The only difference between the two is how quickly justice is brought down
Morally speaking, I'd either kill both, or none, unless I have a pragmatic reason to differ
For example I'd kill Hitler, but not a one-time murderer, because I think pragmatism is important
I'd kill neither, and extract forced labour from them to cover expenses of imprisonment and turn a profit.
bruh haha
Or that, why not
I see nothing wrong with it
Serial killers tend not to be affected by their actions so killing them is better then letting them live as they don't regret what they did. But a single murderer is more likely to regret his one murder so life is justified
@Goddess Tyche that is also a reasonable response
Why is regret important?
Because it adds punishment
It's worse to live with what you've done then be absolved of it by death
But we can't really tell if people regret what they did or not
We can be fooled easily
True but statistically single murderers are more likely to feel regret then serial killers because of a phycological difference
Justice shouldn't be about statistics
However there are more single murderers then serial killers so if you wanted to keep prison population down then kill the murderer
Oh I'm not saying justice is but I'd rather a man live knowing what he's done then letting him be free with death
I think that would just scare innocent people of coming forward, as well as guilty ones
Doesn't seem useful
It's interesting to view the situation from all angles
Right
Anyway, I hope I was able to demonstrate the flaws of utilitarianism as I see it
Not saying we should never make utilitarian choices
-isms are dangerous
Anything taken to an extreme is dangerous
At least parlament is being suspended today
Suspended? Like, by their necks? From the streetlights?
Well guess which fake news media has been around aztec west
