Im kind of mixed on this issue. You could say an eye for an eye, but then arent you just as bad as them if you take their life?

That's a valid point. Rapists are so sick though I could care less what happens to them, personally. They could be put to death or be locked up for life with a bunch of butt pirates and have the same thing he did to some victim happen to him for the rest of his life.
DAYUM:
rapeist, molesters, and serial killers should be put to death
Montana00:
for everyone using the taxes reason behind their arguement.
i think i read somewhere that the government pays on average around $25,000 a year on each prisoner. That varies depending on state, and what kind of luxuries the prisoner gets.
Heck, there are some prisons where each prisoner gets his own cell, and his own tv. Might i add with cable tv. They get to go outside, complete with a very nice gym. Basketball courts. But you still are confined to prison so thats the downside.
But states do pay alot of money to have people executed, alot of money is spent on convicts using the appealing process. Dont they get like 7 years to appeal if their on death row?

See, you bring up a valid point, I don't know if you meant it that way, but we'll do it like this... I'll ask YOU this, and Overseer too. I'm being respectful here, so please just answer it honestly.
If a man, RAPED say... Queen Elizabeth, and then killed her. And then desecrated her body, and burned down Parliament, then urinated on Princess Diana's grave. (I'm saying this because O's british).... wouldn't you want him to die? Wouldn't the death penalty be appropriate then? Or say somebody RAPED Ghandi or someone similarly beloved. Wouldn't he deserve the death penalty?
If you say YES, then we've stopped arguing about the moral issue, now we're just coming to terms with where we draw the line.
Don Seer:
put him/her in jail. over here and in mainland europe some high profile politicians and celebs have been murdered and when not shot on the spot, they end up in jail.
to be honest, someone (inside) would probably get at him anyways.
and often in these high profile cases they commit suicide.
legally things may be different for royalty as its an act of treason, it may still carry the death sentence, and i'm sure there'd be a campaign to bring it back, just once..
