No thats not what anyone is saying. Prison reform is an important aspect of the conversation. But, in the instance of a serial rapist/murderer, is rehabilitation even remotely realistic at any point? Sure, its an uncommon fringe case, but, I feel the death penalty should only be used in uncommon fringe cases. No matter what the reform, the prisoner will still have some “good” days. They’ll read an interesting book, interact with someone positively, do drugs or really enjoy a jerk session. FUCK THAT I even if 90% of the days are terrible, in a decades long sentence, thats still alot of good days. An individual like the one we are talking about deserves zero good days. In my personal opinion.

Why is life in prison any better or worse? In your opinion.

Same

So, I wholeheartedly agree with 2. Its the most reasonable and realistic argument against it in my opinion. I do have an issue with 1. Prison/incarnation will eventually become the new normal. Individuals will enjoy reading a book, making a friend, do drugs and in most cases continue criminal activity. In some cases even send information out, effectively running criminal enterprises from the inside. They wont be free, but, they won’t be as unhappy as people like to think.

Yeah I’m a mechanical/stationary engineer. I can do most of the hands on stuff too. I’m sure he could teach me a ton. Probably made a great living in those 50 years.

Unfortunately cant find an easy way to watch it in the US.

High pressure boiler systems.

I recognize the unfortunate fact that innocent people have been and will continue to be killed unjustly. I’m saying drawing a moral line between one would need to extend to the other. If it’s wrong, its wrong. The idea that you’d pick and choose who deserves it just means you’re in favor of it.

As someone who as actually been inside a coal power plant. Fucking avoid at all costs for a thousand reasons. I know coal has some industrial applications outside of electricity generation. But I have no idea who is pretending the US has any want or need for coal as a fuel. Maybe shipping it off to countries that still burn it, but, wouldn’t that just be enabling poor environmental practices?

Is there a difference between the text threads and any random thread on /pol/?

Boy if you think thats bad, wait till they find out about 4chan…

Yeaaaaaaa thats it

I mean to be fair, banning you for TEN YEARS… pretty funny.

Yeah, there was a cool show on some channel when I was a kid. Called something like “after people” it went area by area and discussed what it would look like if all humans disappeared X year to Y year.

I don’t personally see a difference in a serial rapist and a public figure like you stated. I think both should be axed, assuming dead to rights evidence of crime.

That’s not really how that works, at all.

I just dont understand that rationale. I’ve seen it among several comments here. Killing is killing, if you’ve got a moral issue with it, why be inconsistent. Wouldn’t the argument that life in prison would be worse be applicable to any person?

I don’t fully understand the rational. Is there a specific number of victims that would make them “deserve” it. Say you have a serial rapist with over a dozen victims, do they not deserve it because they aren’t an authority figure?

Yeah the mentality from many commenters seems to be that once someone is in jail for life they are effectively dead. Which just isnt true at all.
