So many arguments in here are basically "I don't like the orphan crushing machine, but I guess if we have to have it, I'd rather the machine be on the fastest setting."
There's no "execution method" argument that can exist with an anti-capital punishment opinion.
There for sure is, there’s even one in the first part of your argument
If the tactic is to outlaw it progressively then outlaw the worse methods first
If you’re trying to blanket ban it all then that isn’t what’s happening here
People recently invented a fancy thing called compromise. It means you can choose your second best preference if your first is not available.
E.g. I would preffer steak for lunch but I will take pizza over being hungry.
when saying what we ought to do, there is no need for compromise at all
Yep, sounds like US politics in a nutshell
Ah yes, compromise on your morals, just like a good ol' steak vs pizza
do you compromise your morals and throw the switch, killing only one person, or stick to your moral convictions and allow it to kill five by your inaction?
Ah yes, life imprisonment, the greatest way to empower a murderer to kill... i guess other people in prison... who should be killed.. so they wont kill each other... or...?
well actually i meant was choosing harm reduction is better than tossing your hands up and doing nothing when your ideal isn't an option but if you want to pretend that's what i meant that's fine. par for the course on this instance.
Harm reduction? You put together a poorly worded argument and want to pretend people are misconstruing what you're saying. Currently, effectively, most if not all lethal injections are on hold. Care to explain what "harm reduction" you're supporting so people "dont pretend you mean what you don't mean."
