Huh? Where did you come up with that out of what I said?
Note the part where I said "for example". You're talking about vengence yet we are talking about mental illness.
We were discussing an incident where a mother *was* found guilty of placing her child in a microwave and turning it on. She didn't just have the thought.. she carried out the act
Putting a baby into a microwave is obviously NOT normal behaviour.. wanting to understand her motives could prevent it from happening again yet you have deemed this (paraphrased) "insane dangerous mentality".
Prosecutors said Arnold intentionally put her baby in the microwave oven and cooked the child to death after a fight with her boyfriend.
Arnolds' cellmate testified that Arnold confessed to putting the baby in the microwave and turning it on because she was worried her boyfriend would leave her if he found out the child wasn't his.
The baby's DNA was found inside the microwave in Arnold's apartment, prosecutors said. A forensic pathologist testified that the girl likely died after being burned in the microwave oven for more than two minutes.

Why are you reposting what I've already read?

me. I was arguing FOR gay adoption, not against. By pointing out that the main arguement against gay adoption is
that gays will make bad parents. But again never heard of a gay parent microwaving a baby.
.. but then again, that's me.
You might label me as a mom though instead of mad. *shrugs*
