The Death Penalty...Is it right?

08-21-06, 10:56 AM

So how do you feel about war? If your government orders you to go into combat, should you refuse on the grounds that God commands you not to kill, ever? That's what the Quakers believe, and they get special exemptions from combat duty, meaning that if drafted they only have to serve in non-combat roles.

Personally, I feel that if a person is guilty of certain crimes he has forfeited the basic civil rights that govern the rest of us. The main purpose of Captital Punishment to me is that using the state to do it lowers the possibility of vedettas.
