Do you think it will stop similar crimes from happening by way of threatening to kill those who commit them? Is there any proof that the prospect of dying for committing murder is a greater (or effective at all) deterrent than spending decades in prison is?
How is it that most of the civilised world has long shed this barbaric practice and have been the better for it and yet some of you think it will work better in your case and that you know better what you're doing than what the evidence actually shows? How far can this sort of blind arrogance go? How far does this sort of effectively murderous mentality go? You do realise, by agreeing with it, you're basically psychopaths who are condemning your own fellow citizens to death? Doesn't this strike anyone as odd at all?
Oh yay, EP is back!!
Welcome, welcome, fellow sh*t stirrer lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
