but the sad truth is I really know very little about him. See my father and mother had slit up about 4yrs or so before he was killed( I was 9yrs old when he was killed). And I live very far away from my grand parents (his mom and dad) so I am not close to them. I did go see them about 3weeks ago, they gave me some more pictures of him that I love so very much and I went to my fathers grave for the 2nd time in my life.(jason is useing a picture of his grave stone as his avatar on the pro page) I also saw where he was FORCED in to the car and where they dumped his body. (I took pictures of both places) I guess you can say I came full circle. But no, I do not have a page for my father all though I would love to have one for him, I just dont have enough info or memories on him to make one.

oh yes, miles could make a great site for you.
I've thought about adding a victims area to my site. My great granddad was shot in the line of duty and have the link to his memorial on my home page.
But I thought about adding a page to add victims website links.

Gill. x Well...here's the answer of a "primitive pro" (since you like to call names) No. I couldn't. But then I wouldn't take the job in the first place.
