I didn't make no claim for arguements sake.

Retaliation basically

hm ok

Yes

in a way to seek revenge

for justice

You give someone the power, you support their actions

thus you support that death

Since this is institutional, it is fundamentally different.

i'm explaining why people seek the death penalty

someone asked

I'm not here to argue if it's a fundamental or personal issue

It is sorta like comparing death penalty to murder, one is institutional, based on a system with an actor after an objective trial, while another is an action done with an intent on one's whim

You can choose to answer Eva's question, or project your opinion based on my answer to her.

You always poke at my chat to people

yet you never offer true input yourself

That's honestly not a nice thing to do.

No? I hardly know you, we maybe corresponded only one other time

Exactly my point

So why poke at my answers when I don't even know you, rather than answer what was originally presented?

This is a pattern i've noticed

and not a friendly one.

Would you like to be friend or foe? This is your time to choose.

We can start anew if you'd like.

what r u g uys debating

why people seek the death penalty ?

Just his annoyance with my existence apparently?

Yeah

That was the original question

prolly cause they want to die

thats teh first thing that comes to mind

why do u think it is they ask for the death penalty

no i meant why do people want the death penalty to be legal

oh

yeah seems crazy we should be studying these people to find out what brought them to murder in the first place

the more people in prison the better the economy is

so u could study them and help the economy by not killing them

so the debate is whether the death p enalty should be legal or not

?

I believe much of it boils down to whether executions reduce murder rates, if so, a cost-benefit analysis could render the death penalty "worth it"
