received OT principles vs received NT principles so why not just bantz

NT is seriously overrated, the whole Jesus bit is, how do you Brits say, a bit naff? Revelations is kinda dope, but doesn't really make up for the overwhelming mediocrity of the Jesus parts. sorry that's just how I feel.

It starts off pretty well with the conception & birth & people trying to kill the magic baby, I admit it falters a bit when he is an adult and played by Sam Neill but there are some decent effects and fans of executions will find much to enjoy in the crucifixion scene

Honestly, I don't see much of a moral distinction between allowing cops to kill people in the line of duty and capital punishment.
Difficult to kill someone with a truncheon tbf.

it makes the judiciary dispensable & blurs the distinction between the actions of individuals and the actions of the state

And in the US, it seems. Esp. if the person you're killing is black.

Ditto capital punishment, of course.

not v comfortable w/ Rick Scott using an executive order to reassign a case because AG wouldn't pursue death penalty for Markeith Loyd, even if it was perfectly legal.
opinion still stands here - Loyd is a sack of shit and should die in jail but still do not support DP for this dude.

everybody I know always brings out the "why should we subsidize a life sentence's meals and room and board" and it becomes apparent few realize how much more costly it is to execute someone (besides, you're still paying for their meals for a very lengthy amount of time prior to the actual execution).
― waht, I am true black metal worrior (Neanderthal), Sunday, 19 March 2017 13:28 (seven years ago) link
I get tired of ppl justifying the expense of execution
Now where are we

would love to meet somebody whose actual reason for being pro/anti capital punishment was expense-based
― Pengest & Corsa (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 19 March 2017 14:17 (seven years ago) link
I know a few of them! More pro than anti but the "why should OUR tax dollars support a killer getting 3 meals a day".
Few people oppose it FOR the expense, that's usually just an organic retort re: the futility of that argument.

we should eliminate the NEA to offset the costs of executing people

Clearly the response to not wanting to feed a killer forever is to shorten his sentence. It works in most of the rest of the world.

'works'
― pandemic, Sunday, 19 March 2017 22:11 (seven years ago) link
Clearly the way to avoid paying for a killer to eat from public funds for too long is to remove the requirement for him to eat.

No, no, no! I have it on good authority the best way is to teach him to fish.

Problem is, if you pay them specifically to stop doing crimes, then pretty soon they'll start demanding better pay.

there's some value in ILX having over a decade of stuff that can be readily revived at any time just so I can see what a dick I was in my twenties. I'm still arrogant as all hell but wow

xp
i like the guy from what i can tell of him as a guy
but if he was just a guy as a guy id never have heard of him
ive heard of him because hes the pope
im sure hes a grand fella, for a pope
but the moral debt owed for that one issue alone worldwide would have anyone actually worthy of the mantle of representative of god on earth addressing it as an absolute priority without reference to the protection of the infrastructure of the organisation
he has no other business as pope

your scorn, valid as it is, does not touch him. he's going to be pope until he dies. if he does one thing worthy of praise, it's ok to praise him for that thing and scorn him for all else he doesn't do. this will not diminish you.
