If you want me to actually critique Canadian extradition law, you'll have to educate me on what it is first, by the way. It's not in my field of knowledge.

What I can criticize is the people who compared extraditing a murderer back to America with extraditing a homosexual back to Iran. Laughably irrelevant comparison, ladies and gents.

Homosexuality is not comparable to murder by our moral standards, be us American or Canadian. These kinds of straw man arguments are not only ridiculous, but a bit disrespectful. It's why I find myself less inclined to get involved with such a discussion in the first place.

Argue the merits of your point: You disagree with capitol punishment. Don't set up a straw man.

Unsurprisingly, I am not in favor of capitol punishment myself. It accomplishes nothing, and therefore I see no logic behind it. I can understand a desire for vengeance on the part of the victims of a crime, but part of our duty as a people is to help temper those feelings and bring order to the chaos it inspires.

But that doesn't mean I have to agree with ridiculous, disrespectful arguments put forth here, right?
