I've been tending to think lately, that death panalty, unless it's pre-emptive in some cases, is not quite justefied.

yeah i've pondered this too

is the death penalty too easy on criminals?

if they are killers or rapists should we torture them for the rest of their lives instead of the death penalty

i know torturing them would be a worse fate than the death penalty

fuck the pussies...give him the chair

Amnesty International have attacked the us with figures that prove the death penalty is racist. If anyones interested ill try and type it up tomorrow. I dont see how a country whicch claims to be a pillar of human rights can have that kind of punishment

* Sigh.  What's the world coming to.

Personally I believe that we as human beings have no right to take another's life. In my opinion that's up to God. However, in order for society to sustain life, laws and punishments have to be set in place and followed through with. So, should we send them to jail forever, yes. It's beneficial to the public because obviously if the person has the capability and willingness to kill or rape another person, he is a threat to us. But, we shouldnt put him to death. Not because its an easy way out, but more so due to the fact that it makes us as bad as him/her (like ITW said). If it was up to I'd kill all the rapists and molestors because thats just sickening to do that to others, but I wouldn't be justified in doing so. In conclusion, do they deserve to die...yes. Should we give them the punishment of death.....no because two wrongs dont make a right. Lock them up for good!!!! Let them pack some meat.
