Death Penalty

[Hitoshura]

What do you think about it? I think that it depends on what the suspect did. If he murdered someone, then I'm for it. Any other, I really dont know..... it all depends on what he/she did.

Thoughts ?

[Devious]

Same here, depends on the severity of the crime. If the criminal is a psychopath that cannot be released into normal society, kill him. If he killed someone accidentally, no way. If he killed them out of spite and anger, give him a chance. Then kill him. lol jking.

Hmm. I think in some cased it should be put in place. e.g. Kiddy fiddlers who lock kids in their basement.

Same here. It depends of what the criminal did.

I heard they got rid of the death penalty in New Jersey. Dunno if it's true or not.

I believe it depends on the severity of the crime.

[Alphonse]

Thats somehting I didnt know. Over here ther making a law that lets you carry guns to protect yourself but I think they said no to that.

[Lifrasthir]

Ah, but in Kansas we're allowed to carry concealed guns around.

[Alphonse]

LOL Ill go ther noe of this days.J/K

I think that if you killed someone on purpose then you should get the death penalty. Unless you a minor, then you would be put on normal murder charges, like life in prison.

[Alphonse]

Yeah. Dont know why people dont get deaed penelty when they kill someone. Ive seen it a lot.

A life in prison? You may as well just kill them.

[Alphonse]

Yeah. Whays the point of kipping them alive.

[Devious]

There are plenty of people who'd much rather live in captivity rather than die. We don't have the right to say which would be better for them.

[Alphonse]

True. We dont decide who lives or who doesent only laws I guess.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Really? I'd rather die then suffer a lifetime of darkness

[Alphonse]

Seriosly?! You dont want to live in a prison insted of dying!? Well same here.

We also technically don't have the right to say who can live and who can die. Killing those who killed is just like a flimsily justified form of hypocrisy. :/

Ever heard the saying "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?" I fully support that ideal. You kill someone purposefully and brutally, you get killed. It's not hypocrisy. Killing for the sake of killing is wrong. Killing in the name of justice is right. Now the problem with that is what defines justice. And yeah, we may not have a right to judge who should live and die, but if not us, then who? The killer? The dead victim?

Ever heard the saying, "The problem with an eye for an eye is that everybody goes blind"? It's not 'right'. You only think it's 'right'.

Killing is killing. Saying something like 'You killed somebody, so I'm going to kill you' is the worst argument I've ever heard. Just because they did it, does it justify you doing so? That's like me saying that because you stole five bucks from somebody, it makes it right for me to steal from you. It's just hypocrisy, pure and simple.

And who does have the right to judge who should live and die? The answer is, in my opinion, nobody. Saying that we magically have that kind of right because nobody else does is like saying that I have the right to eat that apple that nobody should because nobody else can. It's like saying that I have the right to shoot you because nobody else does.

What about the tooth? Everyone gets a cavity?

Well the victim is dead, so there's really no one more qualified than you to decide whether the murdurer lives or dies.

No, it's more like a bully steals money from a guy, then you beat the bully up, take his money, find out that the bully's victim is in Fiji and is never coming back, and having no choice but to keep the money. Not really wrong, is it?

wtf if you're the only one who can eat the apple then FREAKING EAT IT. Don't let it go to waste.

Yeah, but you'd need a valid reason to shoot me. If I did something wrong go ahead. It's not like the justice system kills innocent people because they have the right to. They don't even have the right to kill guilty people, they're just the closest to having the right.

btw the saying is actually "An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind" said by Ghandi. What a surprise.
