    Glad to have it straight from the moral arbiter of the universe, someone who feels they can personally determine, from a safe distance, whether someone has forfeited their life. Otherwise Iā€™d be seriously worried the state was carrying out a horribly immoral practice that regularly results in murder of innocents in order to deliver, at best, the short-lived false victory of vengeance, for the low priceof permanently extinguishing of a human life. Which Iā€™ll remind you doesnā€™t bring back their victims.

        I know, me pointing out that the pompous way you phrased your opinion made it sound like you thought you were expounding on universal truths isnā€™t going to stop you. It wasnā€™t intended to. Maybe if you donā€™t want pushback next time, avoid the phrase ā€œhave forfeited their right to live.ā€
