Death is too good. No punishment could fit this crime.
Don’t be silly. I suggested upthread that he be fed alive to sharks. Surely that would be adequate.
Bleeding heart. That ould only take a few second. This is what I said upthread that they deserve:
Even that stuff doesn’t really undo what they did to those innocent people, though. One of them was sending cell phone pics to his friends of the 11 year old girl he was raping before he murdered her. Things like this are exactly the reason I can’t believe in God.
Hmm. Dio, I wonder. Will the rats eat the salty meat? I reckon they would. Rats’ll eat just about anything, I reckon.
It’ll seem longer.
Doesn’t follow. Things like this only argue against an omnipotent, interventionist, benevolent God. They don’t argue against Wotan or Yahweh.
Someone at work, upon hearing my liberal beliefs, stated “you probably don’t even believe in the death penalty.” Boy, did he get a surprising earful.
have long held the belief, since I first heard it given by Don Imus, that anyone convicted to death should be killed in the same way they did the deed. I would love to see this monster tortured, raped, and burned alive.
I’ll be especially impressed to see how you manage to do it twice. Do let us know how that works out.
Who would pay for therapy for the poor son of a bitch who has to do the raping?
Use a small shark.
Just because it’s called a “nurse shark” doesn’t mean it actually has a degree in anything, let alone therapy.
Is that a challenge? Because I have, like, three different ideas how to accomplish that.
Death. I see no reason to spend any money on their upkeep at all. No money for food, no money for medical care, no money for housing them or clothing them. Just kill them and get them off our planet.
Personally, I go with “ethics necessary to function as a human society we can all be proud to be a part of.” But maybe that’s just me.
I think they should be put in a prison at taxpayer expense where they will be housed, clothed and fed for the next 50 years, and probably also keep raping and attacking people. This is the ethical thing to do. It wouldn’t be fair to execute them, because…uh…because there’s a tiny chance that some innocent people might get executed, even though the people in this case are not innocent…but…the death penalty is just wrong, man.
Please, explain to me how we’re better off if it’s absolutely wrong to kill except to prevent harm to yourself or others, unless you’re the government, in which case you can do it because someone made you mad.
Also, unless you think prison rape is a good thing instead of further evidence of a broken criminal justice system, I fail to see how it’s relevant here.
Also also, when did you start posting again and get your name changed back?
It’s okay, Argent, I’ll handle this one.
Answer: It’s not absolutely wrong to kill.
I did. villa claimed
This claim is false. People do say that. Your own example shows that this is true -
Saying you don’t want your taxes to go to support a murderer (your attempt to play the race card is despicable and dishonest) is not an argument that the state should be an instrument of revenge. And your counter-argument makes no attempt to refute the idea of revenge - it is quite straightforwardly what I said it was - an attempt to assert that the death penalty costs more than life without parole.
There is no reference to revenge anywhere in the exchange. Your assertion that there is is simply false.
So is the original assertion that people don’t argue against the DP based on cost.
Such examples could be multiplied almost without number.
People make exactly the argument that you claim they did not. Attempts to say otherwise are clearly false.

You of all people are saying something someone else does is dishonest?
For shame.
Why?
Because taking that thought to it’s logical absurdity would mean that we couldn’t kill animals or plants for food. Which would cause us to die. What good would that do?
In fact, most of my experience has shown that the vast majority of people don’t think that killing is wrong, we all just have differences in what the threshold should be for it being acceptable.
