I was doing another one of tay's surveys (ty much) and one of the questions was about the death penalty. Of the responses i saw, and my own, there was one completely for, one compeltely against, and one both sides have good arguements (that was me :-p). When i first saw the question i found that i had a lot mroe i wanted to type, so i figured everyone would have a strong opinion on it, we'll see..

Both sides have good arguements. You can argue that no person or persons have the right to decide the fate of another, because man is fallible and emotional. Not only that, but i also personally believe that everyone, including evildoers " are capable of being truly radiant minds, its just that somewhere along the way their pathologys got screwed, something that can be fixed, i believe no matter what. So its hard to end a life knowing that if its working properly it can produce wonderful things. On the other hand If there is someone who is going to do mroe damage to the lives of others for the time that they're alive, do you as a person, or as people, make that choice of not allowing them to live.I do believe every person is capable of enlightenment regardless of their past discretions, but if they're going to do more harm then good (in a very direct way I mean) then you almost owe it to all the people that would suffer needlessly. I guess the old cliche, "do you kill one to save a dozen" rings true, as long as those dozen lives would be affected in a greatly negative way, because of that one life. Even as im typing it, im still on the fence. I want to hear some other thoughts i keep rearguing the point to myself..
