Why would I find jailing innocents for life acceptable? NOBODY in the other thread ever said that either.
You are trying to find someone to back an untenable position. You have truly won the argument - IN the Charley Sheen type Winning.
I have no idea what the Charley Sheen thing means. I'm guessing that you're claiming my logic is inconsistent and nonsensical, like that of a drug addict.
Anyways, I'm "trying to back someone into an untenable position" because the position held by Mark and others on FTL is untenable.
Lets try this again. Mark, and callers on FTL said they do not support the death penalty, in part, because it results in the killing of innocent people. Then Mark went a little further and said people who support the death penalty
support killing innocent people. That was absolutely said. Check it out.
Yet, why don't people who support prison sentences support enslaving innocent people for the rest of their lives?
You don't see a logical disconnect here? I don't know of too many more ways to write this......
If you're against the death penalty and pro life in prison, fine! More power to you. Lets have a party, invite Charley Sheen and your meth dealer. But if you say that capital punishment advocates support killing innocents, then you must claim that you support enslaving innocents.
