So everyone goes around murdering innocent people? A normal flaw like eating fast food too often is not equal to a flaw of murdering people for jollies.

That's a strawman argument. Obviously I'm not licensing the killing of innocent people. I'm simply saying that if we value life we can't arbitrarily determine which lives are important.

No it's not. You're saying everyone is equally fallible, and obviously that is completely incorrect because everyone doesn't go around murdering people.

Sorry, but you look like a fool arguing this point.

Fallible simply means, capable of error.
Liable to make a mistake.

If we're all equally prone to error are we really in a position to make irreversible decisions on the lives of other people?

I see what you are saying, but I'm asking you a serious, nonsarcastic question. Would you rather he be given life in prison?

So your entire argument is based on the pretense that since everyone is physically capable of murder, we should not use capital punishment on anyone? Honestly, that's the most f'd up, backwards view I've ever heard. Everyone should be responsible for their own actions, period.

I guess I respect your opinion, but I'm thrilled yours is in the minority.

You're right. We're pussies if we value life absolutely.

Yeah, I think it's pretty pussed to value the life, of a body dumping shitbag.


I feel more sorry for the chickens that colonel Sanders hangs with.

I don't give life.
So I tend to see it as much more valuable than the average person.
If I'm a pussy for that... So be it.
