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
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 $.
We're missing a variable from the equation it seems
morally its wrong to kill someone but the death penalty says its ok
I agree Jeremy
is anyone saying its ok to kill people lol ?
That was my point about justice seeking through death
is it right?
if ur for the death penalty ur saying its ok to kill people
Exactly
Even if you don't pull the switch
You don't need to do it yourself to support a criminal
Like I said, I'm ok with it if it saves more lives. But whether it does, that is debatable.
criminal killing a criminal does not make it ok
