What's a subject where you have a point of view but can see the other side of it too?

45. Death Penalty

I'm opposed, and have gotten more opposed over the years as I have learned more about false confessions and the institutional biases in our system. However, I see what people are saying at least when it comes to mass murderers. I don't see much point in why the rest of us have to pay to keep Charles Manson or Timothy McVeigh (or any mass murderer) alive forever when what they did was so awful and inexcusable. It's hard to argue that point except to say I don't want be a murderer too, and that's what I am when I condone the death penalty. See, I can talk my way into either side.

Also, I don't think people who say immigrants should not get welfare are totally crazy. I mean, it would seem weird to move to a foreign country and then expect that country to start providing housing, food, and healthcare for you before you had contributed anything to it, wouldn't it? I get how that sits funny with people who aren't looking at it from a human dignity perspective. And most Americans don't look at these issues from a human dignity perspective because that's not really our political discourse.
