The Death Penalty (Merged)

I used to be for it but now I think it punishes more by keeping him in a 6X10 cell for 23 hours a day for the rest of his life. Thats a lot of time in a very small place to dwell on the reason he's in there.

If you kill a person intentionally & it can be proved without a doubt then yes, the killer has ended a persons life so that person has lost rights to live.

However the person should be put to death as humanely as possable, it is not our right to inflict pain!

even the smallest of crimes should result in death penalty...

death penalty will make people think twice before commiting a crime.. always remember you WILL get the electric chair

Yes, it has been discussed before. But still...

Yes, I support it. But still...

For proven serial killers like Ted Bundy, I have no compunctions at all. For the one-time murderer? Well, If the evidence is absolute...but then, is it ever? I think removing them from society is enough; but then there is always a parole, even if the verdict stipulates there not be.

For me it's too easy to argue both sides.

No, killing them is setting them free from their guilt. Let them rot in Jail for 50yrs. Go back to the days where they actually did break rocks all day and were fed crap food, prisons today are a holiday to most crims.

This theme seems to be a cyclic event in nthreads - it has been discussed many times before, in depth.
