Care to elaborate?

How can you advocate for a death penalty and in (very nearly) the same breath decry something you've just said is a death penalty. This is rather like being pro-water but anti- H2O.
I'm not sure how incarcerating someone until they die qualifies as a death penalty - they're going to die anyway (everyone does).

Well because you're not sure, doesn't mean I'm wrong ! It means you're not sure !
Fair enough, that was sloppy wording on my part. I'll try again:
WHY do you consider lifetime incarceration to be the equivalent of a death penalty, when everyone is going to die anyway, in prison or out of it?
After you dodge that question, have a lash at this one: Why on earth would you cite the Human Rights Act's position on torture, which you oppose, when it expressly prohibits the death penalty, which you support (at least in the case under discussion)?
