No ****, but the method n how the goal is reached and the effect it has on the individual reaching it, are completely different. And it really does your position no favors ignoring such obvious things
Your argument makes no sense.
Regardless of how you do it, it is still killing a person and the outcome is the same.
One method might be more cruel
but in the end that is not really the argument about being against the death penalty. THAT is what you fail to understand.
it makes perfect sense. You doing some type of intellectual foot stomping, akin to a child throwing a tantrum, doesn't change that
You would be ignoring method, degree, and effect. Obvious point you and mak will continue to ignore as is your usual MO
Well, no, one method is exceptionally more cruel. But yes, the level of cruelty involved is a key distinction here
What exactly do I fail to understand. You and mak are trying to equivocate two methods of execution that are worlds apart as you make an argument against capital punishment. Not only does this make you seem totally daft, but it makes it hard to take anything you say as much more than ideological hog wash. because you are showing a complete disregard for reality
Because method is a side issue to one who is against capital punishment.
I would certainly be more outraged if we practiced the same methods of execution that others might, but it does NOT change the outcome, of which I am against. The legalized killing of citizens, regardless of method or motive.
Hardly, it makes perfect sense. We are against the killing of people by our governments regardless of the reasoning and regardless of the methods used to do so. That is pretty simple and straightforward.
Try actually following context for once: The claim was that one was slightly less barbaric. Which speaks directly to method and motive
Killing people is killing people. I am anti death penalty, any way a government kills a citizen that is no longer a threat is outrageous and barbaric.

No government should kill its citizens if they are off the streets and under control. Killing them is killing them, telling yourself it is painless is great, but they are still dead. Barbaric. You are pretty funny yourself. :lamo
I do not agree with the death penalty. Why not just feed the guy to the dogs?
I dont oppose the death penalty but a lethal injection of drugs that has never been tested seems wrong.
What is the number?
hanging, the chair and firing squads have long track records. I figure hanging is the least expensive and as quick as the other two
You could just end the death penalty and you don't have to worry about it.
Why does he get to live and the mother and child don't?

The death penalty is barbaric and committing a crime does not remove his right to life. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. There is also always the fact there could be an error and it is hard to release a dead man.
Stop appealing to emotion (a tactic which appears very common).
We can never be entirely sure who is guilty and who isn't, so any criminal who is convicted (based only on reasonable doubt, as opposed to a sure-knowing, which is impossible) should not be killed.
I can invert your emotive tone by saying why should an innocent person die at the hands of an archaic and brutal practice?
Why should an innocent spend 50 years in prison and then be release after their life has been destroyed?
Because life is more precious than death.
Expect when that life is destroyed by 50 years in a prison.
The Death penalty is not a crime. Also their are crimes so evil the only punishment it forfeit of one's life. Life imprisonment means that person is has a roof, cot, three meals, and free healthcare. To me that is a more gross from of Justice. The justice system is never be perfect since we are human, but crimes like 1st degree murder the only justice that can be done is death.
