You're quite right.
Apparently, I'm too late edit the prior post. That being the case, I apologize for attempting to politicize a little child's horrible death. Wrong place, wrong time.
And a specific apology to Chas for posting before I thought through what you were getting at.
Boru
We're good.
The comment was meant to be thought and emotion provoking, and it does seem to have done that.
I am against the death penalty because we don't seem to be able to administer it without bias or with much accuracy.
I am not against it on moral grounds. That is, I think there are crimes so monstrous that we are justified in believing a penalty of death is warranted.

And I do not. Agree to disagree.

Wherever you slice it, it all breaks down to us (the government) choosing to execute another human.
Relabeling others to be "non-humans" simply obfuscates the issue.
Such is intellectually dishonest - so square this circle:
Quote:I am against the government getting to decide who lives and who dies, yes.
Quote: why should I have a problem with killing monsters?
No, you are not "a horrible moral less person" - you're inconsistent and using emotional thinking.
Ironically, people who use emotional thinking to back the death penalty forget that life imprisonment is a nonstop punishment.
Death is a quick way out. I'm not keen on giving the guilty an end to their mortal coil nor stripping the innocent of theirs due to corruption, incompetance or bad luck.
I don't back the death penalty. I use factual logical thinking to decide my political opinions. I am against the death penalty. I use emotional thinking to express my emotions. Would I feel sad if these people were beaten to death, no. Do I have any sympathy for them, no. I would object to them being sentenced to death because I don't think 12 strangers or a judge should get to decide weather or not someone has the right to live not because I don't think they deserve to die.
I don't make political decisions or vote based on my emotions, but I'm still allowed to feel those emotions

No, this is not an example that some people should not be parents.
It's yet another example of State child protection agencies not doing their job and removing abused and at-risk children from their parents. The murder was 100% preventable.

The murder is 100% the fault of the murderer. Those people should not be parents and should be sterilized.

Unfortunately children's aid isn't omnipresent, and some of the laws proposed to make them more powerful really are a issue when it comes to my rights as a individual. that said, I really wish there was a hell for this useless lump of shit that decided to fuck.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Some people should not procreate . . . and in this case should get the lethal injection.

Political parties, guns and the death penalty are always going to be major hot buttons as long as two or more people are found in a room together.
Luckily, I have chosen the correct, inerrant position on all three.
Make the right decision and join me
