Do you support the death penalty?

[Fanosolia]

What attitude to death?

"Death is bad, I have to attend a funeral & cry just because." It's almost as if we forget that birth begets mortals.

I have a suspicion that you've had an obe, or similar experience.

Striking out hypocritical things.
The quotes are just a person whining on going to a funeral. Really. It's not because you're morals, or any of that, you're not even concerned with death.
Death also doesn't have to go with a funeral.

I want a party when it's my time to go. With alcohol and karaoke!

[Nuwe Suid Afrika]

I support the death penalty.

Dehumanizing? Yes. But what does that matter when a person already has nearly no rights in prison?

When a man kills two of his children and tries to kill another, rehabilitation will fix nothing. Rapists and child molesters usually get killed by their fellow inmates anyways.


I think the death penalty works well as a deterrent to keep us in place in society. Sure there's jail and prison, but then there's a lethal injection that will put you to sleep for the rest of your life.

[New DeCapito]

Having the death penalty for murder is hypocrisy. In a way, some judges have murdered more than the murderers.

Sentencing someone to death in accordance with the law is not murder.

Define murder. I define murder as the intentional killing of another human being, what about you?

So do I, I frankly find it disgusting that the intentional killing of one human being is deemed worse than that of another human being and that law could ever take such a preference.

Murder:
Noun
the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

Verb
kill (someone) unlawfully and with premeditation.

Unlawfully. When it's done lawfully in an act of justice (i.e. the death penalty), it is not murder.

I mean, it doesn't, but hey, I used to like to play make-believe too.

[Rob Halfordia]

Wrong

Care to explain why?

Because it's not the definition of the fucking word.

[Sosi]

How pragmatic are you being with such opinions?

I don't know. I hardly think I'm pragmatic.

It's a brilliant idea. If every crime had a strict consequence there'd be an empathetic incentive not to have so many trivial little laws. Mate, it's brilliant.

Yeah I'm sure that won't back fire on you. Not like an uprising can come from that. Not like people will be paranoid from that.

That's tension for reform. People ought to put pressure on politicians to serve them or they're incorrectly doing democracy.

Sure, I can accept that. But it still doesn't make it morally right to kill someone just because some men said you could.

Me too. Then I grew out of liberalism.

Is said law ethically, morally or humanely acceptable?
Is preference of one life over the other ethically, morally or humanely acceptable?

It is unfortunate that premeditated killing could ever be deemed lawful.

[Furry Alairia and Algeria]

Wrong

Care to explain why?

Murder is the unlawful killing of another with malice thought. No matter what you say, law will always become involved, and so will people, whenever you kill another person of the same species, hence, unlawful, unless determined lawful because it is justified for x reason.

[Nuwe Suid Afrika]

Sure, I can accept that. But it still doesn't make it morally right to kill someone just because some men said you could.

Our parents teach us our morals, just as theirs taught them theirs. Everyone has their own set of morals. I have the position that the death penalty is morally right, and you have the position that it is morally wrong. Residing on morals unfortunately isn't an argument.

Okay......not sure who you're talking to here.

The most concern it makes sense to have with death is bodily disposal, it needn't be any of of our business outside of that.

We need it though if there's not reason to revolt, which your idea would give a perfect reason too. You don't see how that's extreme in anyway or see how most people won't put up with it?

In that case, it seems your morals support valuing one life over another merely because of the decisions of a few other people living a few other inconsequential lives. It is hardly our decision to put a price on a life just like our own.

What do we need if there's no reason to revolt? If there's no reason to revolt in a Democracy politicians will deliberately act against their constituents. Hell, politicians should live in the conditions that the poorest of the poor do. A statesman should be comfortable relative to the least comfortable.

[Aelex]

Except, you know, they're still Homo sapiens.

Being human isn't just being part of a species. It's also being able to both reason and empathize. Altought it must be reserved to some crimes, Death Penalty is still a good thing.

What if they're innocent? Studies have shown 4% of Death Row Inmates are and so since 1976, as many as 56 innocent people have been killed in America.

Also, by saying it doesn't matter because they have no rights in prison, you're just opening up another debate on another human travesty.

Okay one less reason to revolt. I'm saying that killing people in the name of deterring crime, even the small stuff, would cause a revolt. I'm sorry if think keeping the peace is more important that deterring crime to an extreme.
