Moral justification for the execution of criminals of war?
#85
RE: Moral justification for the execution of criminals of war?
Quote:Hmmm. . . quite colorful language.

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?
Cloaking savagery in utilitarianism does not make it less savage  Dodgy


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. Dodgy
