On Capital Punishment
You are hereby sentenced to death by ___________.
Their heart is beating, we have put in the power of men to legally stop this heartbeat.
See there is a grave problem with capital punishment- it cannot be reversed!
I am having a problem comprehending this, because death is simply death, when someone dies, they are no more.
To deem what is justice and what is correct evidence based on society and state?
How do you really find a judge, who can see all sides of the box?
How do you really find a jury?
Right and wrong relative to society, place and time.
what is right is generally accepted,
How do I then know?
I guess from my experience, it is to try and block out all the effects of society and to place myself in the shoes of that person and think based on my heart, my soul is this right?
Only then will I know
Wouldn't a life sentence with no chance of parole, be sufficient to give any 'criminal' a chance to reflect on their deeds and to live in the isolation and torment of their memories.
No what is justice? A life for a life? Well there are still wars, soldiers are still trained to kill, so why not have capital punishment.
Now I am wondering, is diplomacy a farce?
