When you posted that as your answer for a thread with the title of, "What's the
most immoral thing one can do that you're not willing to tolerate?"
I would say most people find that to be immoral, at least the individuals I know and myself included.
Well, yes...but the thread wasn't called, "Post any thing you find to be immoral."
(I know some other posts were jokes. I responded to yours since it was a serious post.)
Why should I say something that is the common consensus among people. I am stating my personal opinion.
Your answer is up to you...but it appears that the one you provided isn't what you truly believe as the answer to the question posed.
And since you're also the second person to bring it up. The correct wording would have been "...deserved to die" instead of "...deserves to die". I was a bit tired when I wrote it, so thats on me. That sentence ties back into the prior sentence saying if you killed yourself as a result of your drunk driving, you deserved it. The sentence right after that also states what my belief for punishment should be, so if you believed my belief for punishment should be death thats on you.
Don't worry, I can read. lol. But you can still think someone deserves to die in a general sense without necessarily supporting that as a legal punishment. For what it's worth, I agree that drunk drivers deserve the natural consequences of their actions, including getting themselves killed in a crash.
For the jurisdiction one, partially ties back into that second point where I got my wording wrong. Though to speak on it, I was under the impression that some U.S. States still had very varied BAC limits. But from further research the State of Utah (§416a-502(1)(a)) is the only State that has a BAC limit of 0.05% for general drivers, which I mean good on them.
The point is, your opinion of whether they are "despicable pieces of shit" and so on seems to vary based on something rather arbitrary.
