hey cool, then you can request the judge for the death penalty instead of life (people have done that before). But you don't get to make that decision for other people. And to do it over your tax money? (which by the way, is a fraction that your employer steals from the value you produce for them every day)? it's a misanthropic and myopic selfish callousness; whether or not you have struggled it is a sign of insularity to ascribe your experiences to others and how it "should be", and to do it in such a transactional way is even more disturbing.
unclench your jaw and breathe friend, this is unreasonable
I can see that you haven't been through pain and helplessness at the whim of government, and that's how you think death is worse. Looks like you also believe they give us options and rights the way they tell you in school.
There are fates worse than death, you're right. But I think you would be one of the few who would prefer it to prison as it currently exists. But I think a sub point you have made is that prison is tantamount to torture, and I in some ways agree with that, which is why I say that non-rehabilitory prisons are unethical. It's also the model in the entire US.
Trapping people is evil.
Yes, I agree. Particularly when it isn't just rehabilitative and is punitive.
