Death Penalty

1. When I said link, I meant a link other then a search engine link (google, bing, yahoo, etc). Google is blocked on my computer, as is Bing. 2. Killing is not always wrong. It is justified (right now) to kill animals for meat, albeit I'm mostly vegan. It's justified to kill enemy soldiers in war because when the US fights in wars in the middle east and Korea, they provide freedom from the alternative, ISIS and North Korea respectively. It's also okay to execute as punishment and deterrent. 3. It's their duty to let the citizen provide goods for himself and to punish criminals for their deeds to society. 4. If you lecture him about why killing is wrong, he probably won't pay attention because criminals don't pay good attention to lectures because many of them dropped out of school. Lectures don't work for them. 5) I accept harsh punishments for evil crimes. Read bullet #2. 6. Yeah! Your a military supporter. Lets ditch this bullet point in future rounds to be more efficient. 7. Jesus preached against eye for an eye, but many New Testament preachers supported it. The difference between these supposed inconsistency is Jesus told his followers not to be vigilantic whereas the New Testament authors were saying to let the judges punish those. I have already explained why it's okay for the legal system to execute and not okay for the common person to execute. If you forgot, read bullet #7 of the last round. 8. But if a murderer has to kill someone before they get rehabilitation, then it would do almost no good in preventing future murders because almost all murders happen before a murderer goes to jail for the 1st time. The best solution would be to kill them publicly in a stadium with a consenting owner so people get the message, "Don't commit homicide". 9. Sorry that this bullet point didn't make sense. However, regardless, read bullet #2. 10. "South Africa's restorative justice need to improve." The way their punishment would improve is by killing all their murderers. Japan should count only their illegal killing because murderers don't deserve any rights and if 10,000 murderers get saved at the expense of 1 innocent person, then that would be immoral since murderers don't deserve the right to live. Even if Japan counted there executed population with their homicide rate (which they should not) then it still would be dwarfed by the homicide rate of South Africa. The Japanese homicide rate (including executions, which should not be tallied), is .62 per 100,000. The South African Homicide rate is 34.27 people per 100,000. South Africa has a homicide rate 50x higher if executions count and 100x higher if executions don't count. The death penalty saves non murderer lives, the only lives with actual value. 11. No. The bible says an eye for an eye in many passages. It would go against the beliefs of strong Christians. 13. The judge doesn't have as much anger as the victim's family. The judge is used to people being accused of murder and other crimes. They developed a tough skin that bases sentences on logic and morals. 14. Abortion is a different topic, but it should be illegal in all situations. If a woman's life is in life or death danger, there are other ways to save both lives. That's a different debate though. 15. Read bullet point #2 16. Read bullet #2 "17". These are bolding tests: B Are these words bolded? B B How about these?B B How about these?B B How about these? B
