Reply #123: So you're saying that the state can do whatever it wants, as long as it makes a law to justify it?

Now that's an absurd double standard.


Put simply, endorsement of capital punishment is inconsistent with progressive thinking. It's a barbaric, outmoded practice that has no place in a society that considers itself modern or civilized.

Offer up whatever justifications you wish, but they all amount to "I want that person to be killed."
