      No. It’s killing people either way.

      Do they survive in either? Did they die of some natural disaster or disease? No. They were killed. I don’t even know why you think this is arguable unless you don’t know what ‘killed’ means.

          That has nothing to do with what I said in the first place. Whether it’s legal or not, someone killed that person. Again, I’m not sure why you’re disputing the fact that someone killed them. Do you really think ‘killed’ doesn’t apply if it’s legal? ‘Killed’ is not a legal term. You know that, right?

                  Well then I’m not sure why you’re trying to argue with me over the word ‘killing’ as if I said ‘murder,’ which I never said.

                    No, you are saying, as I recall l, that if we kill killers, then we should kill the executioner because all killing is wrong.
