Most of the time it cant be avoided. People want to criticise your argument with their own opinion, and of course, opinion isn't something that is necessarily easy to disprove, particularly on subjects that involve feelings like this one, and you just run around in circles arguing your point.
My main point against it was the one I said based on the law, and how it should be aimed generally, rather than at individuals. It isn't an opinion-based argument really as it is a legal principle, therefore can be much easier criticised, and yet its more solid than any opinion so less likely to be knocked down.
The death penalty is almost like double standards. You can't murder but once you have, your then free to be murdered yourself. I dont like double standards, they're generally unfair to one side.
