Well, in Texas today, a man got the lethal injection, which reminded me to make this topic.

Capital punishment is very controversial. Lots of people have different opinions on it. Well, what do you guys think? Is sentencing someone to death fine if it's justified or just plain cruel?

Poll ends in 21 days. Discuss.

Depends on the crimes.

Right, but in general. It's alright, I don't have a straight opinion on it either.

The death penalty is a form of revenge, you execute a man while you could lock him away because he's obviously not fit in society, yet you take his life just due to him taking someone else's.

You've already became him.

In general? I support it. You need to look at it from the victims perspective. From their family's perspective.

Some guy just murdered and raped your wife and three small children plus any pets you own. Guess it's cool and he can live.

No one deserves to die, I'd be as forgeted up as him if I took his life in revenge, you might as well put me down too for being a brutal murderer.

And if my pets, my wife and children were dead, what satisfaction would his death bring me? That won't bring them back.

If you're just going to be an starfish when we're having a civilized conversation you can go forget yourself, I really don't have toleration for insults anymore.

Just saying it like it is. Clearly you've been sheltered like the rest of the kiddos on the internet out there. News flash: Some people do deserve to die. Let's look at some great examples shall we? Sure they may be over used but they're still examples. Stalin, Riddler, Bin Laden to name a few in just the the past 80 years. Wanna go back further?

I'm entitled to my opinion. The fact that you just shut me down when I'm speaking is complete bull stuff, you obviously don't know how to have a debate so I won't even try.

Isn't it inhuman to kill others?

Or maybe you're just so wrong there isn't any point putting a sugar coating over it?

An opinion isn't wrong, it's a belief and a thought that's personal to the person, unless it can be proven that it is morally justified it is an opinion. You're bloody insulting me instead of actually trying to make a valid argument for it. Stop being an starfish.

You're Broze, you don't listen to arguments of any measure of validity. Hopefully one day you remember it's the strong men with the loud sticks out there keeping you safe. You wouldn't be a speck in some pathetic excuse for a male's eye if it wasn't for someone killing someone or something else.

You're being tremendously unrational, also, it's Brozie, I'm not Broze anymore. It's my belief and you're not going to change that, you cannot have a debate because you don't know how. I cannot even state my opinion because you shut me down, that's not how the world operates.
