On abortion?

Let people do it, I honestly don't care. Babies, especially pre-birth, are not something I get too incredibly torn up about hearing the death of. They don't have personality, they don't have life, etc. Especially when the babies mom doesn't even want it.

I mean, of course, I wouldn't look kindly on anyone killing babies, and I do consider them human, but on a scale, I weigh them less than I would even the average criminal. There is the whole "innocent beings" argument, or the "babies don't deserve to have no chance at life" but the world isn't, and never will be about what you deserve, what is fair, etc. You get what you get and you don't get upset, unless you are getting upset means you fix your problems through however you go about doing that.

2. I think capital punishment should be reserved for those unable to be psychologically... brainwashed.... into being a productive and good human being.

If you are going to continue to be criminal, to hurt people, etc. Society holds no reason to care for you in a prison, or to release you where you will do more harm. Off with the head.

I do think we should stop with the whole "if you killed you are a monster and should die" stuff, because that's not what really determines what is good or bad. A person who kills inherently bad, they were brought up to become that person, and if they can be changed, we should change them.
