For society, effectively murdering dangerous criminals, is, for all terms and purposes, cheap.
That is, if you take ethics our of the picture, but frankly, the fact that society will make mistakes, and murder innocents, is made to be a bigger issue than it is.

That the failure to execute a criminal only results in:
>the victims never fully getting closure
>The endangerment of all other inmates assuming the individual is guilty of a sex offense or violence
>The moral wrong of forcing tax payers to pay for someone who is actively harming society
>The lazy intellectualism that makes weak hearted 1st worlders to equate execution with murder.
>The long cruelty of making an inmate wait for death through natural means rather than swiftly and painlessly ending it.
>The societal ill that weak repercussions for crime result in more crime in said civilization
and those are just the ones off of my head
>Inb4 "Heuhheuh death penalty costs too much" fuck off economic need spurs invention and innovation - there are cheaper and more humane methods to end human life and we would find them.

It's not killing people that's expensive, it's t he appeals and judicial process for death row that's expensive.

Exactly how many countries today do you think have "Islamic law"?

>>2088224

Germany, France, England - and all the other Islamic countries.

Weren't they still a penal colony then?

The Pacific theater is a huge pain in the ass.

Western Pacific becomes a pain in the ass for the US to hold onto.

By the 1950s, Australia is nearly as oppressive as they are today.

>>2087560
No?

Australia got independence in 1901 and stopped receiving convict settlers in 1868. Not to mention it wasn't solely a penal colony to begin with, some Australian colonies never received convicts from Britain.

>>2087398
The US would be slightly bigger and way more of it would be barren wasteland.

Also Quebecois wouldn't exist, they'd be assimilated like Cajuns were

>>2087398
We would've been powerful enough to win WW2

>>2087418
didn't we win already tho

You could have just said PIE religion

Or maybe the Jews met a man who could perform miracles and had the arduous task of starting a new religion.

>>2087116
zoroastrianism is not a "semitic religion" and semitic is a linguistic term not a cultural one

No I think it's a chemical reaction in the brain that tells you to stick with a partner and not abandon your kids.

>>2087091
That's lust

>>2087126
Or someone mutually beneficial in general (platonic)

>>2087091
I think love is deeper than "i want to mate with that person"

As >>2087132 said, that's more like lust.

I'm surprised Orthodoxy isn't growing at a higher rate among western Christians.

Catholics are unhappy with Vaticain II and still dislike prots? Orthodoxy is here for you.

Want a more masculine, traditionalist take on Christianity that doesn't reject modern science and considers science and faith to have a rational marriage? Orthodoxy.

So many people don't know it exists or don't think about it when its perfect for today's culture.

>>2086988
>that doesn't reject modern science and considers science and faith to have a rational marriage?

Catholicism has this too tbf

>>2086955
because it has the best land

made the leap from tribe to national state to empire, built a national culture based on christian religion, had multiple contacts with other civilizations

Cause they weren't fully "black" since they had alot of semitic ties.

Accurate reflection of a meaningless universe.

Relativism has a lot of merits, especially in its willingness to explore the grey area. By itself, it's not so great, but you can only become a great thinker if you open your mind to differing viewpoints like a relativist would, and not only listen but seek to understand why someone would take a certain position.

>>2086980
Not being relativist doesn't mean being close-minded

But I don't.

Wait, if they aren't considered a promise of gold or something else precious, what are they a promise of? I'd assume labour-time, which makes the Bakunin in my brain raise an eyebrow.

>As it took less training than, say, a sword and was easy to use.
Maybe in fucking America, but in Western Europe, fencing schools literally became super fucking popular in the 18th century as the middle class increased in the continent and some gentlemen found the time to practice swordsmanship.

It was too fucking common that the smallsword became a popular fashion piece.

>>2086803
no.

not everyone was zorro when it came to sword fighting

>"fish in a barrel"
Except for the near zero air superiority and the massive airborne landings behind the lines and the heavy use of inferior Ost-legions and conscripted fanatics

>>2086764
No one was encircled on the Day landings, and the Allies had overwhelming fire superiority then on top of outnumber in the Germans 3:1.
