Here is a puzzling thing

MissAdventure

I've no idea, but the death sentence is reviled by more or less everyone (who has posted) whenever it has come up on here.

Well I don’t me revile it, In certain circumstances I believe there should be a death penalty and I think if it was put to the general public in a referendum I think the majority would agree

You have started a very interesting philosophical discussion MissA. I am strongly opposed to capital punishment as I consider it state murder, but like many others, I would be happy to hear that one of Putin's generals has got rid of him, so I recognise the confusion of my own opinion. I prefer to see full life tariff for those guilty of the worst murders (but why is one murder worse than another I wonder?), but someone whose very existence has caused the death of thousands of people, if I saw him alone, would I kill him? I don't think I could, so shouldn't expect others to do so on my behalf. You have certainly got me thinking!

Snowberry maybe I can help, whilst I have a lot of empathy for the homeless there are many that chose that life because they don’t want / or don’t think they can conform to the rules of hostels, (no drink/drugs) there are also many who are offered flats or even have flats (I can name a few in my area) one man in particular has a flat, but prefers to stay in his tent and go to McDs for free food and Morrisons who also give him a handout He’s become quite a ‘celebrity’ with people giving him things for his tent home and hooting as they drive past not realising he has a council flat to go to There are obviously some people who have genuinely hit hard times and need help, of course they do
A refugee through usually no fault of their own is homeless and countryless and living in the direst of situations They haven’t done anything wrong many many are professional people who have been living an exemplary life style earning their money, paying their taxes and contributing to society but because of their country’s situation war torn/genocide etc etc they have no choices left

I hope that helps ……of course they aren’t English maybe that makes a difference for you ?

I thought you put forward some really good points util the last paragraph.

Totally unnecessary and not very nice.
