Death Penalty

[IsaacKronenFaust]

That Lethal injection treatment isn't going to scare would-be criminals from commiting crimes in the first place. I say bring back the Brazen bull.

Thats what I hate about religious people.
They do something bad and then their excuse is: "God forgived me and removed my sins."

Woopity freaking doo. If you are christian, you know that God is forgiving. It's like something to fall back on. It's as if you tell your mom you are sorry for taking a stuff on the couch by mistake. >.<

Instead of the death penalty, maybe they should make a injection medicine that makes them feel intense pain.

Plus, the god exists in your head so you will actually forgive yourself, therefore making bad deeds fine for you.

No, but you see, if you don't actually mean it, you might not go to heaven.

There is a reason for punishing people, this reason is to stop them from doing something bad again, not stopping them from doing anything... just killing people... so pointless.. make them do good stuff instead! LAZY BITCHES! =P

Boo hoo, I can't get to heaven. :(

Maybe if they used Ebola in the Gas Chambers, we wouldn't even have to put them to use... just have them on display, let everyone know that when you commit murder, you get to go stuff your guts out.

um

You're an idiot if you think that the Christian God is forgiving.

That being said, no one ever deserves to die, even if they killed.

[pixl]

I think they should choose if they want to die.

[MtnDew]

I personally don't know what to make of it. If a prisoner is simply put to death for their actions, they don't have to go through the experience of living several years in prison and living every day in regret. However, if they are kept in the prison, they may simply escape. Additionally, money would need to be spent on their care.

It costs more money to execute someone btw.
(Compared to that of a 10 year sentence in prison)

Hey honey!
A surprise to find you in this topic. :3

Agreed what's the point of punishing someone so they won't do it again if they die?

[Ladios]

I am against it.

It is more punishing for the person to actually spend all that time in prision, and therefore more effective.
The criminals that do reform get another chance where as if they were killed beforehand there is no point. (the jail system is meant to change the criminals actions)
The death penalty does not deter murders, as most murders are commited by people upon people they know. These people arnt thinking of the consequences at the time.
It costs more money to put someone to death than it does to leave them in prision for life.

And also the obligatory: killing the killer just makes a hypocrite.



[edit]

HURRRR
The basis of Christianity is God giving humans a second chance through the death of Christ.
As I have come to know it in my life "second chance" = "forgiveness".

Not to start any religious argument of course.

[Destiny/Zack0Wack0]

If you want the criminal to suffer, why are you payings lots of money to kill them therefore saving them from years of agony? The death penalty is bullstuff, it completely goes against its own basis.

Let me put it this way, because of your ignorance driving a car has caused someone else to die, you are sentence to death. Own up to it now.

All people charged with a DUI should have the same punishment as those who happen to kill people. It's not fair to the people who have their lives ruined just from 1 big mistake.
