@donathos, oh I don't care if we disagree. I'd kill myself if the whole world was just like me. That post was just for Tyrannical, not everybody who disagrees with me.


If you think it's a deserved punishment, then that's where our disagreement is. I don't think we should justify killing of people who are defenseless. I don't see a difference between tying somebody up and shooting them or handcuffing them and giving them a lethal injection. I forget who it was, Obi Wan Kenobi or Gandalf or somebody, that said that nobody should have the power to take life unless they also have the power to give it back. I think that's a better summary of my feelings on the subject.

And for your last point about my point about hypocrisy, yeah you're right. I can't extend my argument to cover everything, including getting warrants and issuing prison sentences.

I just see an individual murdering somebody and a jury murdering somebody as equally bad and not helpful. If somebody killed my wife there's a chance I'd go nuts and try to get revenge. But I wouldn't want the government to do that for me.
