    You know, I’ve been reflecting, and I think I see the breakdown.

    I’m operating on the assumption that as a society, we generally agree that murdering people because we don’t like something they did is, by default, immoral, and requires strong justification to be deemed good and acceptable.

    I didn’t realize there were people like you around here who don’t believe that for some reason.

    Thanks for enlightening me, I guess I should edit that assumption into my parent comment so other people like you don’t get confused.

        Separately, because I’m so curious, why don’t you agree that murdering people because we don’t like something they did is, by default, immoral, and requires strong justification to be deemed good and acceptable?

            I made no such assertion

            You asked me to add it to the parent comment for people like you…

            Is the death penalty moral? It’s killing people because we don’t like something that they did. I want to know how you really feel about it.

            I’m generally not in favour of it, and would prefer isolated life without parole. But I can imagine there might be exceptional cases where I might agree with it. You?

                I don’t condone the action

                Jesus Christ, you did that whole little dog and pony show just to bust that out in the finale?

                Come on, bud. It could not be more clear that I was talking specifically about the people condoning it, and encouraging copycats to re-enact it. I’m asking them to justify to me why they feel that behaviour is good and beneficial.

                And now here you are, essentially just regurgitating my own stance back to me.

                What a disappointment.
