Murder is just another word for killing. The only difference is its legal. So executions are legal murder.

How about if we get off the tomato/tomatoe routine? It is getting tedious.
Time for a new thread.

Christ taught us at the Sermon on the Mount that heart rather than specific action dictates the nature of sin. I do not believe there is anything inherently immoral about the death penalty. However, those that cheer or find satisfaction when the death penalty has been carried out, have IMHO, committed murder in their hearts (hence it is murder), but it is not murder to those that have shed a tear in full thought of the human tragedy that has unfolded. If the death penalty is about retribution (which I believe it is to more people than not), its murder. If the death penalty is about law and order, it is not.
First off...with the crazy double negatives... "rabid anti death penalty opponent"...who are we talking about here?What if some rabid anti death penalty opponent survives a home invasion in which everybody in their family is killed but them? Would they experience a change in their believes about death penalty? Would you ever use a phrase like "slaughter of an unborn child" if you woke up in a difference life and in different circumstances? Abortion isn't all black and white... nor is the death penalty. All moral issues have grey areas. Abortion and death penalty really don't have much in common other than that.
And while you're pointing out irony and using hyperbole, let me throw this out there... I bet you're against the slaughter of unborn children, but for the slaughter of walking breathing people in handcuffs... am I right?
No, it's not just another word for killing. It's a word for a specific kind of killing.
All murder involves killing
Not all killings are murders
They are similar, they are not the same thing.
Executions are legal killings. The fact they are legal makes them unable to be murder as murder requires the killing to be illegal.
Reality regarding the definition of the word just doesn't match what you're saying
You know how all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares?
You're doing the equivalent of trying to say that a rectangle is a square, it's just an uneven sided square (which by definition would make it NOT a square)
Apparently you've never seen a dictionary. Words have meanings for a reason.
In reality the fact of it is innocent ment have been proven to be sent through death row. Executions are legal murder.

The only functions of a prison should be to seperate the bruisers from the bruised. The killers from the killed. Basically big time stuff. Any non-voilent person sounds great with certian exceptions. Like a scam artist who has stolen many lifes worths of money. (= average yearly income or something) Maybe if the person requests execution personally.
read this slow, there is no such thing as legal murder LMAO just like there is no such thing as consented rape.
play all the word games you want, definitions of certain words are not subjective and this is one of those cases.
you are free to THINK its murder but all that means is everytime you do you are factually wrong :shrug:
There is legal premeditated killings though.
