Let's say you're in the slammer for a crime you didn't commit and they are getting ready to fire up old sparky for a date with you at midnight sharp. The warden sends someone in to ask you what your last meal is, but says "Bince BTR is running the show, we've cut back on last meal expenses so BTR can get a few extra bucks in salary, so we're capping you at $20." What would you get?
I'd go with:
2 piece white meat spicy from Popeye's with a side of mash ($5) 1 Chili dog from Portillo's (to enhance the smell when sparky fired up) ($2) 1 Large chocolate cake shake from Portillos ($3) 1 Pot Roast Sammich from Culver's ($5) 1 Krispy Kreme glazed donut ($1)
The last $4 would be a game time decision.

Cool thread even though it makes you actually think... The only way I'm on Death Row is if I've murdered one of those Corporate slimeball lawyers who continually hate on the 'poors' or........(a much more likely scenerio IMO) are hitting on one of my daughters. My last meal would be $6 popcorn chicken from KFC, 2 softshelled tacos from Taco Bell about $2 bucks. 3 fish fillets from Long John Silvers with tarter sauce and hushpuppies about $4 bucks. Cherry Mister Misty from Dairy Queen about a $1.00. Margarita and cheese and onion enchilada. $4 bucks on Thirsty Thursdays. To seal the deal a piece of Bishop's original Chocolate pie $2 bucks. Since that's only $19 bucks I guess I will tip $1 to the guy that actually pulls the switch, (I'm assuming I am being electricuted ala "^The Green Mile") Now I'm dead damnit! If I wasn't totally dead I would tell you to be very afraid of the the random mouse. I would love to segway here into a couple of scenes from "Shawkshank Redemption" but alas I need to punish my daughter for being out past her school night curfew. It sucks having to be the bitchy mom. Just sayin'

It was exquisit, don't get me wrong, but fuck that's pricey. And iagirl, regarding the last part...I don't know you, but I'm sure you NEVER violated school night curfew. Hopefully you don't come down on her too hard!

And yet the crime rate is comparatively low... How can this be? ? Without such an effective deterrent, shouldn't your state be as crime-ridden as a pre-Robocop Detroit? I'm flummoxed!!!

A large House pizza from Pagliai's ($18)
One pint of Guiness ($2)
After that, to quote Mickey Rourke in "Sin City", "Hurry it up would ya? I haven't got all night."

I bet that Iowa City, a town in a state without the death penalty, will have a higher murder rate in 2008 than anywhere in Japan, a nation with the death penalty. To tweak the hypo, we've come into Iowa and taken you to Texas.

Wow. This is a tough one.
I think I would have to go with:
Some Old Chicago Deep Dish pizza loaded up with everything, slice of strawberry cheesecake, any money left spend it on Sam Adams Black Lager.
That would almost make the "frying to death" part worth it!!

You can't have booze in the slammer, even for a last meal. The warden is a God fearing man.

Let me explain basic principles of deterrence and lack thereof. The result of deterrence takes place when, and only when, the sentence is carried out swiftly. If you, as an individual who is tempted to murder an innocent human being, realizes that it will be 20+ years before you are executed (because of the endless appeal process we can thank liberals (lower case) for) after being found guilty, the death sentence as punishment if caught immediately ceases to be a deterrent. If, on the other hand, you know that, after being found guilty of murder, you will be taken directly from the courthouse to the courtyard to pay the price, you'll think damn long and hard before committing the crime. Take a look at the differences between those locations who carry out sentences swiftly and those who don't. It just makes common sense. Look at the murder rate in Saudi Arabia where they don't play.

I'd suspect that the murders in Iowa City that have caused it to be such a statistically dangerous town have nothing to do with whatever Michael Moore was arguing in Bowling for Columbine, unless he wanted to outlaw ball bats and knives.

Nah, nothing like that. And really, you weren't paraphrasing all that closely, your comment just reminded me of observations/questions from the film, which asked why other countries (Japan was specifically cited) with similar amounts of pop-culture violence, etc had such comparably low violent crime/murder rates. Your comparison of IC to Japan made me think of that. That's all.

Think a little harder, and Japan's murder rate may be because they have an inherently less violent culture. Also....does each citizen there own a handgun...just curious. Yer silly.

AFter all, it's the whole package over there. Iowaflame, you're constantly talking about freedom, and you use as an example one of the more repressive regimes (with regard to freedom) that anyone could come up with. Nice comparison. Which is it...freedom or repression? You wingnuts can't seem to make up your minds. My basic point with you and doogiehowser,JD is that looking at different countries and their capital punishment policy is fraught with confounding variables (especially the prevailing cultural norms). I would argue that we have a higher murder rate because we are a very violent culture. There is a lot of data to support that. This would be true whether we have capital punishment or not. Lots of us glorify violence, right wingnuts?

Jesus Christ fucktards, what would your last meal be?
Japan's culture is no less violent than the US. They have a fetish for violence. Ever seen that Hentai manga crap? That stuff is huge o'er there.
But you ultimately raise the point I was trying to make above. Comparing the crime rate in Iowa with it's largely middle class, right center, family values population against Los Angeles with it's massive quantity of poors, far left, piss on family population is ridiculous. Without the death penalty, CA would be even more of a cesspool than it already is. There would be more Scott Peterson's running around.

There are varying degrees of deterrence in America. Where there is more deterrence, there is less crime. Where there is less deterrence, there is more crime......thats all. Having said that, I would have no problems whatsoever with public executions within 1-2 months of the verdict after a single quick appeal.

Okay already......here goes: Time the last meal to McDonald's $1 double cheeseburger deal..... that would get me 16 double cheeseburgers with Heinz Ketchup and cheese only and a large Coke plus tax. Screw the fries. McDonald's french fries have sucked ever since they went to that BS liberal (lower case), tree hugging, limp dicked healthy grease they use now. Fucking liberals (lower case) could f up a wet dream!

Hey Iowafan, what the hell are french fries? I've never heard of them. Just one of the many things we took from the white flag wavers in france (lower case) and made better with American ingenuity......that is until the "Fuck America", "We'll tell Americans what they will and won't eat" liberals (lower case) here in Conservative (Upper case) America (Upper case) chose to take away the goodness of perfection and completely frenchisize them again. As long as the liberals (lower case) don't get involved, our fries are better than the flag wavers, our vanilla ice cream is better than the flag wavers, our poodles are better than the flag wavers, our roast beef samiches are better than the flag wavers, our braids are better than the flag wavers, our bread is better than the flag wavers, our kisses are better than the flag wavers, our villas are better than the flag wavers, our manicures are better than the flag wavers, our croissants are better than the flags wavers and American women put the flag wavers to shame. french (lower case) women suck the root! They're hairy, they don't brush their teeth and they smell horrendous. Americans beat the shit out of the flag wavers in every single arena. I can't think of one thing that the flag wavers do better than Americans.....except wave their fucking flags. Thank God the flag wavers in America are limited to the liberal pussies. france (lower case) and liberals (lower case) suck! Hope that answers you question about french (lower case) fries Ralphie.
