Prop's in your state

[Old Crow]

So what stupid props are being voted by your state this year, here are two of Michigan

Prop 4

Prop 4 would require a super majority to raise taxes in Michigan. The fact that its almost impossible to get a 2/3rds majority for anything, means it would be impossible to raise taxes in Michigan, while taxes are unpopular, they are sometimes necessary.

Prop 6

Prop 6 is basically a proposal to change the Michigan constitution to require the people to vote to make a international bridge crossing. There is  a crossing from Detroit to Windsor, CA called the Ambassador bridge, owned by a billionaire. Basically what it boils down to is he wants to build another bridge next to the existing one, and make even more money on the new bridge, while the state has proposed a bridge owned by Michigan and Canada, with the tolls going to road projects (which always need funding in Michigan) instead of the pockets of a billionaire.

That's not stupid at all, Prop 29 seems like a really good idea, and prop 34 can be agreeable, Why would you thing those were stupid!?

Well, 29 isn't stupid but 34 is...

Death penalty is something I support but I can see why you would think otherwise.

imho, it's good to be able to see why one might think otherwise about the institutionalization of murder. props

The problem I see with removing death penalty (and this is coming from someone who lives in a state who hasn't performed the death penalty in over 12 years) is that some people go beyond recovering, such as huge massacres or continuous killings over a lifetime.

Frankly, I feel like people who have committed murder more than once can't be rehabilitated due to sheer insanity or they're already a bane to society. Also note we have to pay taxes to keep them imprisoned. Just saying.

There's already a thread for death penalty debate, don't bring it here.

Why not?

[Cadaver]

They are not called props here. Right now, the legislature is out of session.  Thankfully.

[Boxman]

It isn't about debating. No one's debating. Regardless, I'm pretty sure that thread is long gone or locked.

All I know is someone mentioned it and a couple people said whether or no they liked it.  You wrote two paragraphs and started giving us your thoughts/beliefs.  If someone decided to respond to that this would easily become a debate.

[Old Crow]

Yes stay on topic, this is about the proportions in your state, not a debate about death plenty.

[Cortez (Mr. T. FOO!)]
