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"
If not, then the costs would make not really an efficient use of our justice system
in places where the death penalty is legal are they still murdering people ?
nothing about our society is effecient
i have a friend that works for the justice system he made a program that would automate 3 things his b oss told him why would u ever automate something a human can do
so
It isn't about whether murder still occurs, of course it does. The issue is with the correlation between executions and murders
our justice system is not worried about effeciency
Well, i would believe it is something we should strive for
noone is worried about efficiency our economy is based on the more waste the better the more sick people the better the more people in jail and prisons the better economy we have
So you value utilitarian moral theory?
we should strive for it but we dont
If it protects the bottom like it's ok?
i dont think death penalty should be legal
bottom line
Astral made that point
its always about money
Not always
The root of money is emotional ties to it, yes?
Well, there has to be a balance of course. Like the private vs public prison debate
It doesn't end at the $.
