Oh? Why not?

Regardless of motives, you're still a murderer. Whether you're the criminal, the victim or the government. You kill someone you are a murderer.

I suppose so, but in one way not really. Since you are purifying a threat to society or perhaps the world. Ands thats good enough for me.

Lifetime in prison. Death only brings them peace, let them live the rest of their life in a reminder of the crimes they committed.

I suppose they can get sodomized but thats not good enough, plus the prisons are getting full anyways so we might as well dispose of them instead or torture.

You'll find that people do get killed by other prisoners. Particularly child rapists.

Can't do that. Eigth Amendment.

I am aware of that.

I'm generally against the death penalty, but I will admit, if someone killed one of my loved ones, I might kill the guy who did it myself.

But can we humans really make that judgement, of who does or doesn't deserve to die?

I dont know, but I like that idea, when they strung up Hussien in my opinion, that was a good thing, bastard did all kinds of horrible **** towards people such has gassing the kurds.

But, what does that solve? It's not like he would've had the opportunity to do it again. Why should we cross the same line?

Its solves that Hussein is dead once in for all. I am sure some people wanted him dead anyways. No one wants to live under the reign of a cruel dictator so killing him was a good thing. And his sons weren't better neither.

Probably not but his own people choose to hung him anyways. Obviously they hated him. And theres nothing wrong with that. Some people prefer criminals locked up, while others dead, its a matter of choice and depending on how serious the crime was.

But it's not a choice for us to make. The right to life is not something we can give or take away. These are unalienable rights, and in a world full of uncertainty, we need to set forth and enforce these as clear lines that cannot be crossed.

The death penalty isn't much of a penalty. A few seconds of pain then whatever happens next? Let them starve in a prison cell.

Yes I believe that if anyone intentionally murders another (who is inocent of the highest crimes) should be executed within a month. No good enough reason to let them live.

EDIT: OH wait. THis thread is about he death PENALTY and not the death SENTENCE!. I'm sorry.

[QUOTE="KaptainKernal"]

[QUOTE="famicommander"]No. I do believe that some people deserve death, but I don't trust the government to make that decision. It's also more costly than letting prisoners sit in prison for life. It's just not practical in any way.famicommander

How is it more costly? A couple bucks worth of some mass produced toxin or three hots and a cot for life.

You do the math.

The cost of keeping someone on death row is immense. You're forgetting the appeals process, and the cost that each appeal places on the public in the form of court costs and public defenders.

here is some citation for you

http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?did=108

It's a huge freaking waste of money if nothing else. let them rot in a ****y prison instead.

I'm against the death penalty because of the simple fact that people are involved in the process of implementing it. Humans make mistakes, no matter how careful and thorough we are. I cannot justify supporting a system that involves taking human life when the possibility of error is present.

The guilty can rot and I have no moral qualms about whether they are killed or not. I oppose the DP solely for the sake of the innocent, not the guilty.

Absolutely not. I'm going to try to avoid getting into a debate about this again, since there was one recently... but suffice it to say that the death penalty serves no purpose in its current form other than revenge. And revenge itself solves nothing at all. It is pointless and expensive, and however small the risk may be, executing an innocent person is completely unacceptable. And this has happened; people who were 'soundly' convicted have been proven innoncent years after they were murdered by the state.

No it costs more and the cultprit deserves to suffer, and there is a possibilty that the person sentenced could be innocent. I don't know how the executioners can do it.

"You killed someone, which is bad, therefore I will kill you"

Doesn't make sense to me, I'd rather see them in prison for life. Death is peace in this case, prison is punishment.
