I have the answer to my original question anyway, deflection always gives people away. |

Death is death, it's nothingness, people don't suffer in death. They don't feel anything. I'd rather people face up to what they've done in prison and be made to live with the consequences of their choices. As for the bolded line, I don't see the relevance, I think you are just trying to downplay my argument without actually arguing against anything I've said. I never said that the topic could only be discussed from a logical angle, just that I believe it shouldn't be. You have confused my opinion for me trying to state a fact and I forgive you for that. Your last line is just a cheap shot that doesn't really make sense considering your entire argument against me is a deflection on my original post in favour of what is essentially emotional manipulation in which you are trying to force me to change my views based on a flawed emotional aspect instead of doing me the decency of arguing against what I've said from a logical perspective. If you are going to insult me then there's nothing more to say, if you wish to continue this discussion like adults then go ahead. Last edited by Tom4784; 14-12-2017 at 11:58 PM. |

What's the OP got to do with it? He was discussing whether he believes capital punishment should be brought back and said he doesn't. Whether or not he'd feel differently should a close loved one be murdered is completely irrelevant as that's not a state of mind anyone can make such a big decision rationally. |

I would say life in prison is worse punishment than the death penatly tbh.
If I was given the choice, I would chose death. Without second thought.

I asked a simple question: would you feel the same if someone you loved was the one that was murdered? It's something that intrigues me when people say they are so against CP. No need for all the faffing about, deflection and manipulation talk, just give a straight answer or ignore if you wish...

Now you can process that and understand it or continue to ignore it if you wish. |

So they can passionately want death for revenge for their loved one, but not for someone else's loved one? They only want CP when it is personal to them? Last edited by jet; 15-12-2017 at 12:21 AM. |

Re-read, his feelings on CP stress he feels emotion should have no input into deciding, therefore clearly... obviously to anyone with a modicum of reading comprehension knows he feels should a loved one of his be murdered, his emotions wouldn't produce a rational decision on the subject matter.

No,Too much to go wrong.
I am in favour of terrorists being shot on site though and life actually meaning life in prison. That way,If someone is found to be wrongfully convicted it is reversible. |

I actually feel it would be a massive backwards step, and a bit of a cop out too if I'm honest many killers try kill themselves when they're caught to escape the punishment of prison, this seems like playing into their hands and giving them what they want.

I don't agree with that terrorists being put to death as it immortalises them as martyrs who dies for the cause and they become idolised by people....let them rot in jail

For those people who think it's terribly wrong to kill someone who has inflicted fear and pain onto kids and people,and a lifetime of unhappiness for their families, but it's ok to do the very same to some animals so you can eat them, that sounds logical.
