View original postHow is this different that our typical debates here about politics? I don't think people should be ugly or insult people who were involved when none of us really no very little about them as people. This really isn't much different than the people who were calling for gun control after the theater shooting in Colorado. As for pointless arguments hell this hardly is a new thing around here.

As you say, I disagree. You and I get to vote for people who will change our gun laws or not, depending on locale we get to vote for judges and prosecutors too, we can also harass our congressmen. We don't get to vote on juries, we don't get to call jurors up and offer our opinions. To me discussing a criminal legal case on a private citizen is like people trying to tell a private research labs how and what they should study, its not part of the zone of democracy nor are they scientists.


View original postSorry but I really don't see how it is unethical to discuss the merits of a very controversial case. I respect that fact that you choose not to but I fail see it as an ethical issue in and of it self.

Well, I've explained my reasoning, it didn't convince you. I'm not saying you don't have a right to speak about it, nor am I saying its sick or depraved to do so, I just think its unwise and in a gray area ethically without having any benefits to justify entering that. Have at it, I won't stop you, I already have way more posts in this thread then I want to and they're all wasted. Well, not wasted, messages here are never dialogues with an audience of one after all, but of the people arguing, I've changed no minds, and I knew I wouldn't.
