Death Penalty, For or Against

So are you for it or against it. Im all for it, there are some sick people in this world you shouldnt be alive (Im sorry but its true) so I feel if they killed someone they should die too, you know an eye for an eye type thing!!!!!

Zyrokin

the one that cost less.

Against. Remember the saying: an eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind.

Against. Cost too much and its not a deterrent. wstfld

Morally, unopposed. Pragmatically, uncertain of its effectiveness. So, undecided.

Solidly against. The "eye for an eye" thing dates back to primitave tribes who believed that a cold sore was a sign that their deity was angry with that person. Time to move past that.

For if you can truly prove it. Obviously if you have doubt then you keep them on a sort of death row setup until evidence is produced that cures the doubts. At some point you have to draw the line and say that these people aren't worth rehabilitating the same way you take a patient off life support. However at the level of proof required they'd probably be killed be SWAT well before they reached a courtroom. [QUOTE="wstfld"]Against. Cost too much and its not a deterrent. markop2003

The thing is, however, if you have some doubt then they shouldn't even be in prison in the first place. Our system isn't meant to punish those who are "probably guilty". It's suppose to punish those who's guilt is established beyond all reasonable doubt.

I guess I should have said if they did do it and they knew what they was doing not if it was a mistake or something like that

For, pop a round and get it done, if someone kills he ought to be killed its expensive keeping this inmate at 40k a year.

I am for the death penalty in cases where there is no doubt of the person's guilt. I also think ,in such cases, the death penalty should be administered quickly and there should not be any way to draw out the sentencing through appeals.

I'm against it in all but the most extreme cases.

Again, presumably there is no doubt period, otherwise there is no conviction. That's the way our system is set up to work. Yet year after year people are released from prison after it having been discovered that they actually were innocent all along.

Theokhoth

Yes there is

Opposed to it in any circumstance whatsoever.

For if there is unquestionable proof of the person's guilt.

Im pretty sure it cost more for the government to kill a person.

For or against? How about neither?

For in certain cases.

[QUOTE="UnknownSniper65"]

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"] So anyone who could possibly be innocent (there's no such thing as "no doubt" of the person's guilt) would have no way of appealing for his life.Theokhoth

Yes there is

Plenty of people have commited crimes in full view of the public or cameras. In that case there is no doubt in a practical sense that they have commited the crime. Dozens of people saw them do it or they were caught on camera.

If you're going to split hairs on this argument then we have nothing to discuss.
