    Eh, I said what I said when my emotions were high on this. Still against the death penalty though.

      If you are for the death penalty when your emotions are high, you are for the death penalty period. People who are against the death penalty don’t go on the record in support of the death penalty, because it’s a principle, not something that you only stand for when it is convenient for you.

      If the death of an animal is enough to make you flip, you’re probably going to side with most death sentences since they relate to the murder of human beings.

      Someone could murder members of my family, and I would still be against the death penalty, because that’s who I am. You’re not going to hear me calling for anyone’s death, regardless of my emotional state, because I know that doesn’t solve anything, and it is bad for our society as a whole.

        Alright man, I guess I’m a shit human being that’s not perfect and my words don’t matter because it seems that you’ve made up your mind about me as a person from one comment on the Internet.

        Want to know one of the reasons why forest fires are so bad in California? It’s because we stopped doing controlled burns and allowed places to become so overgrown and dry that the fires go out of control. (Climate change too, but not the point)

        My point being is that it’s a ridiculous stance to suggest that all life has value to society. This is simply untrue, much in the same way that Elon Musk isn’t billions of times more valuable than his employees.

        I don’t know what to say other than I’m sorry for your family. I will absolutely drop a motherfucker for threatening my family, and there isn’t a single argument you can make about that being bad for society.
