Stone cold sober. How are your bad takes "Max?"

The fact you are claiming this is your "stone cold sober" mental state is interesting, Gullie.
Why did you dodge the question about your Satanism? What happened to your little buddy?
I have no idea what "bad takes" means, son.

How is feeding and sheltering a criminal for twenty-two years
better than just gently putting him to sleep?
At the very least, a humane nation would give him the option.
We've got a long way to go in America.
One could float a fleet of huge cruise ships
through our room for improvement.
It seems to bother me more than most
so I must be an exceptional patriot.

First, because I have no doubt that more than a few of those "criminals" were innocent. Until the system is perfected, the world's greatest democracy shouldn't be executing innocent people as the "price of doing business" and/or for economic reasons.How is feeding and sheltering a criminal for twenty-two years

Second, while I support allowing them to take the suicide option, actually killing people should be reserved for those who are actively dangerous to others. Death is peace, prison for 20+ years is Hell.

I won't go into the "euthanasia isn't execution" schtick because I
assume you already know that
and you just didn't feel the need to go into detail
after so many discussions on the subject.
It always boils down to the same thing, doesn't it?
If I can't be CERTAIN that guilt actually exists,
I will be more likely than you
to seek alternatives to punishment.
As I can't be certain that free will even exists,
then I obviously can't be certain that guilt exists.
I don't think in biblical terms.
I'm not wired for that, genetically.
Rather than concern myself with "justice,"
I always prefer the most expedient and least judgmental solution.
I'm also Sicilian as you know.
We as a people believe that vengeance is a personal responsibility,
not a responsibility of the state.
The state's job is to expediently solve the problem.
If we have an emotional need to "get even,"
that's our own responsibility.
That's the cultural rather than scientific perspective
for us.

Agreed execution and euthanasia are not the same just like suicide and euthanasia are not the same. It's one thing to kill or help kill someone, even if they are willing. It's another for them to do it themselves under their own volition.
