In this Debate




For or Against Capital Puishment (New formalish Debate)

Debate Information

Note: I accidentally used another format last time round and hence why this got forfeited fairly quickly.


My position will be arguing that the Death Penalty should be abolished. Therefore, my position is against it. Also, note that there is only a 15-minute wait before rounds.

    Postulations:
    1. To my knowledge, there is no court in the world that is based on deductive reasoning; it's all inductive which allows the possibility of the conclusion to be false, even though there may very well be strong premises to support the conclusion. As a result of this reasoning, many innocent people have been sentenced to death in the past. If it was based on deductive reasoning such as the case with mathematics then we can be assured with complete certainty that there is no possibility of the conclusion being false.
    2. We are mere mortals that have not been given any god-given right to determine the destiny of another individual.
    3. Once a supposed perpetrator has been executed that does nothing to take back what the supposed perpetrator has done.
    4. From a subjective point of view, once a the supposed perpetrator has been executed they are then at peace, while the victims continue to suffer. In this case, it could be considered that sentencing the perpetrator to death is too kind.

    Now, I await your postulations as well as a cross-examinaiton and rebuttals. Thanks.
