Voted : Yes, such people deserve to be executed
They are disgusting creatures.
We're talking about mutilators, mass-murderers, child-murderers, slave traders, and genocidal monsters - not decent people.
Voted : Yes, such people deserve to be executed
I would never advocate killing of the innocent, but the guilty should receive no mercy.
The world would be a lot better off.
We just need you to tell us who we should support killing.
^Nah,that was to the ballot poster.Sorry about the confusion.
I didn't tell you to support killing anyone. I asked everyone. Then I stated my position on the question. That's all.
I heard of a case for example, in which Chinese authorities tortured a Falun Gong practitioner by forcing her to watch as they tortured her toddler son. Apparently they tied him by the feet, hung him upside down, and dropped him on his head repeatedly. He died. They forced his mother to watch, and asked her "do you have inner-peace now?"
I really do think people like those torturers DESERVE to be executed. Oh, but we should forgive them, who are we to judge them? Fuck that! They took their lives from them, so we'd just be returning the fucking favour!!
To say no one deserves execution in my opinion is nonsense. We should give them a chance to think about what they did and then they'll repent? It's a lie, it's all bullshit! They don't deserve to live after what they did! People who gauge out other people's eyes, tie children up and then shoot them, force women and children in to sex slavery, direct and run attempts of genocide, etc- such people clearly don't respect life, therefore, they do not deserve life in my honest opinion!!!!!!!!!!!
To say that they don't deserve execution is to minimise the significance of the crimes that I listed.
What do you propose those responsible for genocide should get? Free food and accomodation for life off of the tax payer's money in a comfortable prison in the Hague? You call that justice! To stand up for these brutes and say no one deserves to be killed, when these disgusting creatures were the ones responsible for the murder of so many innocents?
So many people support,and with such zeal,to punish yet few have the integrity or even capacity to grasp what they support.That's why the term lynch mob exists,most people are reactionary by nature and easily misled.These types of people believe in a system that reduces the need for critical thinking because they simply refuse to apply more than any given moment requires.They are ant-like in thought and action.They rely on a standardized "News" format.The problem is that the system to punish is HIGHLY corruptable by nature.FE how many Iraqis and soldiers died and for what???Lies fed to the lynch mob.
My problem with this ballot is that it is little more than emotional rousing to act without mention of need to apply critical thinking.
I don't agree with the notion that we should look at genocide (etc) with an emotionally detached perspective.
It is perfectly okay to feel for the victims when judging on the suitable justice for the perpetrators. The idea that intellect should ignore emotion makes no sense to me. Not only does this intellectual facade have a detachment from reality- it is numbening to one's sense of morality.
We are not mere calculators- we are human beings, and having feelings is nothing to be ashamed of.
Feeling disgust and the most extreme forms of cruelty is not a bad thing. Quite the opposite I would have thought.
Critical thinking? There's right and there's wrong, it's as simple as that. Genocide is wrong. Rounding up entire communities, tying them up and killing them is wrong. Using mutilation to torture people is wrong. The only critical thinking needed is whether or not those suspected of such things are really guilty. Such concerns would and should be brought up with the right of a fair trial and hearing upon the premise of innocent until proven guilty.
But to imply or hint that we should ignore our emotions in regards to making judgements regarding the most extreme crimes against humanity? I strongly disagree.
There's nothing wrong with a healthy dose of anger. Does cruelty anger you? If so, good! One should be angry at cruelty, that is the moral response. Emotional indifference to such atrocities in the end is really quite... scary.
For example, have a look at this:
http://www.faluninfo.net/torturemethods2/
If any of you have emotional indifference to that, then I find you frightening.
"Feeling disgust and the most extreme forms of cruelty is not a bad thing. Quite the opposite I would have thought."
- What I meant to say was: Feeling disgust and ANGER AT the most extreme forms of cruelty is not a bad thing. Quite the opposite I would have thought.
