    a vote for death is not a vote for love and kindness. Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

    easy shit.

    also, i suggest those against the dp, i suggest you folks get a job at your local prison.
    make sure it's a maximum security facility full of nut jobs.

    then i want you to read the reports on each convict.
    if you can hold your lunch down, you win.

    sure i can and i do.

    there is too much sympathy for the murders here

    and not enough for the victims

    think of your life ending
    20 years too soon because of some maniac
    40 years
    60

    and you want him sheltered and fed for the rest of his

    sometimes we have to protect ourselves from ourselves

    it's like a light switch.
    on or off.
    on or off.

    i do not lose sleep over a predator being put away in a box and rotting underground.
    it does not bother me in the least.
    that is good for me, it is good for us all.
    that gives me and you extra cleaner air to breathe.
    it gives society a cleansing.

  • this is where you are incorrect. this has nothing to do with sympathy for any one individual. it's about murder being wrong. if you have ever been to a prison, you'd know that it ain't peachy.

    Full life sentence is the only way to go, let them die in jail, controlled killing is just as bad as murder.

    if you want to simplify an extremely complex issue to try to make your point, then I'll simplify it for you:

    no human has the right to decide the fate of another human's life. case closed. I guess that makes me a little more intelligent than a caveman. :lol:
    what are you basing this on? religious teachings? what does it have to do with intelligence? yes, humans do have the right to kill, in extremely rare and justifiable situations.

    its a pointless argument. either you believe killing is acceptable in rare situations, or you're a fundamentalist that believes in all or nothing.

    if you want a more complex answer dig up one of the millions of death penalty/pacifist threads that pops up here. mine is in there somewhere.

    i never thought id describe myself as a fundamentalist but it seems if i use your definition when it comes to the taking of another persons life, i guess i am.

    man what a crazy debate, I'm on the fence on this one but just for shyts and giggles can any of you give a honest answer as to why a convicted murder'er should not be killed for his crime ? and opinions don't count cause we all have them and yours is no more correct than mine, if I agreed with capital punishment I would say in support of it that exacution is the best way to make sure this person dose not kill again, there have been many people that got out of prison and killed again or raped again or molested a young boy or girl again, it's like using your family and friends as human ginnie pigs...OHHH dang he killed again that person would still be alive if we wacked him the first time..do you get what I'm saying ?
    and life in prison...many people have escaped and killed and even if they don't the cost to house a inmate a year is a butt load of money and guess who pays for that, you know when a animal attacks or even kills a human that animal is killed and most people agree with that..a animal with animal instincts to survive vs. a human with the power of reason "wright and wrong" is given 20 years to life or life with out parol where that person is fed and housed with t.v a gym and even a job to earn money to spend in the prison store...no justice some would say.
    as for me i honestly don't know if it's o.k to take a human life for any reason..I really don't know ?

    exactly...
    people will cage & whip a tiger or an elephant for some bullshit circus.
    when that tiger or elephant snaps and attacks and injures or kills someone they put the tiger or elephant down.
    beating a caged tiger, beating a caged elephant forcing them to do fun tricks.
    yeah, that's fantastic.
    i can't wait to be part of that.

    feed the bad people to hungry tigers.
    use the remains for the elephant to crap on.
    easy as that.

    btw, i love tigers and elephants :mrgreen:

    Haven't been on this post for a while so i haven't read all the pages but i did see people talking about how executing someone costs million of dollars? I don't get this. If putting the person to rest by injection is so expensive why not just shoot the piece of shit? Bullets are not that expensive.

    someone should not be killed for their crime because it's not anyone's right to decide the fate of anyone else. that's it.

    so we should kill all convicted killers/rapists/pedophiles just out of fear for society? wow, better get the needles ready, there's gonna be a long line up.

    Fact: it cost more money in the judicial process to put someone to death than it is for a life sentence.

    I don't know who you are talking to, but I don't know many, if any, people that agree with putting down a circus animal that goes crazy. If anything, I'm cheering on the brute as it mauls its trainer (see: abuser). Humans capture wild animals and beat them into performing for our own amusement, the thing goes nuts, for GOOD FUCKING REASON, and we blame the animal and kill it. See how stupid that is? Just as stupid capital punishment.

    it's not the act of killing someone that costs the money. it's the endless appeals and the waste of court time and money to exhaust all avenues to "make sure they got the right guy".

    good question, more kill for money than any other reason so why should we spare a life for a life that was taken for money, and your question is opinion based, is there a dollar value on human emotion ?.....who said money can't buy you love. :lol:

    it comes into the equation when pro-DPers try to say it's cheaper to kill the convict, my point is that it actually isn't. But like I said before, even if it was free to put them to death, that's still no reason to do so.

    If someone killed a child of yours or a child you are close to....how much monetary value would you put on their life?

    my children are priceless. their worth is immeasurable to me. but that doesnt mean i want a murderer dead. nor does it mean i have the right to seek vengeance.

  • you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. have you ever seen what the life of an inmate is actually like? there are many out there that believe that even locking people up is inhumane, but it's the only solution we have at the moment.

    the only ones that are "not too far off" a Hilton as you put it, are the ones that Martha Stewart stayed in. That's white collar criminal minor offenses, nothing that would warrant a life sentence or the death penalty.

    im not understanding why money comes into the equation. can someone tell me exactly how much a life is worth is cause i dont put a monetary value on it.


    Depends who they are.

    I would say sombody like Jeff Dahlmer isn't worth spending a whole lot of money on.

    If someone killed a child of yours or a child you are close to....how much monetary value would you put on their life?

    my children are priceless. their worth is immeasurable to me.


    Right there with ya!
