Oh wow. Another testament to the fact that some conversations are not worth having here.

@EgoDeath;
Your response is an ad hominem attack, not an argument. Only relevant if you want to retain your currently high level of credibility (at least with me)
I don't think it is. I'm not attacking anyone's credibility. I'm willing enough to accept that different people value different things on sometimes very fundamental levels. That being said, if you can't see why someone who killed 49 people deserves to die, the argument isn't worth addressing. Me explaining to you why I believe someone who killed 49 people should die will likely never convince you to think otherwise, nor will it lead to any interesting revelations for either of us... it will only make us go back and forth for a few pages before one of us bows out of the conversation. And I'm sorry, it's just not energy I feel like wasting today.
Everyone on this forum likes to act like they're here to have nuanced, intellectual discussions, but they're mostly not. I've mostly found that people just want to prove to you how right they are and how wrong you are. There are some exceptions though, and those are usually the people I enjoy discussing things with, whether we happen to agree on an issue or not.
The difference is, I don't care. Saying "it's just revenge" doesn't make any difference to me. Some people deserve to die. If it was up to me, anyone who committed crimes against children would be killed too.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
