Death Penalty, For or Against

Against. People should not fight inhumanity with inhumanity imo.

THATS great and dandy, but yet again no proof on the claim that no white people were murdered in a major city.. This is a absurd claim if I have ever seen one.

http://www.stlrcga.org/x1832.xmlaccording to this whites make up near 80% of the population, and blacks a mere 18%..

All those are outerlying counties where almost 0 murders take place, they are 80%+ white as you said. The CITY of St.Louis, however, NOT the St.Louis COUNTY is mostly overwhelmingly black and where all the murders take place.herpderp9000

Uhh that specific population is not the county but the metro... Good try though, but if you actually read it.. You would see it mentions that with in the first few sentences.

[QUOTE="herpderp9000"][QUOTE="Engrish_Major"]St. Louis is about half white, half black...Engrish_Major

Then I really have no idea what you are talking about. St.Louis city is overwhelmingly black. Do you live there? Then you know that right when you get to Clayton, U City, St. Louis County, St. Charles county, ect, the population turns white. herpderp9000

City population - 354 thousand
Black population - 172 thousand, 48%
White population - 165 thousand, 46%

I'm for it 110%. Nothing worse than having a god damn serial killer locked up for 40+ years, at the cost of 40K (or more) a year. He or she should suffer for the actions that they commit; a cheap bullet to the head would do the trick nicely. Stevo_the_gamer

That's the best I can explain it. The census people are nuts if they think the city has that many white people. They must all be hiding.

IV A bullet to the head is suffering?TELLMEYOURLIFE

Few things!

I 110%? II Surely the court costs coming with appeals and trials are at least comparable. III Should? According to who? IV A bullet to the head is suffering?TELLMEYOURLIFE

1. Yes.
2. It's a slow process, and an expensive one. But the costs are worth it in my eyes.
3. According to me.
4. The moments before you know a bullet is coming would create more stress than anyone could ever imagine. But my ideas of suffering would conflict with the 8th amendment, sadly.

Those pesky amendments!TELLMEYOURLIFE

A Oh. B Ah. C I see. D Possibly but spending years in prison does not compare to a quick shot to the head. Also, this sadistic side of yours is kind of intriguing.TELLMEYOURLIFE

I hold no sympathy for those who commit murder or other dispicable acts against humanity. When someone holds no respect for anothers right to life, then his right to life should be forfeited by "harsh" measures.

[QUOTE="cee1gee"] what about the person who is doing the executions for the death penalty? hes also a murderer, only difference between him and the criminals is hes getting paid for itcee1gee

[QUOTE="cee1gee"][QUOTE="needled24-7"]i honestly think this is one of the stupidest arguments ever. how about i say "what about the cop that arrests a person for drug possession? now the cop is in possession of drugs, let's arrest him!"

[QUOTE="cee1gee"][QUOTE="needled24-7"]i know the example i gave was stupid, that's why i gave it, because it was saying the same thing as your argument. i know drugs don't have anything to do with murder. i was using a DIFFERENT situation using the SAME logic.

[QUOTE="cee1gee"] well a cops job isnt to murder people, if he has to kill its because hes defending himself or protecting someone else...an executioner serves no purpose in the world..we can easily just let a prisoner rot in prisonTELLMEYOURLIFE

Why? Revenge is silly.TELLMEYOURLIFE

[QUOTE="TELLMEYOURLIFE"][QUOTE="needled24-7"]but that's the thing, they don't "rot" in prison. they read, play basketball, lift weights, stuff like that. maybe if they threw them in a hole and fed them bread and water once a day, but they don't do that.
