but nobody questions the process because we're rigourous on it

2019-04-12 12:06:56 UTC  

it is supposed to be beyond reasonable doubt, but even in good systems mistakes happen

2019-04-12 12:07:07 UTC  

and a capital punishment is not a mistake that can be fixed

2019-04-12 12:07:22 UTC  

yes, that's why even in singapore, we don't dish it out regularly

2019-04-12 12:09:08 UTC  

people think we cane everyone or we hang every single drug trafficker we lay our hands on

2019-04-12 12:09:10 UTC  

that's incorrect

2019-04-12 12:09:20 UTC  

plus death row in the us is gendered

2019-04-12 12:09:29 UTC  

98% of death row inmates were male

2019-04-12 12:09:33 UTC  

oh

2019-04-12 12:09:37 UTC  

yeah, then that's the problem

2019-04-12 12:09:42 UTC  

we hang both genders regardless

2019-04-12 12:09:49 UTC  

the law is blind to gender

2019-04-12 12:10:02 UTC  

i'm more for not hanging anyone but i get your point of view

2019-04-12 12:10:25 UTC  

I think capital punishment should not be used unless for the most sinister of crimes

2019-04-12 12:10:29 UTC  

when its beyond a doubt

2019-04-12 12:11:14 UTC  

justice has to speak up for the vicitim

2019-04-12 12:12:04 UTC  

example, we had a serial murderer here before

2019-04-12 12:12:12 UTC  

chopped up his victims

2019-04-12 12:12:14 UTC  

into tiny pieces

2019-04-12 12:12:35 UTC  

not a single murder mind you

2019-04-12 12:13:23 UTC  

maybe with a single murder, a lawyer could argue to get your charge dropped down to manslaughter

2019-04-12 12:13:50 UTC  

i don't believe in killing people for murder

2019-04-12 12:14:01 UTC  

in an eye for eye society a lot of people would be blind

2019-04-12 12:14:21 UTC  

the government is supposed to protect its citizens even if they are criminal and they have no right to kill them

2019-04-12 12:14:41 UTC  

war is state sanctioned murder

2019-04-12 12:14:52 UTC  

governments have every legal right to declare it

2019-04-12 12:15:23 UTC  

yea but it's murder of other nations' citizens

2019-04-12 12:15:28 UTC  

not that it's a good thing

2019-04-12 12:15:31 UTC  

still murder morally

2019-04-12 12:15:46 UTC  

the question is whether justice should be upheld

2019-04-12 12:15:48 UTC  

or morality

2019-04-12 12:16:11 UTC  

well i think morality is deeply subjective, that's why we have written laws

2019-04-12 12:16:26 UTC  

yes, but morality and justice goes hand in hand

2019-04-12 12:16:35 UTC  

laws and morality

2019-04-12 12:16:45 UTC  

laws are based on morality, but they are not the same thing

2019-04-12 12:17:05 UTC  

I'm saying they're linked and they complement one another

2019-04-12 12:17:36 UTC  

yes but the laws are what should be enforced

2019-04-12 12:17:57 UTC  

here's another problem

2019-04-12 12:18:05 UTC  

what happens if you commit a crime in another country

2019-04-12 12:18:07 UTC  

a judge can't imprison a person because they think what they did is wrong, they can only imprison people that violated the law

2019-04-12 12:18:10 UTC  

which has the death penalty
