Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Did killing him bring them back? No? Then what's the benefit?
It better be a pretty big fuckin benefit if you're okay with our government having the authority to kill citizens. Cuz you know, the government can totally be trusted to not abuse power and authority...
Does killing him bring back the people he killed?
Does imprisoning him? At what point does this line of thinking just reduce down to "we shouldn't punish anyone for anything"?
If you murder a murderer you're not reducing the amount of murderers.
But last time I talked to you you were advocating the poisoning of a puppy so at least you are consistent.
Who said anything about murdering him? The state cannot commit murder. There's an argument to be made that Dorsey did not deserve the death penalty (I don't think he did), but this is a dangerously reductive view.
But last time I talked to you you were misconstrueing my argument about society's responsibility to preserve its safety, so I suppose you are too.
My guy if you want to hash it out in that thread again, go there, but to recap:
An untrained, unfenced pit bull is a massive threat to both safety and property. The OP of that thread expressed legitimate concerns w/r/t both and was looking for advice on how to stop it. I gave two options, with emphasis that the most harm-reductive one be taken first. What exactly was your advice, again? That the OP spend several thousand dollars reinforcing their yard's fencing to keep their neighbor's pit out?
I gave you the advise to seek therapy if you think poisoning a puppy is the answer to any problem.
You two just enjoy arguing 🙂
This brings me back, how the fuck did you come across this?
I'm new to this whole lemmy thing. Reddit seems to have stopped people seeing my posts. I just happened on this as I was browsing through. I'm from UK. Nice to meet you maggot fart.
Hi, I had two curries for tea, and then went casino, and I started farting at the table. It was OK though, cause there was a ragged looking guy sitting next to me, and everyone thought he was the creator of the whiff. But then the dam broke, and before I had time to move, I had rivers of stinking shit all in my pants and down my legs. But it was OK, cause ragged was still there. I was winning big, so was reluctant to make a move home, but in the end the silent farts had become a thing of the past, and I was exposed as the gruesome creator of foulness. I said sorry to everyone, and threw a couple chips at each, unfortunately they were partially shitstained as I had to scratch my arsemess. I picked up my chips, and ran for the door in the hope of avoiding covering the casino floor in my leakage, but the attempt, though valiant, was ultimately in vain. I'm gonna get someone to cash my chips for me, and not go back for two years. Might be OK then. Hope you're well.
If you’re trying to link an image it isn’t working.
I just see a blank comment.

Sorry man it’s still not working.
Did you get shadow banned here too?
Hi , I think someone is word policing me.
Does 'rehabilitating' him bring them back?
He committed horrible crimes but killing someone for murdering people doesn't help.
He was off his nut on drugs. He's probably a nice fella. Are you gonna kill everyone who takes drugs? They won't wear it. There'll be war in the streets. Not his fault if he had a bad reaction. I'm sorry for the victims people though. And god rest the souls of all concerned in this mess.
