Oh, that would be a well judged act. |

kill her. no use for people like that in society. i'd rather my tax dollars go towards educating & housing foster kids or something i dunno...but repeat criminals and sadistic killers. burn them all and the world will be a better, safer place. and i am not acting on emotion either. it's all about being practical if you ask me lol
it's like problem, meet solution. ok let's move on:gsmile: |

she can't help it that satan told her to get the 11 knives (1 of which was electric) and stab her family so they could all go to heaven together.
I don't think Satan would tell someone they were going to heaven... |

Thats not practical in any modern system, where there is a court system and things need to be followed. Its one of the corner stones of modern peaceful and intelligent civilizations.
The things suggested in this thread border on anarchy and to some extent sadism.
The practical is not to kill them, as that demands much more from our legal system. Decades of appeals, time spent by the victims families as they have to re-live the horrors of testifying over and over again, money spent by the state on prosecution.
It is much simpler to toss them in a cell and throw away the key. Appeals are a lot less crucial in these cases, and maybe someway of tightening or restricting appeals would work much better. |

This is why I suggested only one appeal. Today's technology allows for science to be utilized in ways never imagined when most of the legal laws were implemented. Therefore, I have more faith in our judicial system to correctly exonerate or convict those who are on trial. Allowing the one appeal would seemingly give a convicted suspect another chance at proving his/her innocence.
The annual cost per prisoner in California is $34,000. When that prisoner reaches geriatric age, that number increases $60,000 or greater. The cost of the drugs used in a lethal injection? $86 |

Wouldn't it be more cost effective then to execute people for a vast number more crimes?
Like I said though, adding or removing the people on death row will not affect the budget of a prison system in any noticable way. |

any psychiatrist will tell you that once an adult, it's very hard to make changes in the personality...especially in the ones of criminals/sadistic people.
and look i was like half serious, but only because i know it will never happen. i literally meant like take em out back and shoot them lol
life is short and no one really knows why we're here or where we go when we die...when there's people all seriously ed up who think that satan talks to them, i'm sorry but there's no time for trying to cure people like that...they're long gone already. either keep them around for science purposes or get rid of them. it's bad genetic makeup and people like that shouldn't be able to reproduce or live in society.

| Money and lawers would somehow worm its way into the system and the rich would find loopholes. Its a much better idea to rehabilitate people instead of kill them. Hell for all we know maybe after death something cool happens! Are you willing to give those murderers that chance! |

Sure he would, so that he could make them think that they were going to heaven for doing some action that would actually send them to hell. Because Satan wants to drag people down with him. |

True, but you'd have to be an idiot to believe anything Satan says :p |
