If you support the death penalty, you support killing as revenge.

45. Dollars and cents have nothing to do with my argument

I was only responding to the weak anti death penalty claim that it is cheaper to keep them alive.

As with most issues, "statistically" and "almost certain" are terms used when supporting proof is absent from ones position. Of course the death of an innocent person is not acceptable, and if I did not have faith in our system, I would not support it.

The actions of the criminal are what determines things, not me. Your weak attempt to shift that responsibility away from the criminal and onto me, is very telling.
Their behavior is what makes them worthless to a civilized society. That is not an appeal to emotion, that is fact.

"you are explicitly granting permission to anyone who wants to kill you, as long as they can come up with some way to identify you as "sub-human"

Yeah, like raping, torturing and murdering an eleven month old baby is equal to being a terrible neighbor or not saying excuse me. Give me a break.

"You have not put forth a persuasive argument in favor of your position"

Eh. Like I really thought I would change the opinion of those who refuse to acknowledge any position other than their own.
