Quote:Hmmm. . . quite colorful language.Cloaking savagery in utilitarianism does not make it less savage
You can execute people in an orderly way, without becoming "a group of savages shrieking for blood." How about a statistical analysis, whereby executions of persistent violent felons saves lives on average?
Quote:I have to say, though, that despite your emotional persuasive language, you really haven't explained why chronic violent felons, say people with more than a few victims, should be treated better than livestock. The last time I checked, a cow didn't murder a child, get paroled 20 years later, and then go out and do it again.I refer back to the comment your responded to as you clearly didn't get it.

“No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
