I think, then, you are not trying hard enough.
I could certainly think of several different moral schemes that could lead to that. While I don't personally support death penalty, I do support prison sentences, in some cases, for example. That does not mean that I think that locking people up is generally fine, just as he doesn't necessarily think that killing people is generally fine. It is perfectly reasonable to view actions differently based on context.
Also, the correct course of action, when you don't understand something, is to ask the person for insight, not make your own malicious conclusions. |
Do you support locking people up as a punishment? I don't myself, I support it as a means of rehabilitation and not as punishment. Now, I guess I should have gone about other means of conversing with him, but I assume my conclusion would have rested the same.
