Debate: Do you agree with the Death Penalty?
Side: No this is wrong.

Yeah, so since you are so full of hatred and sadism yourselfI'm a sadist for calling you despicable for wanting to murder someone? Right... I think you would love to just let him walk away, free as a bird. You'd love that, huh?Even if I wanted him to walk away, how is that sadist?And no, a murderer getting away is very, very bad. We should keep them locked up for life. Not once have I said I wanted them to be let go. The funny part about your side is it's OK if someone else has to sacrifice as long as it isn't you; but if it is you then OOOOHHH NO! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!Okay, let me try and understand this.So I think it's okay for someone to sacrifice themselves? Frankly, if the person thought it was worth making the sacrifice, then yes, I would agree with them. But how does that pertain to this topic? Are you implying that I think it's okay for people to sacrifice themselves to a murder? Because that's not sacrifice. 'Sacrifice' implies to give something up of yours, expecting that something good will come of it eventually, even if giving it up was tough. Murder's murdering people is not murder's sacrificing people. And since sacrifice is intentional, murder would not be the crime being committed by the killer; assisted suicide would.As for the second half of the incoherent statement you made: what exactly am I supposed to be sacrificing and for what purpose am I supposed to make the sacrifice? Because last I checked, I'm not sacrificing anything but brain cells by replying to you.You can't just assume the death penalty is a crime.I'm not assuming anything. The only difference between the death penalty and murder is that the government says it's okay to kill the criminal. Okay. Then why is murder illegal if the purpose of that law is to stop people from killing each other, except that if they succeed in killing someone, we act just a violent and kill them?Saying the death penalty is a justified method of punishment for a crime just because the criminal is a killer himself is a completely contrived reason. All that 'justification' is, is an excuse for people to be violent, except with the law on their side... because apparently violence and killing is better when it's lawful? Are you joking with me?You can attempt say I'm being illogical, but you have yet to explain why the death penalty is preferable to imprisonment. All you have been doing is insulting my argument, not actually providing an argument of your own. Why should we kill people just because they're killers? Why is that not a completely contrived, arbitrary excuse to act just as bad as the criminal?Yeah, that's sure teaching him a lesson.He's being taught a lesson by having no freedom the rest of his days. That's the point. We are taking his life away without actually taking it away. We are showing him that we can punish him without being barbaric and violent. He will never be able to do anything freely except think freely to himself. Imprisonment has the same outcome as if we were to kill someone.The difference is that we are not stooping to the level of the criminal by committing an act that our laws are supposedly supposed to stop us from doing. And all for what? Self righteousness? To send a message to other criminals? Is that why you believe in killing someone for an utterly contrived reason?
