Best outcome? Probably that Putin gets ousted, Russia chills out and Ukraine gets under some nuclear umbrella which grants peace longer term. And then can develop its country economy and rare earth minerals.

You think Europe should reinstate capital punishment?

Yea for me that makes it complicated. If we say ok a repeat offender of certain crime gets the death sentence. Then we have to make weird calculations about what was over the line and what not. That’s why i make it easy. Death Penalty? Nope just abolish it like most of the world already. And as i said i believe we stoop to a lower level of consciousness for killing prisoners as a society and somebody has to do the killing as a job which is also not great imo.

There will always be crime and murder in society we can’t stop that really. But imo the state/law should be held to a higher standard and not kill people by death penalty. I never said anything about forgiving. Maybe i would kill that murder guy. But imo the state should be a role model and not stoop to that level of an eye for an eye kind of thing and kill unarmed prisoners.

I think nobody deserves the death penalty. As i said it’s an ancient thing. Things like how to deal with immigration/flows of refugees i find a difficult subject. But death penalty? Easy just abolish like Europe 80-100 yrs ago.

Why is it difficult?

He’s making Ketamine look bad. And he’s taking our jobs.

I mean wasn’t Trump your guy?

Who’s to say that? Is slavery backwards? I’d say yea that’s why it was abolished. Same with death penalty.

To me it’s just that if someone supports killing prisoners it’s hard for me to take almost anything else they say seriously because it seems so backwards and ancient to me.

Ok let’s kill old people and r words too. They’re just taking our lovely finite resources.

An eye for an eye until the world is blind it’s great.

That’s what got you Trump elected and the fall of democracy imo.

To me it’s not about fair or not fair. It imo lowers us, our consciousness, whatever to a lower level when we kill unarmed people as a society imo. It makes us more vicious and backwards. Basically we’re hurting ourselves. Does it help the US to be the only western country with capital punishment? Nope it’s more violent and has more people in prison than the rest of the west it’s achieved nothing.

Yea good luck in China and Saudi Arabia.

Then go live in a country with death penalty maybe?

Yea i just feel like the God thing is a bit of an spiritual egoic trap for many. It doesn’t really matter. There’s probably no free will to choose anyway. But i feel like from what I’ve seen it was also the case for Leo that the God thing went overboard a bit.

Sure it could be. I don’t get offended by the word god but i do think it’s silly. The word imo has too much baggage and ideas attached to it and if everything is "one" then why should it be called god. Why does it even need a name at all?

How do you know that? Then why not just say "I am nothing"? Ever heard of spiritual ego?

Death penalty should be abolished anyway. It’s backwards. The US is like the only western country that still does it.

Mostly yes.

That’s why i love the ignore function on this message board. Don’t feed the trolls.
