a) deterrence b) gives value to our lives (So I know if someone kills me, or my brother, or my mother, that they will face the correct punishment) c) it's the correct punihsment d) we don't have tax payer money going to a guy who gets sexually aroused by biting the nipples off 12 year old girls, instead our tax money is going to CHILDREN or VETERANS or PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING BUT TRYING or EDUCATION See you're thinking of this from your point of view. What if your mother was a victim of a serial killer? What if you were? It makes me nearly faint to think of my mom being murdered. |
Deterrence? Really? You think removal of the death penalty would cause a shift in deterrence? My...god...you have a lot to learn
Again, you're getting off knowing that someones life is about to end, your thinking emotionally. Epistemologically speaking it doesn't make any sense. People base way too many of their decisions off of their emotions, which in turn lead to the improper conclusion as far as morals go.
Simply saying its the correct punishment is not evidence to the fact. It just shows that you have a narrow-minded implausibility of the subject.
I'm capable of reading without capital letters as well. Your paying tax dollars no matter the circumstance, sometimes its more and sometimes it less.
I'm seeing this from an epistemological point of view, actually, which is to say that I'm looking beyond the emotion and focusing on the understanding of the way one thinks. If my mother was a victim of a serial killer then my mom would be dead...I would be enraged, sad, broken. But your asking me to put myself in a situation where you hope that I would choose to support the death penalty, maybe you should keep an open mind and look past your emotions.
Emotions are extremely bias in nature and offer less logic than a calculated decision. Just the fact that you asked me to look at it from an emotional perspective says to me that your not all that calculated and can only see this issue from your perspective.
