Debate: Do You Support or Oppose the Death Penalty?
Side: I oppose it

The right to complete privacy is a complete illusion.In today's world, that is only too true.Nudity is not sinful.Never would have said it is.The only reason privacy is necessary is if certain knowledge or information falls into the wrong hands at the wrong times.I take it you wouldn't mind being fucked up the ass with your entire family watching?However, when in the hands of the NSA, CIA, MI5, MI6, GCHQ it use put to good useHardly. The secret service and the prime minister/president having access to our emails, phone calls etc, enables them to track down terrorism and criminal activity as well as control it and prevent it.It really doesn't do much good.Even with all these ridiculous programs, the majority of would-be Islamist terrorists are still turned in by their co-religionists, rather than apprehended by intelligence derived from all these invasions of privacy.They tested their experiments for these mind control weapons on mental patientsThat somehow justifies it? Wow.in other words, on people who had low I'QsSuch people should be protected, not experimented upon.I would add a caveat that such may not always be the case. In a purely eugenic-driven society, I would not object. However, by the nature of the current socio-political climate, this is inexcusable, and I would tend to agree.  weird mentally ill murderous locked away guilty of murder!Was "to be tested upon, poked, prodded, and injected with chemicals" part of their sentence handed down lawfully by a judge presiding over a jury of the accused's peers?Yeah, I didn't think so.It's an innocent action and expressed through healthy means!Could you be any more ignorant?Innocence is the most subjective of all the terms thrown about in today's society.Governmental control is not about fun, it is about structure and organization and planning.No. Government control is about control. Plain and simple.It is a deep-seated element of the human character to desire power.No matter what spin you put on it, this remains the same.Both the government and society needs to have good control.I agree that chaos should not be allowed to reign supreme.However, we are getting to the point where totalitarian control may someday reign supreme, and that is no better.The Middle-Ground is a precarious position, difficult to find and even more difficult to maintain. America may have been there at one point, but it definitely is not there anymore.The people they tested it on deserved it.Nobody deserves it.Also, those tests were just very exaggerated cases with injurious results.While I would tend to agree that only the more severe cases get reported by our sensationalist news media, there is still the very real possibility that many similar cases remain hidden from the eyes of the public. Every now and then new information comes to light, shedding its rays upon evil deeds committed by the American government: who knows how much worse will appear next year.But, that is, at the moment, unknowable and thus moot. Still, we've plenty to work with. How about the Holmesburg Prison experiments, shall we? A doctor paid to smear dangerous chemicals on peoples' skin and observe the resultant chloracne.What about the Tuskagee Syphilis Experiment? Black men, ignorant of the reality, forced to live out their cases of syphilis until they've gone mad and died, even though effective treatment was available!What about governments all over the world who dumped nuclear waste embedded in concrete into the oceans? Many sailors became sick, while the government refused to acknowledge the once-accepted practice. Many were left to think they'd become delusional, all the while the government was simply trying to cover their own asses and deny any sort of remedial treatment to those who suffered for its crimes.Experiments on the public probably never happenedThey've admitted to simulating biological attacks all across America.they were probably conducted in tiny harmless dosesActually, massive harmless doses. But, unfortunately, not always harmless. nothing like what had happened to the pitiless prisonersYou seem to have a similar mentality to that of too many Americans: prisoners are wild animals, deserving nothing more than a piece of bread, some water, and a kick on the ass.1% of Americans are behind bars.Of these, the majority are not violent. So many thousands of people are in jail as a result of minor drug offenses. Many were set up by the government simply to fulfill quotas and to make it look like the agency is effective.Anyway, the few people that were tested with plutonium was necessary in comparison to the vital research that could be garnered from it.I'm sure you could learn a lot about the effects of bullets soaring through a human brain if you were to shoot a hundred people in the head from various distances.Think of the research! Think of the learning!I have made it my life's mission to learn as much as is humanly possible. I have spent most of my life reading books, scientific journals, etc. Yet, even as absolutely obsessed as I am with the acquisition of knowledge, I would never, ever, ever condone an act of violence against another human being merely in the name of the advancement of learning.From this mind controlling research, millions of lives could be saved, so the experiments were worth it.You mean, millions of lives could be controlled.'cause, y'know, that's kinda the whole thing about mind control.The site that you had just provided says nothing to do with plutonium being harmful in a few milligrams.Did you read it?Keep looking, you'll see where I got my quote.Were even the worthless prisonersWhy don't we just execute every single person ever so much as accused with a crime? It would seem that that would be your utopia.A few is not a specific number statisticallyI'll be sure to plead that if ever I am accused of homicide.But, your honor, I only killed ONE person! That isn't even statistically significant!exposes this claim and being baseless and possibly fraudulent.Nobody but you - not even the government, anymore - denies most of these cases of unethical human experimentation.The fact is, whether it is done on one person or on a million, it sets a dangerous precedent and illustrates the lack of consideration held by the government for human rights.The government adding poison to alcohol was to help tackle stupidity.That somehow justifies it?Stupidity causes people to excessive drink usually.Some of the smartest men in history have been drug addicts.Stupidity doesn't (always) cause people to drown their sorrows: sorrow causes people to drown their sorrows.The government was merely trying to fight stupidity by preventing idiots from making the bad decision to excessive drinking.No, they were trying to control the population by turning a blind eye to the poisoning of people who refused to capitulate to the whims of a fanatical government.Stupidity is something that is hard to tackle and the government were only doing what they could do to tackle idiocy.By this line of reasoning, would you object to the forced sterilization of all people with IQs under X points?I don't blame the government.Nor should you.You should blame the people in the government making such vile decisions.You get that feeling from your thought process of idiocy.Coming from you, this is a great compliment.swift striking tenacious bulldogHitler was swift-striking.Americans are lazy. They couldn't win Vietnam. They can barely even hold their own against terrorism. Indeed, I'd say the terrorists have won: look at all the procedures implemented out of fear that have decimated the quality of life for so many Americans!
