    Do you support death penalty in countries? If you do not or do, why? If you do, who deserves it and who do not?

    Just throwing out interesting topics
     
    The possibility that someone who was truly not guilty might be sentenced to the death penalty far outweighs any benefit of having it in my mind.
     
    ^ Thats why we have genetic testing, though I think that it's wrong even if they were guilty, but it's too expensive to put people in jail for life.
     
    ive favored it because of the financial cost of keeping prisoners, but i lean towards opposing it because giving death to a murderer seems like the easy way out of their debt. that and the possibility of an unfairly charged sentence.
     
    Yeah I do and people should get them if they kill other people.
     
    No human has the right to take the life of another. In my mind, the death penalty and murder are one and the same. I dont see the problem with putting them in jail until they die of natrual cause or get shanked

    Becuase it takes up a lot of tax payers money. Or, at least it does in the States.
     
    Well, really, I'm on the fence.

    After all, the death penalty is an extreme solution, but most of the time, follows a principle that has been around for a long time. Sure, it gives them the "easy way out" but if you follow the "eye for an eye" rule set in ancient times, it is a very logical punishment for murder.

    Plus, a really good argument would be this: Prisons are getting overcrowded. Everywhere. USually for pitiful reasons. While taking out mose of the petty reasons would dramatically decrease the occupancy, you have to realize that the security is not infallible. Never was, and porbably won't be for a long time. There is always the possibility that someone will escape. Always has been. But the overcrowding makes it all the more risky. One murder, maybe, you can survive. But if you consciously kill another on purpose again, the chance of being killed yourself should increase. Basically a "3 strikes, you're out" kind of thing. After all. Serial killers/mass murderers tend to be the craftiest, and thus the prime people for the death penalty.

    After all, if there were a prison break, and there were no death penalty. All the murderers that did enough to "deserve" death will be able to continue to kill, thus putting many innocent people in danger.

    Here it is normally a punishment to dangle over your head. They believe if we know what COULD happen, we are less likely to do so. I guess it works to an extent, but most humans tend to have to learn the hard way to really get the lesson across.

    I don't really like it, but it is sometimes one of the only options available. So I have to deal with it. So again, this is just an analysis from someone on the fence.

    Ah yes a better solution. We could also just deport all the illegal immigrants instead of keeping them here to save money.

    I agree there. It's just silly that we only instantly deport the ones who came to the states to flee the law in their own country.

    Just like the Holocaust? Hooray. No, that's no good.

    Except the holocaust was when the nazi regeim put all the jews they could into concentration camps which were unsanitary, and generally evil places. Work camps would be so that they could earn there own room and board in prision, and could be optional if they wanted to have there family pay for it instead. the last part was just an idea i came up with.

    That was incredibly rascist.

    Not really. Tax money ends up going to support them as well, as well as jobs that legal citizens could use, especially in this economy. But that just stems up an off-topic debate so I will drop it there.

    Everyone deserves to live. Thats the most important law. It's working in my country. No death-sentences.

    Poland is smaller than America, and is relatively content with what it has. America is greedy and greed does bad things to a person's psyche. Like more people are imprisoned in California than most of Europe. What works in one place doesn't work everywhere. Never has. It's possible that it never will.
