Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Read enough about lethal injection and I might take the bullets too. I mean given a choice.
Crazy to read it 2025 regardless.
Found this while reading "In reference to this issue, Jay Chapman, the creator of the American method, said, "It never occurred to me when we set this up that we'd have complete idiots administering the drugs""
Or we could just abolish the death penalty
Nothing is gained from a death. Not even the satisfaction of revenge or closure, as the crime doesn't undo itself. Some people may say they feel vindicated, but they are still mourning their loved one either way.
Now imagine if keeping a murderer alive enables learning why the events happened, and something is learned to help prevent other potential murders from happening. That is far more satisfying.
You are correct. My favorite argument against the death penalty is this: what if we are wrong about who committed the crime? If we were ever wrong even one time, that's indefensible and horrific. Thing is, we know we've been wrong about many criminals.
My favorite one is that we kill people who have killed, so we can show that killing people is bad.
Unfortunately there's plenty of people who are perfectly fine with that. When given evidence of it happening before, they'll go oh "it won't happen here" or "it won't happen again". How do you convince people like them that simply don't care for the value of life? Of course a number of these are also "pro-lifers".
I love how Article 3 of the declaration of human rights says
Everyone has the right to life
and then states just kill people. Like, why did we even bother to write it down?
Yeah that's
...hhh that's a problem with guns too...
I'll trust 3 idiots with guns over whoever is mixing that cocktail. Won't drown in my own fluids while being unable to yell out.
Idiots with guns are what made this nation! Lol
Yeah I'm pretty sure idiots with slaves made this country
They had guns, too.
But McMaster denied the clemency plea. No governor has ever commuted a death sentence in the state
Just admit that you are a sadistic piece of shit living in a sadistic shithole and that it's not about justice but about revenge and cruelty.
So much for the "true christians"... It's sad that hell doesn't exist. You all would be rotting there for eternity.
Jesus Christ himself famously stopped an execution and said it was wrong. And was later executed by the state.
That’s book Jesus.
Book Jesus is a dirty DEI socialist according to American conservatives. They want Fox News Jesus. The one that thinks children should go hungry and that gay people are enemies of the state. You know, real conservative values.
Honestly.. Im against the death penalty, but if you decide to go that way as a country just be honest with yourself and allow death by firing squad.
I was just about to say the same thing. I think a lot of things in society would be different if we were actually honest and actually saw the real state of things. Firing squad is humane (if you have to do the non-humane thing of killing someone in the first place) and honest.
First off, I am not a vegetarian or a vegan, but I believe we all should see and know where our meat, eggs and dairy comes from, and exactly how it is produced. I believe we would either improve the lives of those animals a lot, or reduce the consumption of animal based food.
Acting like a grotty, backward, small-minded country again.
Acting?
Don't even flyover state.
