Why would anyone support the death penalty?

The death penalty is considered to be the ultimate denial of human rights. It is the premeditated and cold-blooded killing of a human being by the state. This cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment is supposedly done in the name of justice. It violates the right to life as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Such organizations as Amnesty International opposes the death penalty in all cases without exception regardless of the nature of the crime, the characteristics of the offender, or the method used by the state to kill the prisoner.

You have a good point but i say if you take someones life on purpose, for no reason then yours should be taken. An eye for an eye as they say.TheFragcat

if you kill someone for murdering another person doesn't that make you to some degree as bad as them?

I would agree as long as it could be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, so many innocent people were killed in this country by the death penalty. I don't think it would deter criminals either, America has had the system for years and people still comit murder, rape etc.

Personally, if sombody kills people due to a mental illness, they should be locked up. After all, in a sense, it isn't thier fault.

However, the situation varies throughout the homocidal world. Say for instance, a man kills from frustration, from being humiliated or underminded. Should he be put to death for a sudden outburst of emotions that he couldn't really control? No, but he killed sombody, which is enough for him to be put in jail At least.

If sombody kills for fun, And yes, it happens, then they should definately be put to death. Why? Because they want to do what they do. It wouldnt be somthing they regret in later life, and shows they could easily do it again.

The death penalty and me are not friends. I can't make my mind up on if its a good idea or a inhumane idea. It all depends on the situation. Hope you guys agree :)

I support it. Really why let them rot in jail? Kill em off and you have one less person to feed and take care of in the slammer. Don't we kill animals that attack humans? fastesttruck

Shouldn't the law be focusing on rehabilitating criminals instead? BrainScramble05

Reabilitate this: leeveeu

I don't agree with the death penalty, either. I support years and years of mental torture, an endlessly ringing phone, an endlessly dripping tap, etc. They'll opt for the death penalty ;)_IronManDude_

FALSE. If you commit a crime. You lose a certain right and will pay for it. If we allowed everyone the freedom to do anything they wish. This world would be in ruins.

He, he... I'd imagine a completely fair world would be fairly cruel.

[QUOTE="MisterBombastic"][QUOTE="BrainScramble05"] The death penalty just doesn't seem very effiecient either. They can't be a risk for humanity if they're locked up. I'd feel better if they'd be given a chance.BrainScramble05

It violates the right to life beacuse it is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. There can never be any justification for torture or for cruel treatment.

BTW I study Law

Shouldn't the law be focusing on rehabilitating criminals instead? C'mon, it's barbaric. Is it wise to teach people not to kill... by killing them? I can't speak with raw facts on my side, but I don't think that the capital punishment lowers crime rates in general. It's a society's simplistic way of correcting its own problems, I say! BrainScramble05

[QUOTE="BrainScramble05"][QUOTE="MisterBombastic"] Some people just don't deserve to live, like this one guy (don't know his story quite well) called the iceman. Hitman for the mob, if i recall, killed around 200 people and once he shot a random person in the head with crossbow to see if it would work. Rehabilitation and "another chance" is going to work for people like this? Ileeveeu

[QUOTE="leeveeu"][QUOTE="BrainScramble05"] Maybe not. We remove every chance of knowing by killing him. I wonder, do we even want to know if he can turn into a better person? BrainScramble05

[QUOTE="BrainScramble05"][QUOTE="leeveeu"] Yes, he can turn into a better person, he could turn into a kindergarden teacher and grow flowers in the back yard. Seriously now, a person that kills over 200 rights loses this privilege, of a future.leeveeu

Oh, and I have not specified what "we should not" do when it comes to imprisoning someone.

[QUOTE="leeveeu"][QUOTE="BrainScramble05"] He doesn't lose it; we take it from him.BrainScramble05

[QUOTE="BrainScramble05"][QUOTE="leeveeu"] No, he loses it. With every right a human being has, also comes a responsability. Break the responasbility, lose the rights. The bigger the offence, the bigger the right lost. It's simple logic. Here, have this example: if a guy is caught stolen some jewels, he will go to jail. Following your logic, we should not bring him to jail, because we take his liberty right away? :lol:leeveeu

No. A man cannot unwillingly take a liberty from himself.

[QUOTE="BrainScramble05"][QUOTE="Cedmln"] ONce you kill one person, then you know how to kill another person. NEVER give these people a chance. Some of them simply won't stop. I feel better knowing they don't have the chance to do it again.Cedmln

Maybe it's hard for some to believe, but there are nations in which people can get along fine without the need of a death penalty.

Man the way some of you people think, the world would come down to shambles. And the first ones to go would be you, while us smart ones would take action.Cedmln

Now i know you guys think killing is is wrong, and yes i think so ture.

But a factor has come in, our prisons are filling up and running out of room. It very hard to change a person after what they done, but then again, why fix the broken when you can teach and protect the kids to not do the things the criminals do.

With more voliant crimes higher then ever, and since the prisons can't hold much more before being over run. Shouldn't we start Executing the most violent and insane criminals more offon that-is determine unsuitable to return back to the out side? Putting people in jail for life is a long time for one person, and nothing comes out of it beside having that spot filled for 50 years +,

I know you guys going to bash me for this, but this is after Off topic after all and this is my own opion.

sorry for spelling
