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

[Virgin Mary]

i totally! agree with the death penalty, i mean if someone can murder someone why should there lifes be spared? they can kill why shouldnt they die? they should have thought about what there doing and know the consiquences.

Murderers= Death Penalty

Because it's hypocritical to kill someone for killing someone else. Furthermore, murderers generally don't think about what they're doing, nor do they intend to get caught.

people really need to read this whole thread. the same argument has been said over and over for the death penalty. you have to look at it a bit deeper than "if someone kills someone, they should die too." there's waaaaaay more to it than that, such as:

- a surprising amount of innocent people who get put to death
- the fact that it doesnt teach criminals anything. (criminals always think they're going to get away with it, so they don't think of the consequences)
- the inconsistencies in the system (as in one person can be put to death for killing one person, but someone else could kill five people and not be put to death)

Prison is by far the worst punishment. Death is an escape rope for them.

I don't agree. Some prisons have there own TVs, pool/snooker tables and nice proper meals. I've been to one!

I think prisons should be all grey and dull. Hard beds, stone floor/walls and bread and water for meals.

If you go into that thread and click the youtube video (it links to a Sky news article showing two people getting attacked and one getting stabbed to death, just to warn you) and the fact that they are allowed out in atleast 5 years is absolutely sickening. We shouldn't be housing these criminals, we should be weeding them out with the necessary deterrents or the necessary punishments. Which in my opinion for the people in the video, should be the implementation of the death penalty.

If there is evidence to support that it was said person who commited a serious crime (such as murder) then I believe that they should be put to death. Whereas if they were drunk and they killed someone they should be put in jail for a few years. Even if they didn't do it purposely, a life was still lost by them, justice should be implemented. Getting smashed isn't an excuse for commiting a crime.

My two pence on the subject.

The people that kill little childeren the deserve to die.

I don't care about human rights when it comes to criminals, they don't deserve any.

Only the people the kill the children die? So your saying the adults and others who get murdered aren't as important?

I'm pretty sure there was already an official debate about this at one point when Sadam Hussain got hanged but I guess I can repeat what I said

There is soo much irony regarding the death penalty seeing as the person is getting killed for killing another person even though they are going to be doing the exact same thing.

But I also agree with Jack about criminals not deserving any human rights as they don't care about others and will most likely re-offend so why should we give a toss about them if they're going to just wreck and harm the community.

- a surprising amount of innocent people who get put to death.

I agree, evidence which is first brought up when the case begins can later be found to be flawed or false. But if someone's sentenced and put to death, then the evidence is deemed inaccurate its a bit late then isnt it and some innocent persons been killed.
Man should not do Gods work.
