I was using the legal definition of murder, I am sorry! Although different states and countries have their own laws and definitions of what murder is. She did make a good point that states and countries that don't use death penalty would view death penalty as murder, the issue of calling death penal...

Murder by definition is illegal. I am going by strict definition, I am sorry! It depends on your definition. Perhaps people from countries who do not engage in “capital punishment” would be more likely to view it as murder. The point he's making is that "murder" is a legal term, not a wor...

I am on the moral dilemma when it comes to putting people with developmental delays in general to death row, even if some of them are not intellectually impaired. Also the question is about people with severe mental, behavioral or neurodevelopmental disorders, especially disorders with psychotic fe...

I would support capital punishment for the most serious offenders if there were a way to ensure that there were no errors in ending the lives of innocent people who have found themselves wrongly accused of a serious crime for whatever reason. Keeping a person in prison for decades costs the tax pay...

Many countries have inhumane laws. It doesn’t make them any more okay. I think it’s confusing (perhaps a euphemism) calling killing someone “capital punishment” although I suppose it depends on your perspective. In my opinion, “murder” is intentionally killing someone, so “capital punishment” would...

I’m strongly opposed to the death penalty even for people who are guilty and don’t have developmental disorders. It seems wrong to murder people for…murdering people. Apart from the inmate who is sentenced to death, I’m also concerned about the effect that could have on people who participate in th...

People with mental, behavioral or neurodevelopmental disorders are more likely to be victims than being perpetrators. There may be correlation between some mental, behavioral or neurodevelopmental disorders, but it's rare. The issue with the death penalty/capital punishment, mixed feelings about the...

I don't think there are many people who can claim to have never done anything they're not proud of. I've done some awful things but there's not much I can do about the past. I can only make a better future


Thanks, I still feel embarrassed though.

Chances are you were totally right to be angry and some asshat was winding you up. Society shames people who are angry, but anger is a constructive emotion if it is directed at a real source of injustice or harm. It is convenient for rulers to have a culture that shames anger, because this makes su...

I still feel very embarrassed about my anger issues in the past and talking about my dark and twisted fantasies about doing something terrible to people who made fun of me in the past. I also feel embarrassed about what I talked about in the past online, because there was police involvement as someo...
