Is it okay to disagree with you?
Am I intimating otherwise? I'm trying to have a conversation. If you want me to fuck off, say so.
So you would feel totally justified killing a person you thought deserved to die?
I mean, I think Pat Robertson deserves to have his car stolen, to say the least. But I don't think it's ok to steal his car, and I would still condemn someone who did it.
We're talking about institutionalizing murder here. You know, fucking killing people. I think that's barbaric.
It honestly doesn't feel like a conversastion with you. I would like you to back off yes. It seems like you are opposing me just because you dislike the death penality, rather than bringing arguments to the table that might give me pause or rethink my stance, or that explain why you feel as you feel other than to state in moralistic terms that it is "barbaric".
Hell *I* had to bring up an argument that brought *me* pause instead of you doing that for me.
And yes, for the 2nd or perhaps 3rd time I would feel justified in killing a person who committed murder.
Why do I keep having to say that? Yes. I support the death penalty. Yes, I think certain crimes should have the death penality as a punishment.
I'm sorry my answer isn't good enough for you and I have to repeat myself ad nauseum.
Back off.
