Originally posted by Eisenschwarz: Hmm, Ignoring you dodging, Can you justify killing someone for killing someone else? It seems awfully like “you hit me, Me hit you” to me, I mean surely We as compassionate civilised people should try to extend the hand of mercy and redemption to this person, After all, It’s what supposedly makes us civilised right? Just because I told you I wasn't interesting in discussing the death penalty doesn't mean I'm dodging you. It means I'm not interested, but to insinuate that seems like flamebait based on the recent string of examples you've pointed out. I could post my thoughts and argue them with you on capital punishment, but why would I want to? You don't seem interested in sharing ideas, you seem to be out for an argument. I've heard lots of good discussions about the right to life, and I doubt you could tell me anything I haven't heard before. Hmm, Well I’ve seen people die if that counts, Both from a Brain tumour and in a car accident. And From what I saw, I would wish death on no one. No matter the circumstances. You see, I happen to think that it’s not really our place to take life, after all, depending on what you believe, Either god gave us life and therefore It is not our place to take it or hasten it’s end. Or else you believe in The Fundamental rights of the individual and human rights, including the right to life. I've also seen people die in my personal life, and I've helped load the lifeless bodies of victims of gunshot wounds into an ambulance, getting their blood on my cloths, and listening to their families cry over their loss in the process. No death isn't pretty, but I didn't say it was, did I?. You have your opinion, and I have mine. I won't shove mine down your throat if you don't shove yours down mine. We can agree to disagree. I thought you “didn't want to turn this into a debate on the death penalty”? Feeling a bit hypocritical are we? Every heard of a rhetorical question? Do you think we should make exceptions with Human rights? If so, Can you justify this? I believe I already answered that some crimes are inconsistant with the continued life of the criminal. Another reason I'm not interested in a discuss of capital punishment with you? When you don't like my answer, you ask the same question again. That's not how ideas are exchanged. On the defensive I see, It’s flame bait and nothing more. For shame.

No need for me to be on the defensive against you Dram. You see, I'm responding to your post. Defense and response are not the same thing. Interesting that when you don't like what a person is saying you can think of nothing better to post yourself than that they're defensive, dodging, or flamebaiting.

If you think I, or anyone else, is flamebaiting, report it to the Mod Squad. There is a Report TOS button at the bottom of each post. It's their job to look into these things, not your job to make rude accusations against everyone who disagrees with you. Saying it over and over and over doesn't make it anymore true. So report it or quit saying it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
