... you all know what death penalty is (hohoho!), but do you also know what your opinion to death penalty is?
Well, if u dont know, leave, think and come back if you have your own opinion, dont dare just to copie others opinions.
Oh well, my opinion comes first obviously, but first of all i want to kill a wrong reasoning in many of your heads:
Prisoners need something to eat and drink, of course, and all of you think now 'why not just killing this guy, he maybe killed someone and now he eats our food and drinks our water!' Well guys, prisoners work, so they dont cost us somethin, they kinda help uz, one them helps generally more than one of you, kk? Dont let me hear kill that guy, the money he'd cost could be mine!
Oh well my opinion... kill that prisoners. What said Ghandi? Eye for eye and the world is blind. Lol funny! I mean, how dare he to tell such a nonsense? Doesnt matter. Why not a beautiful list for my clever arguments?
> Who wanted to get killed? Yes, exactly, no one =>
The murderer hurts also the friends, the family of the victim. And whooops, a friend or a relative takes revenge! Lolol, we have another young murderer, oh dear... Why not just go let the magistrate decide what happens? Ouch! Big story. Also the murderer dies, and really no one wanted to get killed.
Well well, the murderer should get killed officially by a deathsman or even one relative or friend of the victim if he wants, then everyone had his revenge and hey, who wants to take revenge then? All not (enough) reasoned acts of revenge means for the man who has taken revenge the death, punto. And the next day pasts away as if nothing had happen...
Oh and yes, sry for my english dudes :P I hold my opinion basically, i will define it clearlier after some opinions with celver arguments will appear (and contra-arguments for the my basically hold opinion, lets see if you think something is already at beginnin stupid :P)
Maybe... what does that have to do with the death penalty? All I'm saying is that prisons should be uncomfortable, so that it's actually bad to get sent there. Some prisoners probably had worse before they committed their crimes. Prisons should be sanitary and have healthy food and opportunities to exercise, but they needn't have cable TV.
Ill make a murder and let it look like if you was the murderer, novalein.
No, some people had done something to get in prison, because the life before has been... worse.
Novalein, your solution would be not very social, for a beautiful world you mustnt make life in prison even worse - you need to make life as a very poor better, this.
Kill them. Shoot them in the head and be done with it. Quick, most likely painless, and gets the job done.
Or, you could take the route that is actually a punishment and use a far more painful method. Stoning, gas chamber, short hanging, all of which are excruciating. It's a true punishment. I would rather die quick and painless such as with lethal injection or bullet to the brain than live in prison forever. But if the punishment was excruciating, something to be feared, then I would pick life without any day.
I believe the method should be applied to the offense. The more heinous, the more painful.
On a side note, child sex offenders who molest children should get the death penalty in my opinion.
If you murder someone I think you should be put to the death penalty, easy. But I don't think I'd be much bothered by the murderers just being sent to jail for the rest of their lives. Even if jail weren't that bad, I think its just good to get the criminals out of regular society so they don't commit any more murders. I could give a crap on whether they are enjoying themselves or not. I think you should only be punished if the jail time isn't for life. Because if your just gonna be in jail for the rest of your life, it doesn't really matter if your punished or not, punishment is to make people learn. But then again, murders should be put on the death penalty period because food is bought for the people in jail, where does the money for the food come from? I don't know but I'd assume it would be from taxes or something of the sort. So if you kill, and its not justified, you should be put to the death penalty, thats my final verdict.
Prison is not comfy at all. u sleep on terrible beds, little and crappy food, hard work most of the day, plus u may get stuck in a cell with the worst person...
Well first of all it needs to be humane. And not just any crimes should be given capital punishment; however, there are certain crimes in which the person guilty should really give up their lives.
Death is a mercy to these people. They should suffer not die. Just suffer for the rest of their lives.
Suffer and die. That's how it should be. They die eventually, and with no predicted contribution to society, the sooner we don't have the problems that come with murderers, the better. They behave like crap in prison, and end up killing other people. After all, they're looking at spending the rest of their life there, what do they have to lose?
Has anyone here heard of the Code of Hammurabi? An eye for an eye and whatnot? In my opinion, these people should suffer whatever sort of injustice that they committed, and if that doesn't quite work out as planned, a public lynching or execution would be quite easy to organize.
Oh, and by the way, isn't life in prison technically a death sentence? Not like you're going to get out, and with executions how they are, chances are you would survive longer on death row.
Anyone can change, even in prison. The death penalty is not the best option
Sometimes people just gotta go. A person can change if they've killed one or more people, but does that erase lives taken? No. Punishment is due where punishment is deserved.
Like Orion just said, there are times when what a person does in inexcusable, and no amount of atonement or self pity can bring someone back form the dead.
It's immoral, and should be illegal everywhere.
If it's immoral on the grounds of killing someone is immoral, I would sincerely like to know your opinions of moral, or deserved punishment.
