      You mean the death penalty that they don’t have anymore?

          Prison is objectively more reversible too.

              What I’m saying is you can’t un-kill someone, everything else up to that point is a lot more reversible if that does end up coming into question. Now I’m not saying the whole experience isn’t going to leave its mark but there’s literally no going back once you’ve made someone dead. It’s one of the bigger issues behind the ethics of the death penalty.

                While that is a point that can be made, if you’re bringing into question the validity of the judgement of a state you have bigger problems that need to be addressed first; because it is not more ethical to torture someone that knows they’re innocent for decades in hopes a less corrupt society magically develops to save them.

      You just keep licking those murderous boots. Slurp slurp.

      The death penalty was ended in practice in Canada in January 1963 and was abolished in two stages, in 1976 and 1999.

          There is no death penalty in Canada (edit : and hasn’t been for over 60 years). What a week assed argument. Hahaha.

              Just listen to yourself defending the death penalty for your favourite authoritarian government. I’m rolling around here. Hahahaha.

                  I think you’re mistaking me for someone Canadian or American or something.

                  I just don’t like the death penalty and there isn’t one where I live.

                  You keep defending that death penalty for drugs related crimes though because you don’t want to criticise your favourite authoritarian government.

                  I’m out now o/

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
