motherengine Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 i remember a discussion concerning what murder was. the consensus of which seemed to be that murder was the unlawful killing of a person. i just thought i would revise my views to met the full definition of the word: Murder is both a legal and a moral term, that are not always coincident. It may be legal to kill, but still murder in the moral sense. Opponents of the death penalty argue that it is simply murder by the state. Proponents of limited government argue that moral murder is never legal murder unless and until the government meets the limits and standards required of it, such as due process, proof beyond a reasonable doubt, trial by jury, appellate review, etc. wikipedia Quote
