There is a total of 0 chance that India would actively aid Russia in a war against NATO. Especially if Modi and Trump are the respective heads of state.

This is a good point and one I would explore further. However, it leaves open exceptions where the evidence is overwhelming.

And you trust the state to make that decision? Or a jury?

Currently, as far as I know, there is only one strong argument against the death penalty, and it has to do with moral proscriptions against treating the death of a person as a spectacle, which I notice nobody mentioned.

Nah I think not killing innocent people is a pretty strong argument, death being a spectacle doesn’t really matter to me- someone killing someone is much worse than the part where they post it on LiveLeak

After all, psychopathy is responsible for almost every evil you can see in the world today from famine to poverty and war.

I don’t know, I think presuming you know the reasons and effects of things has led to some pretty harmful outcomes over the years.

Why do they ask member stations to contribute financially then? And ask for funding
