Let me ask you something: Do you understand the difference between something being fundamentally different versus it being incrementally (albeit significantly) worse? Because that's the distinction I'm drawing here. I don't really think you're getting that though since twice now you've just fallen back on insisting that I view the two as the same.

There is no room for "increments" between alive and dead.

"Alive" and "dead" are fundamentally different.

I disagree, at least within this context of a discussion about punishment and while you keep saying that you've yet to offer a reason.

Look, we're really just going around in circles here. I've tried to actually explain and support my view and your last three posts have been almost literally "No. You're wrong. Period." Well, obviously I can't argue with that. There's nothing of substance to respond to and at this point, further repeating my own reasoning would be pointless.

So, what's the appeals process for the death penalty in Japan? Is it as drawn-out as the process in the US?
