That's the popular belief, but killing them will only make them martyrs. 20 years from now, another revolt might come up, with revenge for Bin Laden being the rallying cry.
It's not going to stop, no matter what we do, there will be an uprising of some sort. Unless we nuke the whole mideast, but that wouldnt be a very good resolution.

You know what? You're being a complete b!tch. I'm this close *holds up fingers* to reporting you and adding you to my ignore list. You always complain about people going off topic, and you are quite possibly the best example of a person who does that I've ever seen.
Everyone has a right to an opinion, and the right to speak it. Unless a person is the type who stereotypes an entire group based on a single person, it doesn't make all Americans look bad.

That is very true.
Killing them will make another 10 Bin Ladins and Saddam's...
Do you believe in human rights? Well Capital Punishment denies them...by killing soneone on a death row you are ignoring the human rights....

well! how about that! YOU finally said something I most certainly AGREE with! It is wrong to kill another being so capital punishment is WRONG! You're pretty much smart after all.
Personally, I don't believe in human rights. Sure, there are certain rights that humans should be granted inalienably, but the fact is that not everybody believes that these are the same things. The world is such an incredibly diverse place that we will never be able to get all the humans who live here to agree 100% on them. As much as I hate to say it, I believe that the fact is that there are no such things as human rights.

Wait a second. Is she smart because she agreed with you? 😕
I believe so. That's why I'm adding her to my ignore list.
Adding to my last comment though one of the rights I believe humans have is the right to life. That's why I don't believe in Capital punishment. It's just that not everybody has the same opinion, therefore human rights are impossible to achieve.
Yeah. Even if it is not for revenge, it makes sure that they will never commit that crime again.
Also, if they are allowed to live in prison for the rest of their lives, then they are being REWARDED for their crimes by having free accommodation, free food, free electricity, free gas etc.... all at the taxpayers expense. and they dont even have to work for the rest of their lives.
wot does the death penntly actualy achive??
It may afford victims(or their family) some peace of mind knowing that the person who commited the crime can never do it again but the will still have to deal with wot that person did to them
By killing them you are going down to the same level as them and becoming a Murderer your self

Xena I don't represent anybody BUT myself. My comments are mine! If it is share by other Americans.....well, there ins't much to it!
Yes, I've notice that there ppl from different parts of the world. They have their opinions, and I have mine. They don't believe in Capital Punishment? That's fine! I believe in Capital punishment. Can you give me "reasonable" arguments why is wrong?
I respect opininons it doesn't mean that I will accept them. The same applies to those that don't accept mine.
(I think we already made several threads about the death penalty)
-KEEP THIS ON TOPIC PPL-
WD: The most reasonable argument i have to bring in against the death penalty is that it is irreversable and innocent ppl might die, while as when you inprison them for life they might still enjoy a long time as a free man once their innocence is proven.

I'll try to keep it on topic.
Innocent ppl might die? Yes, is possible, but then again Justice is blind right? For me the death penalty should be apply to individuals that are "repetitive offendors" Meaning they have kill more than once without reasonable actions, and it does not involve "self defense".
