You know how there is a word “inert” but there is no opposite word “ert”. Well, there is also a word “inept”, but there is a word “adept”, which is pretty much the opposite of “inept”.

Therefore I propose a new word “adert” specifically to be the opposite of “inert”.

Rex Heuermann pled guilty today to killing 8 women; there is no chance he will get out of prison before he leaves in a body bag. This poll is ‘inspired’ by others who have plead guilty to life in prison with no possibility of parole rather than go to trial & be subject to the death penalty if convicted.

Hypothetical: You killed someone, in premeditated cold blood, in a state that actively puts prisoners to death. Would you

  • Please guilty, live out your natural # of days in a cell
  • Prefer the death penalty & live a lesser # of years in a cage
0 voters

There is on Other option & there is no discussion on the morality of the death penalty & whether it should be abolished. You’re in prison until you die, the only question is would you want that to be sooner or later.
