In response to "Getting you to reconsider your principles -- nm" by Roger More

I guess beating up a 2 year old is "easy". It's not like they can put up much of a fight.

Responses:

No one's saying he shouldn't be punished. But applying the death penalty to these sorts of crimes would create all sorts of issues -- nm - Roger More Oct 11, 08:12 11
- and I never said my stance on the issue has changed, so I'm not sure what the whole hulabaloo is about - znufrii Oct 11, 08:15 5
  - I realise this, and I'm not having a serious go at you. But I also thought the obvious has to be said. - Roger More Oct 11, 08:25 4

      - when it is your kid, death need not be involved. - groiny Oct 11, 08:28 2

        it does not really have to be. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 11, 08:30
- sure, but I'd bet alot of people's first thought was "that guy is a dead man if that was my kid" - Beaker Oct 11, 08:13 4

  - Sure - but taking your own revenge and wanting the state to do it are two different things - Roger More Oct 11, 08:15 2
    - sure, you kick his ass, and you end up in jail longer than he does. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 11, 08:25
    - he certainly wouldn't be beating any more 2 year olds. -- nm - Beaker Oct 11, 08:16
I think the point is that you shold already be in place and not change with the wind? -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 08:11 8
- you're confusing positions with values. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 08:16 4
  - and also confusing venting anger with changing one's position. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 08:22 3
    - True, you did say "really close to". -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 08:25 2
      - which makes it even sillier to make a thing out of it. - znufrii Oct 11, 08:28 1

- there will always be circumstances that make you reconsider a position though. Otherwise you should just join the Tea Party -- nm - Beaker Oct 11, 08:12 2

    - Agreed. I am pro death penalty. And yes, I am greatly saddened when mistakes happen, but they do not change my opinion in any way. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 08:29
heh, I tried to get your im into a post but I just couldn't hit enter -- nm - Beaker Oct 11, 08:11
