[QUOTE="muthsera666"][QUOTE="BrainScramble05"] Why the heck did this Nietzsche copy Yoda? No one can unwillingly lose their right to live unless it is taken away from them. It's a disgusting method altogether; an attempt to reduce crimes through cruelty. It is the work of tyrants and human civilizations as a whole have progressed when extreme physical punishments were no longer acceptable. It comes out of a sadistic ingenuity to inflict pain and kill. I could never see killing your own prisoners as just. That is why I advocate that people should be kind. A large part of the world doesn't need it and it can get along just fine; it just isn't necessary.sSubZerOoYou're kidding about the Yoda thing, right? The right to life is contingent upon the manner by which you treat fellow humans. It is not sadism; sadism is pain for the sake of pleasure. This is in the interest of justice. I wish that these considerations were not necessary, but until fiends such as these cease to plague the species, they must be dealt with. Kindness is all well and good, and a great ideal to live toward. I would love it if the entire world could get along, and we could respect the beliefs of others. That would make me incredibly happy. Sadly, that won't happen for a while yet, so we must live in the imperfect world, where some individuals take pleasure in raping and murdering those who have not infringed upon the perpetrator. They must be punished. Where does torture of the preson fit into justice? Justice is about order, not appeasement or retribution.. Torturing a prisoner does not solve anything in our society, and it warps are perceptions of human rights. drunk drivers who hit people arn't tied into a car or tree to hav ea car hit them, they are given time in prison.. We do not follow an eye for an eye, when we did it was dark ages. Again, it is not torture, but the just revisiting of the crime upon the criminal. Justice is about repaying for one's deeds. Drunk drivers are not the people I am discussing. Perhaps for them, prison is the best course of action. I have dealt exclusively in the realm of serial killers/rapists. I have made it abundantly clear that I do not believe every instance of homicide deserves the DS. It is not my fault if you do not completely read my arguments. We might not follow the idea of an eye for an eye exactly, but that is what the prison system is for. An eye for an eye means recompense for the crime. For low level crimes, prison is acceptable. For more extreme cases, it is not enough.
Why would anyone support the death penalty?
