The Death Penalty - are you for or against it and why?

[Violet]

You just made the waste argument perfectly, devaluing another thinking being like yourself.

Is it also devaluing to consider another carbon-based being like myself to be my food?

Hmm...I see this has touched a nerve. I was just trying to debate the issue, there is no need for insults like calling my worldview small.

It must be smaller than accurately considering the point of view of anyone backed into the corner. The death 'penalty' is not a deterrent: it is easy. It doesn't make good use of a body, and it is far more appealing to many poor people than to live in that state.

Criminals are fascinating, really. Perhaps you should speak to some of them.

Try and keep in mind that I'm only saying it's a fair punishment for people who commit extreme crimes like Nazis, which you have no problem with.

And yet you think the Nazis committed crimes. Extreme at that. Hah.

Really... what is fair? What is deserved? This is a value, and as so very many are: subjective. I consider the likes of the Holocaust to be somewhat brutal and unnecessary. I do not consider it to be a crime.
