Death penalty

[Shinigami]

Would you say that the death penalty is used for deterrence? I have to write a piece of extended writing on the death penalty.

[The Don]

Yes as it stops people who need to be stopped. and if you kill someone i beleive you should be killed. there is no reason to kill someone

[BowTies1]

if there is no reason to kill someone why kill the guy who killed someone else its still killing

[benjamin]

if there is no reason to kill someone, then why kill someone who killed someone else?
if that makes sense. what you're saying is unbelievably hypocritical.

+i think that's what the guy above was saying, i dunno i didn't get his post.

[le harry]

killing is killing, two rights don't make a wrong.

So if a kid runs out to a car and it's the kids fault the driver deserved to be killed even though it's not his fault?

isn't that sort of like an accident? unless killing the child was the driver's intentions (sp?).

I don't agree with the death penalty, however in the future, it will be possible to have better proof with all this DNA and watching people from satellites, so maybe they should bring it back for a few crimes if they're 100% certain? But I'm not to sure on that, but attempted terrorism and killing more than 5 people deserve death penalty if absolutely proven in my opinion.

However it is wrong so I don't agree with it at the moment, mistakes do happen and you can't bring someone back.

The thing I do like about it, is the threat? Would people think twice? I think they might just. My dad lived in Saudi Arabia for 10 years, and you never heard of crime there, since they used to chop body parts off as punishment? Okay it's pretty inhumane and not very twenty first century, and mistakes would be made, but no one ever did anything in the first place over there? :P

It's getting a balance really.

[Yoshimitsui]

It should be used on major crimes such as murder and only when there is conclusive evidence.

[Shinigami]

people went off what i asked but it doesnt matter now anyway. +rep to good posts

i owe Rehab and yoshimitsui

But doesn't that mean you are playing god? I think that people should die naturally not intentionally, no one deserves to die. I'd rather murderers rot in jail for 20 years as this gives them time to think and regret

[BowTies1]

well you can basically answer this yourself peer preasure can be the cuase of it although it doesnt take the blame of you and how sick you are for doing mates can relaly take its toll on most of the things you do also stop and ask your self
is killing right or wrong no matter what has happend

No, get rid of it. Two wrongs dont make a right. A lot of innocent people get killed because of it. A lot of times being suck in jail is a lot worse then death anyway.

[Stephen]

I know this hasn't got to do **** all with death penalty but It sort of lays a point on the death penalty..

My mates brother is in the army and he has killed loads of people. But he killed them because they tried to kill either him or his other 'comrades' So practically he had to kill these people to stop them from killing anyone else.

All they are doing is stopping these people from doing any more harm to anyone else.

If you don't agree with me I would appreciate it if you didn't quote my post and moan because thats my point and I'm sticking with it :)

[Asher]

nah, i'd prefer them to suffer in prison.

[lew!]

Yeah, If theyre a serial killer or w.e, most people just go out there and kill again. They can put people in jail for life, which is good for the really bad people, and the death penalty should be ok for really bad crimes such as intensional murder.

[@K]

The death penalty should go to mass murders, peadofiles (sp) and rapists.

Agreed :)
An eye for an eye and all that shizzle.

[-:Undertaker:-]

Two wrongs do make a right, if your child was murdered you would want the person who killed them to be killed aswell. If you execute the scum that means we would have more prison space and wouldn't have to pay absurd amounts of money to keep these scum alive.

[Jordy]

nah, i'd prefer them to suffer in prison.You don't suffer in Jail though? You get three nice, reasonable meals a day, visits regularly, you don't have to do anything much like go to work, you actually get paid and you get to watch things like Sky Sports? I honestly do begin to think it would be a break from the real world sometimes. It's certainly not that bad at all.

Edit: Sorry I don't mean the government, I mean the tax payer! *Tuts*

[GommeInc]

I think the death penality should be used on people who commit murder more than once 1 in more than 1 instance, well, generally any crime constantly.

Paedophiles - If they rape/have sex with a child more than once then they deserve it (if they do it after release).

Murderers - If they murder after being released.

And for people who continually bash random people for no reason, deserve to be tortured.

Afterall, they may not have committed the crime and prison MAY have taught them a lesson, granted prisons aren't exactly bad places :rolleyes:

Unless prisons become a hell hole for prisoners, then the death sentence maybe the only deterant OR a hefty fine which won't work anyway.

[:Liam]

I think its not a good enough punishment I think solitary confinment is the way :) I think life sentences should be increased to 40 years.

Jail is nice yes, and people can disagree however they want but Jail is a holiday camp nowadays.

Life should mean life.

[Frodo13.]

Life should mean life.

Agreed. Dont really belive in Capital Punishment due to the fact innocent people could be wrongly killed. I do belive in Corporal Punishment though.
