So Today at work one of the guys I work with started talking about the death penalty and how it should be abolished. His argument was that since their have been pearsons who have been proven inocent years later that no one should ever be put to death. I countered and used his own argument and said with that sort of logic than why have any one in jail at all or ever punished because they might be proven not guilty at a later time. well he did not get it and thought my opinion was for no jails or punishments his brain could not figure out that I was using his lame argument and showing how ridiculas it was. I have noticed this more and more often a lot of people dont know how to debate and cant grasp argument reversal. No mater how many times I tried to explain it to this guy he did not understand this simple debate tactic and thought I was purposing the very Idea I was pointing out to be foolish. Am I the only one that experiences this? Also what are your views on this argument?
