[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22697756]Well so is putting someone in jail for life then, don't you think?[/QUOTE]
that's a different story, and I don't believe in a life sentence UNLESS the person is truly a problem. Rehabilitation is the best thing, so is education and mental care. it doesn't just stop after the crime. Norway does the same thing and their model happens to be the best on earth

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22697802]Well I'd think that living in a cell your entire life is nearly as bad if not worse...maybe?
[editline]09:47PM[/editline]
If they can't be rehabilitated ever, which they PROBABLY CAN'T, then what's the point in letting them live?[/QUOTE]
What's the point of killing them?
[QUOTE=JDK721;22697800]it's been addressed plenty of times
at least explain why an eye for an eye IS NOT bad then[/QUOTE]
He killed a person. He deserves to experience what he put someone else through.
Jesus Christ think Barney the dinosaur.
Treat others how you want to be treated.
God, some people here are just terrible, committing a crime doesn't make you any less of a human, so why should some judge have the right to choose whether or not to end someones life?
Plus, life in prison sounds a lot worse than the death penalty.
actually rehabilitation churns out much better results the- oh wait the death penalty is fucking useless, it doesn't churn out ANY results

How so? If you really do think that is worse, why don't you support that?

Getting them out of society, or punishing them for their sins/evil-doings.
[QUOTE=thisispain;22697837]How so? If you really do think that is worse, why don't you support that?[/QUOTE]
I think I agree with that
I'd rather be shot in the head than live in prison for 60 years

What's the point of keeping them alive in jail for the rest of their lives? You might as well be killing them, dumbass.

Well, people with psychological problems like schizophrenia and all that can use medication to control their disorders. I doubt anyone is beyond rehabilitation. And the point is, we don't even try to rehabilitate, we either try to kill them, or put them in a shithole of a prison that makes them even WORSE.
[QUOTE=yodafart9;22697798]Better than death though ain't it? :)
They can't kill me because that got abolished.[/QUOTE]
uh, dude, you have never even seen anything regarding a prison, have you?
[QUOTE=thisispain;22697837]How so? If you really do think that is worse, why don't you support that?[/QUOTE]
Doesn't that make us more of animals if we allow them to be psychologically tortured their entire life (a long one too, maybe, I don't know how long inmates live on average), and physically by the other inmates and shit?
[QUOTE=yodafart9;22697858]What's the point of keeping them alive in jail for the rest of their lives? You might as well be killing them, dumbass.[/QUOTE]
because they're human fucking beings and we have no fucking right to kill them
what's the point? you're asking the fucking point of keeping a human alive?
[QUOTE=Warhol;22697866]uh, dude, you have never even seen anything regarding a prison, have you?[/QUOTE]
I've actually been to prison.
Thanks for your input, though.

As I said earlier, this shit in Norway is pretty low lol.
so norway is just as bad as the US prison system?

I agree, life sentences are ridiculous and support that people cannot be rehabiliated. How about a sentence until they're judged to be safe enough to reenter society?
[QUOTE=Warhol;22697878]because they're human fucking beings and we have no fucking right to kill them

They had no right to murder people or whatever either.

Well yes. But I never said I didn't want reform in our prisons as well.

Sometimes I don't think people deserve to be given a second chance...

Like the people I've been talking about, mass murderers and torturers.
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22697917]They had no right to murder people or whatever either.[/QUOTE]
uh, yeah, so that's why we rehabilitate them

Yeah because getting rid of murderers and torturers doesn't help society...lol

Like I said though, how many mass murderers and torturers are actually sane? You can't punish an insane person like you would a sane one. Insane people don't have free will like we do.

Refusing to rehabilitate criminals doesn't either.
And you're kidding, I'm a barbaric caveman because I don't think torturers and mass murders deserve a second chance? My god man, listen to yourself.
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22697917]They had no right to murder people or whatever either.[/QUOTE]
no one said they did
two wrongs DO NOT make a right
get that through your head

Like I said, I just don't think some people deserve a second chance. That's purely opinion, and I won't change my mind.

why are you even debating then? you're not going to change your caveman mentality so what's the point
[QUOTE=JDK721;22697989]no one said they did

There's nothing wrong with getting rid of a mass murderer/torturer unless you MAKE something wrong with it.

So you are placing yourself above other humans? That because of their actions that suddenly they are a lower being and don't deserve the right to live?
These are living, breathing people, not monsters, they weren't born thinking about how they would love to kill people and even if they did, we have the responsibility as moral people to assist them.
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22697993]Like I said, I just don't think some people deserve a second chance. That's purely opinion, and I won't change my mind.[/QUOTE]
Okay but I'm just saying, people that aren't in the right frame of mind shouldn't be treated like that. Someone who has a huge schizophrenic episode and tortures and kills someone because they think they're satan or something shouldn't be treated like some cold blooded criminal who did it for money or something.
A complete and utter joke, you are literally not worth ANYONE'S time.
