Zanothis@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Boy Scouts of America rebranding to more inclusive Scouting America3·1 year agoIf they haven’t made a public statement that they’ve stopped excluding atheists, why should anyone assume they’ve changed their policies?
Zanothis@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Three top nitrogen gas manufacturers in US bar products from use in executions1·1 year agoThe moral question is still the issue, though. The original question was asking how is it so difficult to humanely execute a human.
It’s difficult only because of the difference between execution and euthanasia. The drug companies argue that execution is inhumane and euthanasia is humane.
As a result, they have made it harder to execute people while making the process of euthanasia as painless as possible.
Zanothis@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Three top nitrogen gas manufacturers in US bar products from use in executions1·1 year agois execution of punishment or is it just a method to get rid of dangerous individuals?
It’s neither. The dangerous individuals have already been removed from society so killing them is unnecessary. And, as you’ve pointed out, a life sentence is a much better punishment so executions aren’t about punishment. It’s not a deterrent, as some advocates suggest, since the homicide rate is higher in states with the death penalty than those without.
Ultimately, the purpose of executions seems to be revenge. I think there’s more nuance than that but every time I attempt to express it I discover that I can’t do so succinctly. I sincerely apologize to anyone that might read this and feel like I’m misrepresenting their position.

Zanothis@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Black Texas student given additional suspension for loc hairstyle1·2 years agoThe principal doesn’t give a shit about the dress code beyond how it can provide a way to hurt black students. In that context it becomes obvious that they’re going to extreme lengths because they consider inflicting harm to be important.

Zanothis@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Neo-Nazi groups spew hate outside Disney World and near Orlando, officials say102·2 years agoIs being an open nazi and rallying for hate speech legal?
Yes. Any law making that illegal would be unconstitutional. They’re assholes, but until they do or say something that is part of commiting a crime they still have a right to free speech.
Not since they started forcing minors to work on it.

Given the way the GOP keeps politicizing medicine, that’ll probably be sooner rather than later.
