Boston Marathon Bombing

Yeah but it doesn't make sense... We should not give the death penalty to terrorists? I don't think "it's disrespectful" is a particularly strong argument in this scenario.
We don't have the death penalty here but if we did, if anything merited it then it would be mass murder.

Not to be rude, but you obviously aren't catching my point. I said, or typed, I never agreed with the death penalty law. Even if thousands of others were killed by the terrorist, I still don't think they should die in return for it. Maybe it was a wrong word choice to use, but that's what I think. If you don't agree, so be it, I don't need to agree with you either. But you saying tht my statement doesn't make sense is when you're wrong. To me, it makes sense, and so it makes sense, if it doesn't make sense to you, you simply don't understand. Again, none of this is supposed to be rude or offensive, but I need to make my point clear.

I do agree with you however: I believe the death penalty is a violation of basic human rights.

So is being a terrorist.

In my opinion, human rights cannot be revoked, or else they are not human rights.

If you kill someone else in a terrorist attack, you violated their most obvious human right, and therefore automatically revoked yours.

I do not believe that violating the human rights of others voids your own.

I don't really know about that.

All I know is that we need to give the guy a full tour of the American justice system, because under American law, everyone are equal. Nor do I think that he needs to be killed, but not out of sympathy for him or any anti-capital punishment sentiment, but because I'd hate to see him become a rallying cry for more terrorists.

Seriously, when these topics are made to discuss other's opinions about something terrible that happened out there in the world, I really don't understand why every little person on MLK has to come in here and post somethin 'wrong' about everybody's statement and what seems to be purposely start up an argument. You can disagree with me, don't go off on me saying I'm stupid and wrong because of that. If you didn't expect your comment to break out int an argument, you should have, and really need to watch the way you put things or do what I do: I didn't mean to sound rude or offensive to any of you, I just spoke/typed in this tone/way to make my point clear.

[DreamEater]

^ Just to make it clear, it wasn't directed towards you entirely. But if what you said breaks out into an argument, then maybe, it depends. So don't get mad at me for saying something I didn't. Not implying you were mad at me to make it clear, you didn't seem that way, if you were, my bad.

[Azdgari]

Not putting such a person to death would violate the right to live in a safer world of every human being on this planet.

Most experts agree that the death penalty does not deter violent crime. Therefor, killing rather than imprisonment would do little more than satisfy your own personal convictions about justice. Hmm hmmmmmm?

[Azdgari]

We shall agree to disagree!
