Death penalty - right or wrong? [FIRST THREAD!]

[Hushie]

The Green Mile is a) a movie & b) set in the 1920's/1950's when DNA didn't exist. The right for a state to take someones life is pretty simple. You take someone's life = you lose yours. It's called justice.

The man burning was because Percy didn't wet the sponge, normal electric chair isn't like that.
.

I realized it was a movie.
Besides people could still not wet the sponge if they felt like it. (Although it's highly improbable that scene was sick)
And DNA can be planted

All around the internet? Deary me, you are naive.

Not as naive as believing theres a big man in the sky.
And obviously theres gonna be people on the internet who believe in God. Your trying to imply I meant that everyone on the internet doesn't believe in the bible, when I blatantly wasn't, I was saying look on the internet for evidence.

I doubt it'd curb crime, people who commits crimes, especially murder, don't plan on being caught.

Its not technically a "big man in the sky", God can be a symbol.

And, look around the internet for evidence. I could say a LOT of things to that, but i'll say one thing, there is no evidence whatsoever for ANYTHING that can prove that something is not real.

:rolleyes: I was talking about evidence the bible isn't true.

Some things that aren't real:

The Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause & The Easter Bunny

God is like them for older people.

People deserve death if they have killed someone else on purpose, i'd personally have no regrets on flicking the switch to watch the killer fry to death. I have no remorse at all for these evil people.

But what if they turned out to be innocent once they had been killed?

As I have said in the past, there should be degree's of murder. Death should only be used in cases were the evidence is undisputable, eg; 10 people saw the man cutting a random man up with a chainsaw.

Fine, i'm just going to act like you.

Things that are real:

Computers, Food & Water.

God is like those for older people. :rolleyes:

i'm against the death penalty under every circumstance. because someone has killed someone doesn't make it right for the country to kill them.

[leah]

I think that there shouldn't be a death penalty, purely incase someone gets killed for a crime they didn't commit. Most people would rather die, quickly and painless than have to spend so many years in prison, I do however think that crimes such as Rape or Murder desearve FULL life sentences in prison instead of going in for about 5 years and coming out again. =/

Then surely it should be up to the family of the victim to decide life or death. Two wrongs do make a right.

Prisions in Britain are like holiday camps, a prisoner even said himself to Jack Straw a few weeks back.
