You are right. Contributing is not a requirement. I never said that it was, but I could have worded it better. It’s more the fact that she did completely unforgivable things and will obviously never be rehabbed. I’m torn on the idea, but people like her just seem like a waste of air.
Also, how does me implying that most people contribute to society make people a means to my ends? That part of your comment makes no sense. I don’t give a fuck what people do as long as they don’t mess with other people.
I don’t know if she can be rehabilitated, but one of my catch phrases is nobody is beyond redemption. I don’t know if it’s true, but I think it is an important belief. Practically, I’d rather keep a monster alive if it saves a few damaged people with some hope of reforming. I also think that cultivating a mindset of compassion does good things for me as far as how I view and treat other people.
I recognize there’s more nuance to your views, but statements like that are made all the same by people who don’t have very complicated views of things. I debated four peeps at once at work today that were in support of the death penalty, so I might be a bit biased due to that.
