The Death Penalty

In recent threads people have made comments saying that when certain criminals are cought, they should face the death penalty. So I wanted to see what you all thought about the death penalty.
Personally I am against the death penalty because at the very least its absolutly hypocritical to kill someone for killing another person. No one deserves to loose there life, and killing someone, wont bring another person back. Additionally, if you really wanted to punish someone there are probably better ways to do so. I personally would rather die, then say spend a few weeks in solitary confinment, especially knowing that I had killed or raped someone. |

life time jail, stay there until you die, and every year on your "birth day" (arival day to the jail), they come down and smack your tiny butt like hell.

| I'm against the death penalty on the grounds that I think our justice system is less than 75% accurate. If we could be 100% sure that someone was guilty, I'd have no problem with killing them (preferably in a far more economically efficient manner than is done under our current system), but since we can't be sure, I can't support a system that could potentially kill an innocent person. |

Yes! People should get life time jail, instead of the death penalty.
First of all, no man has the right to choose who should live or not. The criminal may already have broken this rule, but we are better than him/her?Right?
And, if they get life time, they'll (hopefully) stay in jail for the rest of their life. By killing them, we only do them a favour. 5that's what they want us to do...
I think... |

| justice good old mafia style ;) but if not :rolleyes: then solitary confinement for the rest of their life should do the trick :) |

3 things:
- There is already a thread for this
- This should be moved to the Political Forum (which has not been created yet)
- An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind - Mahatma Ghandi

Ok I shall weigh in on this very sensitive issue.
I believe the death penalty is warranted and should be used. Look, everyone goes on and on about how prisoners need rights and deserve to be safe but what about the victims, who speaks for them, they were killed by the person and what the prisoners should have more rights than the victims. Second of all, you cannot rehab psychopaths which feel no remorse, so what lock them up until you can let them out. Like you can release richard ramirez into society, the man cannot be rehabed, cannot function in society and what.....we are supposed to feed and clothe and let the guy live a good life in prison till he dies. I'm not for the death penalty in all cases tho because if we are unsure, i rather give someone life in prison than death penalty. I'm hated by amnesty international because of my view that prisoners should not have as many rights as they are afforded. Simply, prisoners are almost celebrities....case and point....ira einhorn..dude killed his g.f and kept her body in a streamer trunk for 2 yrs and he gets arrested...out on bail.....jumps the country and goes to europe..finally caught....4 yrs in legal wranglings in france....sent back.....convicted of the crime...last week....he never got the death penalty (should have tho but that is another story).....everyone talks about ira this.....ira that......but what about the poor girl named Holly Maddux that he killed, she will never be alive again so in my mind....whoever says prisoner rights first....can honestly kiss my ass. If you take a life....the law should be able to take yours in a criminal procedings. |

| I support the death penalty if the person kills someone. Our jails are crowded, and no one likes to pay taxes to house people that do such acts. |

Well, i think the difference between policians and random killers is that politicians "kill" for a greater cause be it good or bad and usually, they are backed by A LOT of ppl. If ppl have a problem with that and want to punish that particular politician/leader, then theyll have to be prepared to go up against the leader's followers.
Of course, ppl still get put on trial for war crimes so yea. . . . .. |

DEATH PENALTY!!!
anybody that murders anyone else in cold blooded murder does not deserve to live themselves. Society should get rid of such ills by none other means than execution.
