Death Penalty
This was brought up in another thread, but I believe it deserves a thread of its own. What are your thoughts on the death penatly.
I am for it...strongly, but it also is dependent upon the circumstances....for the sentence.

As I said in the other thread, I am very much against it as well.

There's no murderers in Norway, just nice 7ft tall people and your occasional disgruntled Viking!

I'm for it. It should be used a little more here in the States if you ask me. People who commit murders are nothing but slime and don't diserve to live anywhere, even prison.

Well, I don't think it's for us as I society to decide who should die because they're guilty..and I don't think we always have the right person..there's been several overturned death sentences in the last few years because of the new DNA evidence prooved that they didn't do it. It makes you wonder how many innocent people we've executed. Lastly..contrary to popular belief it's cheaper to house these people for the rest of their lives rather than let them exerise their full right to judicial appeals.

No, actually murder in large US cities is up dramatically this year.
I dont know about other crimes, but I doubt that the death peantly applies to pick pockets and car thiefs.......unless they steal my car

So the people here who are FOR the death penalty, what do you think a person has to do before he/she should get the death penalty.
And for those who are AGAINST do you believe that a criminal on death-row (for example) can be re-habilitated, if so how.
And lastly for those who don't believe in re-habitilization, What do you believe in??

I'm really not sure that all criminals can be re-habilitiated.
But I do know that a. a system of judicial murder will never bring about improvement and b. that plenty of countries get on fine without the death sentence- with no higher levels of crime.

I think that life in prison is far worse then the death peanlty! Let the bastards suffer, that's what I say.
