wow suprised to the the against it winning...people here might have more brains than i think -
im for it. scaring people will keep them in line.
criminals aren't that afraid of killing and robbing people because they can tough it out in jail. however, if they risk having an arm cut off for stealing, or castrated for rape, they would think twiceEmail: Clicky on MeComment

depends on the circumstances.
if some douchebag brutally rapes and kills a child, dismembers her, he needs to leave the planet without a beating heart by the hand of man.
i suppose there is an argument for any perspective, but thats mine and i'm sticking to it.Comment

I don't think you should judge someone's intelligence based on their stance on this issue.
When someone kills someone you love in cold blood and prison life doesn't seem to bother them, you may feel differently.

I have nothing against seeing a murderer get fried. I say we should stack 'em 20 high on the fuckin chair and throw the switch. So, no moral objections.
Fiscally, it's not really sound. Most of the inmates lined up to die sit on death row for years, sucking taxpayer dollars, so its just a waste of money.
Also, its not really a deterrent. Does anyone think some asshole will not shoot a grocery store clerk because they think they might get the electric chair?

I'm against it not from a moral standpoint but a practicality standpoint. It costs more to put someone to death than it does to put them in jail for life and it clogs up the legal system so I say we just do away with it for good. It doesn't work. It isn't a deterrent and all it is doing is costing us money.Comment

i'm for it but with a LONG and lengthy process to have it enacted and only for
a. more than one murder with decreasing wait time till death on every additional murder
b. repeat child molesters for kids under 12This dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog!

When did a single bullet, and 10 minutes of 1 persons time cost over $32k?
Last year, they said it costs $32,952.20 just to house 1 inmate per year... 1 bullet costs pennies, and you can pay a guy $1k to put that bullet in the mother fuckers head... Save thousands of dollars a year, per inmate.Comment

That is a fantastic idea until it is you getting the bullet put into your head for a crime you didn't commit, but were found guilty of because the eye witness wrongly identified you and the prosecution was able to keep the DNA evidence that proves your innocence out of the case.

Definitely for it and haven't heard anything resembling an argument against it.
Just to clarify, anything constitute as capital murder, or premeditated murder, as well as rape and murder, all deserve death.

I don't disagree that for every one innocent person that is executed there are hundreds that are legit murderers and rapists. But the question is what is the number? How many innocent people should have to die in order for us to have a death penalty? And would you feel the same if it was you or a family member that was wrongly put to death.For every case like that, there are 100's that are real murders and shit living off our tax dollars enjoying 3 meals a day, a bed to sleep in, entertainment, and outside time, while us tax payers get fucked in the ass, lose our houses, and cars because we can't afford to pay them anymore, and also starve...

If you are wrongly accused of a crime and sentenced to death are you just going to shrug and say, "well, I guess I will take it for the team?"Comment

The main reason it costs more to put someone to death is all the legal wrangling that goes on. The death penalty is very much a political tool and since most DA's and judges in this country are elected, they want to push it to make it look like they are tough on crime.Maybe I'm living in some fantasy world, but doesn't a death-row convict cost more money than just keeping him locked behind bars?
Edit** I'm for chopping off hands and feet of spammers and dropping them in shark-infested waters, so maybe I'm biased toward regular criminals.
When they seek the death penalty on someone there will be years of legal proceedings that will take place before that person is put to death and those get very expensive very quickly.Comment

How about the argument that it doesn't work as a deterrent? I have never seen any proof that any state with the death penalty has any lower rate of capitol crimes than any state without it. For that matter most of the states with the death penalty actually have a higher rate of capitol crimes than those without it.Definitely for it and haven't heard anything resembling an argument against it.

No, this one fails as well because the death penalty itself isn't the problem for capital punishment not being a deterrent, but the process to death itself.

If our government were to stipulate that from now on, murders occuring on mondays and wednesday will receive 20 years in prison while murders occuring on tuesdays and thursdays will get death within a year, I guarantee you murders on tuesday and thursday will be ridiculously less than murders on monday and wednesday.Greed is Good

Rofl, so if someone who's a skinny nerd kills someone you know, we shouldn't lock them up because you're mad at them? This is hilarious. We should lock up those who pose a threat to society, and kill those who don't deserve to live after committing their crimes.I'm for it when there is no doubt of guilt. like someone sees you raping grandmas you just killed and beheaded.

Then we go back to the issue that I am against. If we are going to put people to death we need to make sure that they are guilty even if we expedite it and make it happen within a year of them being arrested. Until they take politics out of the death penalty and all they care about is making sure they get the right guy then we are going to end up locked in that merry go round of legal garbage and all of that costs a ton of money.No, this one fails as well because the death penalty itself isn't the problem for capital punishment not being a deterrent, but the process to death itself.

When you get away from the legal system then you risk killing innocent people. I know that there no perfect system, but I don't think we need a system where we know that we are sometimes putting innocent people to death all in the name of speedy kills so we can deter people from committing capitol crimes.
Also, I don't buy your analogy either. Look at the numbers. On average states that have no death penalty have a lower rate of capitol crimes than those that have the death penalty. That is simple fact. They have no deterrent of death to keep people from committing these crimes, yet somehow the rates of those crimes is lower. Why is that?Comment

RIYADH (Reuters) - A Saudi court of cassation upheld a ruling to behead and crucify a 22-year-old man convicted of raping five children and leaving one of them to die in the desert, newspapers reported on Tuesday.
The convict was arrested earlier this year after a seven-year old boy helped police in their investigation. The child left in the desert after the rape was three years old, Okaz newspaper said.
International rights groups have accused the kingdom, the birthplace of Islam, of applying draconian justice, beheading murderers, rapists and drug traffickers in public. So far this year about 40 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia.
In Saudi Arabia, crucifixion means tying the body of the convict to wooden beams to be displayed to the public after beheading.Around since 1997, and the company that introduced "Cascading Billing" in MPA3® Affiliate Management and Tracking Software

Right, but I think it's also a travesty if we let capital murderers live. It's a blatant insult against the victim and his family.When you get away from the legal system then you risk killing innocent people. I know that there no perfect system, but I don't think we need a system where we know that we are sometimes putting innocent people to death all in the name of speedy kills so we can deter people from committing capitol crimes.
Heard this argument before. There's NO causation and almost no correlation between the numbers. They have nothing to do with the death penalty. The numbers don't even make sense if you try to correlate them. The analogy works because the system for capital punishment is faulty.Also, I don't buy your analogy either. Look at the numbers.

I have a solution for the national debt. Raffle off chances to be the one to kill a serial killer or child molester. I'd kick in $100 or so a week to buy tickets. Then you could make the spectacle a pay per view television event with DVD sales to follow. You could sell hats and t-shirts too. We'd have the economy and justice system fixed in a few years.

I support it, but there is no doubt that innocent people have been executed.
We need to have seperate standards of guilt that are tougher than "beyond a reasonable doubt" for there to be an execution. There needs to be 100% undeniable proof. When there is that kind of evidence, I do not believe there should even be an appeals process. Just take the killer into a room next door after the ruling and get it over with right then.
We also need to expand what crimes are eligible for death. For instance if a drunk driver with a dozen DUI arrests finally kills someone, they should be executed.Last edited by Matt 26z; 11-04-2009, 08:17 AM.Comment

No, I am against it and here is why. I want them to suffer, and giving them death is too quick in my book. No, I want them to suffer. Bring back the chain gang. I want them breaking rocks, cutting trees, picking up garbage on the side of the road...all fricken day long, every single day, for the rest of their lives. No fucking TV, no lifting weights, NOTHING for them to look forward to. And only enough food and water so they can keep working. And I want them working in an area where they can see cars of people on their way to work or home, so they are reminded every day of what they are missing. Plus, it gives others a chance to see what they will be doing for the rest of their lives if they commit a crime like that. I want them to suffer...Comment

I support it only for those certain cases of serial rape/murder where there is zero doubt the person did it. Zero, as in none. The Dahmers and Pictons and Bernardos of the world really don't deserve to breath air and eat food like the rest of us.
For me it's not about it being a deterrent either, but more about ridding society of the worst scum imagineable and making sure that that scum has zero chance of doing what they did ever again.
It's easy to oppose the death penalty until it's your own kid or your own wife, parent, brother, sister etc that was horribly murdered, raped and killed, mutilated etc by some sick whacko. Personally I feel sorry for the families of such victims, who have to live the rest of their lives knowing their loved one's killer is alive and has the possibility of finding even the least little enjoyment of life while in prison. No north American prison is harsh enough for these specific criminals.
In Canada, for someone like Paul Bernardo and his nutjob girlfriend I'd have gladly pushed the plunger on the syringe personally. We are way too soft on scum here.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!
