btw, my previous post wasn't a personal attack as such, but I just felt that insinuating that IW members who have different opinions about capital punishment and torture are convicted felons is slightly over the top.

Crazy idea here, but maybe it would help if people stopped arguing the person and started arguing the point. Ironworks Mantras and all that, remember?
It's pretty sad when people cannot even have the decency to remain respectful and calm in a topic such as this. Rather than insulting and accusing of insult, maybe we should all remember what we all have in common: that we are outraged about this tragedy and grieve for the boy's fate. Isn't that what's really important, no matter what ideas you have about what kind of punishment should be exacted?

My goodness, I have just had an epihany - followed closely by a case of deja vu' all over again.
Allow me to officially welcome you to the forum, Eisenscwharz.......or should I just call you Dramnek! [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] I wondered where you had gotten off to.

I am not going to sort through all of that quoting and counter-quoting, but, will just say that "State-supported murder" is a fallacy. Murder is by definition illegal killing, and when there are capital punishment laws, no state-conducted execution can be considered murder, except just as common abuse. Likewise, where do you get the idea that legitimate governments do not have the right to execute people found guilty of capital offenses? Governments have reserved that right through recorded history. You may think that it is wrong, but that is merely your opinion as a private citizen. I think that the state must have the right to execute the worst criminals. But, as Groljach and Ronn have said, that is merely going back to the old capital punishment discussion, where nobody is going to change their minds. BTW, those comments about "proto-fascist" are way out of line.

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? Quote:

Or else you believe in The Fundamental rights of the individual and human rights, including the right to life. Quote:

I love the "victims don't count", save the guilty mentality. [/QUOTE]That is blatant Flamebait.[/qb][/QUOTE]No it isn't. It's the truth as I see it. You did spend your post attacking the opinions of others and saying why that piece of trash has the "right to life", but didn't have a single comment for the victims or their rights. You seem to feel it's ok to state your opinions, and I feel it's ok to state mine. I don't like yours, and you don't like mine. Oh, and I do love (in a sarcastic way, of course) the save the guilty mentality. [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QB][/QUOTE] On the defensive I see, It’s flame bait and nothing more. For shame. |
