i dont understand in starting a thread about how the death penalty is wrong. and then by the second page admitted that killing someone for killing thier family is what they would want.
Its a pointless thread, made by a person with no point. it is a black hole of logic. even the tags agree with me.
Doesn't mean that you can't keep your calm.
I'm calm as a cucumber on a salad.
2nd time you have nothing better to say, maybe you should shut a *cough up then.Quote:

If someone says the death penalty is right you will argue they are wrong. those people dont deserve to die.
if someone kills your family you want to have them killed.
pointless discussion, with no goal created by a person wasting other peoples time. the ultimate troll.

I never ever eva neva eva actually said death penalty is wrong. Did I? Did not! Don't think I did. What I said was, chances are that execution victim does not see his own execution as a "good" thing to do.
I'm sorry, I didn't see an lolcat in your post so I didn't read it.
So what is your stance? One sentence.
I like peanut butter.

gee, this is a good thread
I think there is universal good ...and then there are just lots of people using the word 'good' inappropriately.
No matter how many positive results may flow from an action for an individual, the action cannot really be placed in the 'good' basket unless there is some more universal benefit involved.
but this is silly...I was just forced to think for a second about something irrelevant.

Bingo. Kind of pointless to discuss anything with a person who actually tries to defend their own lack of clarity. Dude may have invented a new logical fallacy...Quote:

Wait.
Did I just see you agree with silver!?
Hah! Yes.
I haven't always agreed with him on things. But, I hope it has never seemed that I was anti-silver personally. I'd give him a good referral, a beer, a ride to the airport, etc. He's cool by me.
why?Quote:

"Good" and "bad" will remain to be vague due to societal influences and measurement on those terms; therefore I believe simply that if you break society's rules to the extent you cause death, you should expect it back.
No need to expound on that. It's simple to digest as-is.
I know. That's why your argument is a fallacy known as equivocation.Quote:

You can't. As of right now, the argument you have made is a fallacy and is thus defenseless. What you should do is to think about what you mean more specifically and explain it. Then, maybe, the discussion can progress past the first step of "what in the hell are you talking about?"Quote:
