I'm not saying we should progress, but you cannot change something that allows you to survive without a proper law and order. Like I said humans will stirve for perfection but perfection can never be accomplished. Communism was a great idea on paper but human nature screwed it over big time.

But we will always have problems, there will always be murders and crime. We will never live in a perfect world, so finding perfection is like chasing a holy grail. You can improve vastly and make great strides but there will always be problems to overcome and even more after those have been dealt with. Also to clarify Sodomy is the law term of "unlawful sex" i.e rape so yeah theres nothing wrong with concentual anal sex, but thats different.

Tell me why we need the death penalty? Can you give me a real argument? The government doens't need to be part of retribution. Retribution solves nothing, rehabilitation does. you're saying "Oh fuck it, just kill them" because you're too lazy to care enough to actually want a real solution. More innocent people are killed by the death penalty than guilty. That's a fact. You're supporting it why?

[QUOTE=Mabus;24423905]Ok man, chill out for a sec, even I could see that he meant rape not consentual sex, he meant no offense whatsoever.

EX 2: Man kills woman and chops her up in a pain full inhuman way = deserves a death penalty. EX 3: Man shoots mothers killer with a gun = does not deserve a death penalty EX 4: Man shoots random man with a gun = Has to be decided. Death penalty = 100% positive that the man had a kill motive and did the crime.

[QUOTE=Warhol;24422102] So you stoop to their level. nice[/QUOTE] No because their level is killing an innocent person and destroying that person's family. The state's level would be putting to death the person who did that. No innocent person is deprived the right to live, and no family or friends are harmed in the process because even if the murderer does have a family he's already spending 20 years to life in prison which puts a damper on your family life either way. Honestly I'd rather have a dead murderer parent than one in jail for the rest of their lives.
I still can't see a point to it, it just seems dated and crude. Executions really seem unnecessary when you can leave a prisoner to rot and think about what he did and why for the rest of his life.

But what's the point of killing them? You haven't told me that yet. ? Well, 1.) Give a clear example to other to not do fucked up shit. 2.) The man has some kind of mental problem and it is better if he is put to rest. 3.) Can help clear prisons. 4.) Justice is a emotion that is felt by humans when something is done right, but look if someone does cut someone up to little pieces and does other inhumane things than does this guy really deserve a 2nd chance? 5.) How can a normal man live with himself after doing such a crime? 6.) The man knew what would happen and did it anyway. 7.) to ease the some what malice in the vistims emotions. It's better if these people who do these kind of fucked up things to be put to rest.

[editline]08:14PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Afgman;24424041]That does ease the rapists pain, and it will give a example to other rapist who will think twice before doing something wrong.[/QUOTE] Fallacy. This has been proven not to be true. So, uh. NO. It also does not always relieve the rape victims pain. It's stupid to think it does, it will in some cases, but rarely will it.
Most of those innocent people had been a death row for a long time, times before modern crime fighting technology has come out and now it is clearing a lot of them. Honestly, some of these convicted proven guilty prisoners should just be shot behind the ear Russian death penalty style. Only talking about severe offenders of course.
The benefit to lifetime prison is that you can pull them back out if you find they were put there by mistake, that's very hard to do with death penalty. So for the same result, less cost and this benefit why would you ever have someone killed over lifetime prison?
If there is irrefutable, concrete proof someone has murdered/raped someone, or if they're a convicted paedophile, I personally believe they should be killed. Same with if they're given a no bail life sentence, they're in prison until they die anyways. Some criminals can't be rehabilitated, and attempting to do such and releasing them back to the public won't do a damn thing to stop them repeating their crime. I know people don't like the idea of someone being killed, regardless of what they've done, but sometimes I feel it's needed. A death sentence, I feel, would also be a better deterrent for people who murder/rape knowing that they can get off with only a few years. If the death penalty is there, they are more likely to think about the consequences of murder/rape if it means their life, instead if 5-25 years. I know this is a controversial topic, and I'm going to be blasted AND insulted for my opinion, but not everyone will always agree on topics. I know it's not likely to change any opinions, but I hope that people can respect that someone will have a different opinion than them, and if they decide to counter said opinion and begin an argument, that they do it in a respectful manner without insults. There's no need to insult someone for disagreeing with you, because not everyone is going to share your opinion, and you should understand and respect that. Unfortunately, this last paragraph is also unlikely to change opinions, though I hope you let it sway you more than the first section of my post if you do disagree with this paragraph.
