Yeah I agree^

If anything because you can't ever be sure that there wasn't a mistake

I see. I personally havent even made up my mind on capital punishment yet.

Every once in a while you hear of some dude that was proven innocent after spending 50 years in jail or something

I don’t agree with capital punishment, but I can understand the reasoning behind it

Kill them and you've killed an innocent

If you kill a murderer, the amount of murderers does not change

Nobody should have the right to deprive someone else of life

So you believe that every single human being deserves the right to live?

Hmm.

I do

I understand.

It’s why I’m against abortion as well

I wouldn’t forbid it, but on a moral level I condemn it

More like we don't have the authority to kill someone in a court @MountainMan

Of course if the dude is a thret in the street its understandable to kill him

Or self defense

But how come? People like Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Ladin, Mao Zaedon, Adolf Hitler, Stalin, those damn school shooters, etc. Do they also deserve to live? Even if they have caused so much harm?

Yes

I see.

Yes, they are still human after all

The point of justice isn't revenge

It's not going to do anything

Ahhh. I see. You think like that. @Kalandros

I dont view them as humans at that point.

They're disgusting cretin.

I do not forgive their deeds, but I want to give them as person a fair chance

There is no doubt they are scum

But if you start killing people like that, you set a bad standard

Because it justifies them doing the same to you

@Ondsinet Very true. Not something I can argue against.

But even if it justifies them doing the same, it dosent change anything. Because they are still doing the murder.

And rotting the rest of your life in a dark hole is not that great probably

Meh. Swedish prison is pretty damn lit.

Which I dislike. They should be a LOT harsher.

I can’t really judge if solitary confinement is worse than death since we don’t know what death is like

Well you pay for it

But I imagine it’s pretty shitty

(for people who have commited harsher crimes like rape or murder. not people who do theft or anything)

I'm going to assume it's nothing

solitary confinement is probably pretty damn bad. but I wouldnt know.
