This seems like a classic "Either/or" logical fallacy.

Related to your dog example (from what I've read over the years), execution is not more cost effective than permanent confinement. In human society, this is mostly due to the legal costs of running a capital sentence through a lengthy appeals process.

Your original post did not mention cost effectiveness, it just asked about support for a death penalty. Regardless of cost, my stance is in the last paragraph of my original post: that permanent confinement is a more suitable punishment.

In my case, no...for two reasons.

First, you can never be 100% sure you have the right person (especially given a lengthy history of police falsifying evidence, etc., and there can always be other factors involved). If you incorrectly put someone in jail you can attempt to make amends later, but how do you make amends to a person you murdered?

Second, given how human beings have evolved and how their brains function, life in solitary would be a far worse punishment if the goal is to punish or make them suffer for their crime. If your goal isn't punishment or reform, but instead simple revenge, then I suppose this argument wouldn't carry much weight for you.

I'm in the same exact boat, but would like to offer you this:

Honest question....I've given Rumble a couple of tries. Every visit it seems super right-wing. And I don't mean conservative viewpoints with which I disagree, but full-blown conspiracy lunacy, hard-right fearmongering titles designed to enrage the conservative mind. That's all that shows up in recommended/trending when I visit. I don't have an account and pretty sure it's not tracking my preferences. Is that just what it is, or have I fallen into someone else's echo chamber somehow?

For reference, title at the top of the feed right now:

  • Why is "Conservative" Fox News Covering for Kamala
  • The Forged Biden Resignation Will Be Exposed

I can't wait for them to get rid of birthright citizenship and only too late realize that means they must leave the country.

Some redness and temporarily paralysis, but nothing permanent, unless it's hidden in my brain. Disappointed I didn't get superpowers.

Ha! "Potential"

Yeah, was fine in both cases. First time it was cloudy but not storming. Literal "bolt out of the blue" that liked me more than the large metal pole next to me. Second was trying to leave a park before the storm rolled in (obviously didn't quite make it).

Oklahoma, but different places and times of year.

No, just lucky I guess.

Yes. Witnesses figured I died each time. Temporarily paralyzed the first time and with a "missing" few seconds, knocked out cold the second time. I try to avoid thunderstorms these days.

Ouch. Hopefully they didn't actually feel that. I didn't when it happened to me, either time. Conveniently woke up later.

Doesn't it only come with a crew cab? Or have I always misunderstood what a crew cab is?
