I'm letting you have an opinion, I just don't agree with you attempting to silence others by saying they can't have an opinion because they're not parents which is essentiallly what you are doing whether you realise that or not. Have an opinion, but give others that same right. That's all I'm saying. Having children doesn't give you a supreme knowledge of law or ethics so who are you to tell other people that they don't understand when we're debating this. You can't exclude people from that.

Just because I'm a mod doesn't mean I'm not entitled to an opinion, I'm not breaking any rules here, I've not attacked you personally so stop trying to make me out to be the bad guys here, It's just taking away from any arguments you do have as you can't argue a point without getting personal with other members.

Who am I trying to silence?I said(once again)you cannot know how you would feel if it was your child if you have none!people can have what opinions they like,I do not profess to have supreme knowledge,but I DO have knowledge,I wish I didn't but I do,so I can and will voice my opinion,i have never said i wanted capital punishment,WHY do you keep quoting things I have never said?Who have I been personal to that havent been personal to me?
