We both agree on that at least....folks should say what they showed up to say....folks should listen to what they want to listen to....

Be fair, nobody likes a dumbass asking progressively more dumbass questions . Have some consideration for busy members.
Should you persist I'll consider it trolling.
I think I told you that you might enjoy yourself here. Seems to me that you are enjoying yourself...big time. So, I was correct. I don't reply to most of your posts because I think they are mostly bullshit...just comments meant to solicit responses. You enjoy the back and forth...especially if the discussion is contentious.
Some people accommodate you.
Fine.
Consider my comments what you like. Makes no difference to me.
I, like many here, think you are full of shit on many things. Like Hawk, you seem to want to say things to provoke a response...so that you can reply in ever more provocative ways.
Have a ball. Do whatever you want.
As will I.
Its all your fault.

Which all goes to show you that:You have to consider that WW2 was fought before the introduction of the United Nations and the universal laws decreed by the agreement of all its member states. One of those laws is that war is illegal. This is fact- war is illegal, ergo , all people killed in war are killed illegally- and illegal killing can be considered as murder almost everywhere.
So no- the soldiers of WW2 were not murderers according to universal laws that did not exist at the time- although the war itself was in contravention of the Kellog/Briand Peace Pact of 1928. - officially the General Treaty for Renunciation of War as an Instrument of National Policy

Also- ' Thou shalt not kill ' ain't a bad commandment- even for the ungodly.
Amen.
A. The UN is worthless.
B. That, as I have said before, the only true war crime is losing.

You used to be better Frank....what happened to you?
Ever hear of copycat crimes? High publicity kills foster more. Execution stir up the crazies. You repubs are all fired up when people are getting killed.

The US veto has certainly pushed things in that direction- but the US will not be top dog forever.

Dispute this:
"Executions and death sentences in 2021 continued to highlight the arbitrary and discriminatory application of the death penalty. Rather than representing the “worst of the worst” offenders, all but one of the eleven people executed in 2021 had one or more significant impairments, including: evidence of mental illness; brain injury, developmental brain damage, or an IQ in the intellectually disabled range; or chronic serious childhood trauma, neglect, and/or abuse. Their cases were tainted by racial bias, inadequate representation, and disproportionate sentencing. The year’s new death sentences were also badly flawed, with more than a quarter (27.8%) imposed either by non-unanimous juries or by judges after defendants waived jury sentencing or in states that denied defendants the right to a sentencing jury.
Sentences and executions disproportionately involved victims who were white and female. Once again, only defendants of color were executed for cross-racial murders and no white defendant was sentenced to death in a trial that did not involve at least one white victim. Three high-profile cases — each involving likely innocent Black men sentenced to death for killing white victims — symbolized the enduring racial injustice of the nation’s death penalty. Julius Jones and Pervis Payne were spared execution, only to be resentenced to life in prison. A Texas trial judge in a county with a history of lynchings heard extensive evidence of Rodney Reed’s innocence, then credited the testimony of a disgraced white police officer who was the likely killer over that of nearly a dozen other witnesses to recommend that Reed be denied a new trial."

Then don't announce executions. Do them quietly without publicity. Word will get out that if you commit a capital crime, you're likely to be executed without any fanfare.

Don't need to bother. Don't care. If you are committing repeated, violent crimes, particularly ones like murder and rape, I really don't care if you are "mentally impaired." You were mentally sharp enough to commit those crimes, obviously incapable of learning to not do them, and therefore nothing but a massive hazard and drag to society.Dispute this:

I also don't buy the argument that the trial had to be 110% perfect either. After all, we're not talking about a single incident or crime here. We're talking about someone who is a serial offender, repeat offender, or otherwise so heinous and violent in their crimes (note the 's') that it's damn obvious that society has had enough of them.
