:
Time to make my little comeback....
For a second, I thought I was going to laugh. I find it funny how you confused 'killing someone under defense' and 'killing someone under anger'. The first one is that I would try to kill that person no matter what. I don't care if he dies, I need to take care of myself. The person would go after me when he is released from jail if I do kill him. And if this person knocks out, what a perfect opprunity to just smash his head. Violent and gory yes, but guess what, my life isn't gonna be taken away at all.
Now back to vengence. My feelings on the matter has already been done before. Only a few monthes ago, I learned that my cousin died in a riot. Striking me like that, it was hard to think about that. I'm too frustrated to kill these people. Why? Because, it is useless. I don't have the money to fly to Brazil in the first place, and do you think at all that the police won't try to have me arrested.
And if you knew the person's location, don't you think you just call the police? Seems like the matter seems more suiting to do. But I guess anger takes over people's minds and possesses them to do horrible things.
You are right, some murderers don't learn. They're serial killers. Yet not every murderer is a serial killer. So why execute someone for something they could learn in hard time jail? Don't paint the sky with one color, espically when you are dealing with murderers and serial killers. But life sentence is the decision I would make with a serial killer.
Sorry for the gap and the return of ethics in killing.

Wait a moment, how did I confuse killing in self-defense and killing out of anger? Please enlighten me.
I admire your approach to the hypothetical situation. In a way, you reacted in the same manner I would, if my life was threatened. I would not hesitate to kill the individual if they were ready to kill me in the first place. I won't give anyone the pleasure of taking my life away from me. They'd have to fight me to the death for it.
My life may not be all that important, but the people
in my life are more important to me than anything, and I'll be damned if someone's going to take away the joy I get from seeing or speaking to them everyday.
True, it may be useless, but nonetheless, out of anger, you've considered killing these people in your mind. You've thought about the temporary relief that these individual's death would bring about; knowing that they would suffer for what they've done. The thoughts wouldn't change a thing, although if you
did find out that they had recently died, would you, or would you not, feel better temporarily knowing that they've been punished in some way? Even if their lives weren't taken away for that very purpose?
The police can only do so much. Even if you knew the location of a person who had murdered someone near and dear to you, it wouldn't mean that they'd have enough evidence to arrest that individual. For all you know, the person could know how to cover their tracks and escape detection, leaving any hope of the police bringing him in, gone.
When it comes to executing serial killers and murderers, all I can say is this: serial killers certainly deserve the death penalty, while murderers may or may not, depending on the situation. You see, in my opinion, if serial killers had any remorse for what they've done, they certainly would
not do it again, but seeing as how a person needs to kill three or more people to become a serial killer, I'd say that shows they are unaffected by what they've done, and will continue to be unaffected, if allowed to live. That's why most serial killers are psychopaths or sociopaths; they can kill repeatedly without caring at all. It's just the way they are. So, I believe that they should all be sentenced to death.
Murderers, on the other hand, are a different story. They kill once or twice, and may or may not feel any remorse afterwards, depending on who we're dealing with. In their case, I feel that they should be evaluated psychologically, in order to determine whether or not they fall into the two categories previously mentioned. If they do, they should just be put to death, in my opinion, since the chances of them changing in prison are close to nil. And if they don't, then they should live out their prison sentence, and eventually be released. If feel that the people who commit murder but are not psychopaths or sociopaths, either did it because they had a reason to, or because they wanted to see what it was like. So, prison would certainly make these individuals think about what they've done, and as a result, make them regret it for the rest of their lives. That way, justice, in a way, would be served.
And it isn't a problem. I actually thought it was a shame when you didn't respond to my post awhile back, since I always enjoy discussing and debating this topic with people, sick as it may be. I'm just glad that the debate and exchange of opinions may now continue
