but nobody questions the process because we're rigourous on it
it is supposed to be beyond reasonable doubt, but even in good systems mistakes happen
and a capital punishment is not a mistake that can be fixed
yes, that's why even in singapore, we don't dish it out regularly
people think we cane everyone or we hang every single drug trafficker we lay our hands on
that's incorrect
plus death row in the us is gendered
98% of death row inmates were male
oh
yeah, then that's the problem
we hang both genders regardless
the law is blind to gender
i'm more for not hanging anyone but i get your point of view
I think capital punishment should not be used unless for the most sinister of crimes
when its beyond a doubt
justice has to speak up for the vicitim
example, we had a serial murderer here before
chopped up his victims
into tiny pieces
not a single murder mind you
i don't believe in killing people for murder
in an eye for eye society a lot of people would be blind
the government is supposed to protect its citizens even if they are criminal and they have no right to kill them
war is state sanctioned murder
governments have every legal right to declare it
yea but it's murder of other nations' citizens
not that it's a good thing
still murder morally
the question is whether justice should be upheld
or morality
well i think morality is deeply subjective, that's why we have written laws
yes, but morality and justice goes hand in hand
laws and morality
laws are based on morality, but they are not the same thing
I'm saying they're linked and they complement one another
yes but the laws are what should be enforced
here's another problem
what happens if you commit a crime in another country
a judge can't imprison a person because they think what they did is wrong, they can only imprison people that violated the law
which has the death penalty
