Exactly what Miiga said, it would be extremely hypocritical of us to kill to show killing people is wrong.
[QUOTE=Killuah;22415269]That's wrong. Usually the convicts still sit in jail for years and years and years before they get the penalty.[/QUOTE]
i understand, it's just still pointless to kill someone, even if he has been sitting in jail for years and years
Keeping them in prison is cheaper. Life sentences with no chance of parole imo.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;22415078]Isn't that exactly why you want there to be "equal crime calls for equal punishment"? Because that would make you feel better?
Juries make mistakes.[/QUOTE]
Well of course it would make me feel better. My opinion is being accepted and put into effect. That would make anyone feel good. I'm stating it in a sense of moral accomplishment. People would feel more "humane" and moral if they lower the punishment.
Oh and Juries do make mistakes. But you must recognize that juries are the people, and therefore are the most credible and fair way to judge. If you find a better way, please enlighten us.

Except it's not. One bullet costs alot less then feeding one person for the rest of his life

crimes against a country... views that can corrupt society.. those kinds of things
murdering anybody is one thing that can affect a number of people... but then murdering a president or somebody renowned affecting an entire population, those people cannot be trusted to live
[QUOTE=redstar2424;22414665]I personally think is wrong for various reasons such as the cost on the taxpayers money, take in consideration that many of the taxpayers paying for executions do not support this type of punishment[/QUOTE]
OP is probably a 12 year old idiot who doesn't know shit on the subject. Also, providing jail for them for very long periods of time cost way more than a simple lethal injection. You don't know anything about taxpayers.
And if I happened to get a choice between a life sentence or death sentence, I would choose death. It would sure beat spending the rest of your life in a hopeless shithole.
We're not your personal army, and we're not going to do your homework for you.
[QUOTE=Akayz;22415388]crimes against a country... views that can corrupt society.. those kinds of things[/QUOTE]
Do you want death penalty to be applied to people who hold certain views or am I just interpreting you wrong?
Because I hope I am.
If anything, people subject to a death sentence should get a [i]choice[/i] between jail time for life or execution.
The reason of "equal punishment" being wrong is not so much the moral superior feeling one gets when applying a less "equal" punishment but rather the fact that equal puishment is not justice.
In the end, no matter the reasons or the institution who imposes it, man or jury, murder is murder.
IS wrong, is unnatural, is against god's will but the USA is the principal promotor of it

Otherwise I could stand behind this but there is a risk for one to be threatened into choosing death sentence.

Well lets say tommorow then, the head oif the North Korean army was captured by the Americans
They wouldnt put him in the same state as the Gurney because he is too valuble to too many people.
Sometimes leaving people alive as a symbol is more powerful than Hanging them on youtube

the cost doesn't come from the execution hth

You don't think far ahead do you?
[QUOTE=Miigga;22415412]Do you want death penalty to be applied to people who hold certain views[/QUOTE]
views that corrupt a society, views that cause unjust murder and torture
I'm talking specifically middle-eastern laws here, but it is confusing to interpret
the only death penalty i would want is if someone did a ton of really really bad stuff.
@lasserbaumns so you are saying you should allow death sentence just because it costs less. Last time I checked prison is a reformatory institution
[QUOTE=Miigga;22415442]Otherwise I could stand behind this but there is a risk for one to be threatened into choosing death sentence.[/QUOTE]
I highly doubt it. And in any stem whatsoever, there will be people who try to abuse it.
[QUOTE=victormeriqui_1;22414722]No way, There's people who rape and then kill 6 year old children. They deserve to die.[/QUOTE]
Damn right, anyone who takes a innocent life should be punished with death. I'm not conservative or anything like that but it's true.
They should be exectuted live on TV in the most sadistic way possible.
>)
Nah, i think they serve the same to community when they are in prison or dead. They should be in labour camps, doing shit jobs noone wants.
Prisons give people a lot of jobs, it's a bigger industry than porn.

no, thats getting as low as them
i think we should just shoot everyone accused of a crime because it's the cheapest method,

So what if someone gets death penalty and is innocent? That's always a risk. Would the jury be excecuted?
The thought behind our law and justice systems is to show criminals what they do wrong. I thought we established that "an eye for an eye" is wrong.
[QUOTE=ImBill;22415506]i think we should just shoot everyone accused of a crime because it's the cheapest method,[/QUOTE]
You'd have to pay people to shoot them, then the guns would cost money and then you're not thinking about the ammo.
Then you have to take into account the clean up.
I am against death penalty in any situation. No matter how many bad stuff a person did, executing is wrong.
We already got enough innocent prisoners, do we start executing them now?
Someone who did evil stuff has quite some chance to die in prison anyway.
For people who cry about tax money, maybe we should execute every prisoner? No prison = no need to spend taxes on prisoners.
Eye for an eye leaves the world blind.
this made me think?
Would you rather die from being shot by the firing squad or lethal injection?
Life in prison is worse than death penalty for most people, and for those wrongly convicted life in prison is better because they still have a chance to be cleared.
