Title says it all.

Preferably...can someone give me arguments for the death penalty? School debate >.<

Well...there's no point of learning a lesson when the rest of your life is behind bars. Pointless, it defeats the purpose of jail if it's life imprisonment.


Well how would they learn the lesson if they are dead?

Sometimes, they cannot learn their lessons. Serial killers for example. No use stopping repeated offenders.

Well yes, a serial killer I believe deserves to die.

But what if they didn't mean to do it. Do they still deserve to die?

Serial killers...who didn't mean to do it...

ANYWAYS, I might as well reiterate my point. We cannot have a black and white rule that involves the death penalty, I can only approve of the death penalty if the judge is given most of the power in making the decision.

Sorry for double post but I just had to say it.

I totally think we should have it. It makes some criminals scared.


Prove it. Show me evidence that the death penalty reduces crimes committed where the death penalty is an option for punishment.

WAIT, there's an important piece of information...

The sanctity of life, or the right to live, as stated in the Bible is only applicable to non-criminals...Xp

have some proof for that statement.
as far as i know the right to live is valid for any human being, and since i do not remember that your humanmembership can be revoked, you always have i right to live

@Donpiet:
I'm pretty sure he's joking; Christians tend to be conservative and conservatives support the death penalty, so I think it's a way of making fun of Christians.

Sometimes, assumptions to put it in a way...make an ass out of you and me.

@nichodemus.
great link, and by sending it, you have delivered the criticism of the principle you favored.

the sancticy of life is only been limited to non-criminals, so that you can justify the death penalty.

I think it's too big of a punishment. Although, some people deserve it. Nahhhh, a lifetime in Prison is better. xD Torture!
