[quote]I see the difference between accidental death and murder. But I think motive in murder is of little consequence, if it is indeed murder.[/quote]So all murder is equally bad, to you?

Right. I mean I do understand what you are saying, but it seems like splitting hairs.

[quote]Right.

It seems to me that murder should be punished as murder regardless of how or why it was committed. Deciding which murder is more heinous is tedious and pointless.

If you were part of a minority that was at a higher risk of being murdered due to skin colour or sexuality, it would probably seem quite important.

Edited by beowulf 678: 11/24/2015 6:09:08 AMHow about we stop dealing in "ifs" and emotions, and use facts instead? Tell me: Why is motivation and/or means a deciding factor in how heinous a crime is? If a human life was taken then a punishment should be imposed. Period.

Really? Is that your best retort? By dealing in "ifs" I meant not using fairy tales to decide this argument. People die every day, but I am not going to change races or sexuality.

Yeah I just can't be bothered to explain something really obvious.
