whats your opinion on the death penalty

It's kind of weird when you think about it, we try to show people that killing is wrong.... by killing them.

But yeah, I like the death penalty. That above was just a random thought.

The death penalty is more about instilling fear rather than teaching anyone anything.

It's not really showing people it's wrong. Showing people it's wrong, is more like having a PSA on killing.

I don't think the lesson gets learnt due to the whole them dying part ^^'

Against it. We should find an uninhabitated island in the Pacific, surround it with guard towers and a fence, and dump them all there. Drop a supply of food and meds once a month, let them fight over it.

That sounds worse for them.

And funnier to watch for some reason.

Eh, i think it's necessary measure. I mean, i don't mean to sound cold but think about it. But if someone has committed crimes so severe they would other be at least serving life in prison for which normal people would have to pay to feed them, clean them etc. People would be Taxed to pay for these people, which i think would build up to a noticable amount given time. I don't think people should have to pay for them, that's all.

Secondly I'm sorry but like multiple murderers and series rapists should be killed, because there's no reason to let them live after certain acts in my opinion.

Besides we put down dogs that are considered dangerous.

(Long post because i's bored =( )

Lemme take this one step further:

Why are we wasting tax dollars on some prisoners who will die in prison, anyway? Why can't that money be spent on people who WILL do good? Specifically, for people who need medical attention and can't afford. Or spending that money on R&D that will later save lots of lives.

In addition, we should eliminate prison sentences for many drug offenses. No human should serve any time for MJ use or distribution. Sure, if they don't pay taxes on their weed, hit them off for tax fraud, etc. Same with shrooms and other types of drugs.

On top of this MUCH more effort should be made in actually reforming inmates instead of treating them less human.

I have many more thoughts on this...but this shall suffice for the time being.

The death penalty is a necessary evil.

If someone will pose a very real threat to others in society and has committed enough atrocities to prove it, why should money be spent keeping him alive when financially offing him is more efficient? There is no reason criminals who have committed heinous acts who would not be productive to society should be kept alive.

Also, I completely agree with dadudemon, in that prisons should focus on reforming criminals, not treating them like trash.

I am 100% Pro Death Penalty.

I'm for it.

Yes, I understand. if the thread starter wanted serious people to seriously debate over this serious issue, he would have but it in general.

As it is, i'm going to joke about it.

May the punishment fit the crime.

Rapers should be drowned in a vat of sperm while being raped. Only fair 😄

Vehicular Man slaughterers should be used as real human analogue test dummies.

Psychopathic killers should be used in all sorts of hilarious physics experiments. What does happen to the human body when fired out of a cannon at the speed of sound?

And finally, regular boring murderers should be piled in the grand canyon until its filled with bleached bones and a sign that says "pit of boring people who killed other boring people in conventional ways--Formerly known as the "grand canyon"

here is another thing to think about. should we let the government just kill people at there disposal? because every time someone dies my lethal injection its done by the government. so should we let them do that? or better yet why should we give them that kind of power.

What makes anyone think they can just end someones one and only life? Ridiculous.

see. thats my point.

That's rather simple.

1. They took another life with adequate mens rea ("malice aforethought."😉

2. Some are not sorry or even a slight bit remorseful. Evidence shows that they will be repeat offenders IF they have this attitude.

3. Some abduct, horribly rape, and murder little children. That alone deserves the death penalty regardless of how remorseful they are. A person like that forfeits their privilege to life.

4. The cost of housing an inmate for his or her whole life is really high.

5. Some family members want revenge in the only legal way they can get it.

6. There's already enough people living in this world. Losing one very very bad apple is hardly a net negative.

There's 6 reasons. 😐
