Re: The Death Penalty

Let us see if this works.

Re: My ramblings on evolution with some side-views

I have been brought to task on the distinction between nucleic acids versus amino acids and on the probablilities used to estimate the likelihood of its spontaneous creation. However, I had used it...

Re: My ramblings on evolution with some side-views

Is evolution probable? It has been speculated that the odds of an amino acid, such as thymine, being spontaneously created are one in one times ten to the power of fourteen thousand. That is a...

Re: Euthanasia, do you support it?

I am going to make a clear distinction in that euthanasia does not involve the consent of the person being killed. Assisted suicide, on the other hand, is totally dependent upon the consent of the...

Re: The Death Penalty

Devonin,

You have been asked directly to answer the question: 'If there is no doubt as to the murderer's guilt, would you accept that the death penalty is a suitable punishment for the...

Re: The Death Penalty

Ok, so the United Nations declared that everyone has the right to 'life, liberty and the security of persons.' So what? It's a nice statement but what is going to back it up? As it stands, it is a...

Re: The Death Penalty

Excuse me, but who or what decided that anyone has a right to life at all? I didn't decide that, and neither did anyone contributing to this thread. Did your neighbour give you that right? How...

No, I do not make such an arguement. I was responding to the question by Devonin "Where is your justification that marriage is necessarily super serious and important for all people?" To answer...

Re: Marriage

Devonin, allow me to take up the gauntlet that you have thrown down. One can say that marriage is important because the couple needs a licence from the government before they can get married. A...

Re: Marriage

I think also that 'settling' is dwelling on the past or on what could have been. I think most people would concede that this would be a waste of time, because it just won't be. The real question is...

Re: What defines you?

Good question!

The main problem is that there are just about as many ways to define oneself as there are people in the world. Some people define themselves by how much money they earn, others by...

Devonin,

Thank you for your reply.

You first stated a list of assumptions that I may have made. The third one being that 'equivalent doesn't mean identical.' I think you may be right, but...

Re: The Death Penalty

Therefore, Devonin, your position on the death penalty is not based on logic or critical thinking but on a belief that taking the life of another person is wrong. If that is the case then your...
