Death/Life in jail is a torn issue for me. If the person is sentanced to the death penalty, chances are they DESERVE to live in a 8x8 cell for the rest of their expanded life in solitude. But on the other hand, it's a big *** waste of taxpayer money...so whatever. Off 'em.

no, if you're sentenced to death, you will have 48 hours left. You'll get a decent steak dinner, a hooker with full-blown Aids, and a warm beer. After that, you're ***. You won't get the chair, you'll stand in front of a squad of 6 men, all armed with machetes dipped in acid, and that is how it ends.
fat ninja edit: only reason why deathrow inmates live for 15+ years is case of the countless appeals they file.

I can somewhat understand this, but for minor crimes only. Doing petty stuff to get locked away for awhile is one thing, but when they go on some wild killing spree and then play the "woe-is-me, I've got nothing left" card...I say put 'em on a firing range and have at it.

Murder is wrong, no matter what the reason.
Rather see the person get aid in fixing their "problems"

No, by killing the person for killing another, that is murder in my books.
No life should be taken. That's just me, though. I believe in second chances and helping.

the hooker got kidnapped from Thailand where 85% of the women there have full-blown Aids, it saves us money.
Celene, you're right, murder is wrong, that's why murderers pay for what they did.

Ninja edit: Besides if it makes you feel better you can look at it like government assisted suicide. We say if you go out killing people we kill you and you go out in do it clearly you want to die. Like those people that force cops to shot them

Yes, murder by definition is certainly wrong, but I also feel that there are some crimes where sitting in a jail cell just isn't going to cut it. Or where a person is simply beyond rehabilitation. What do we do in those situations? Let the person free on a second, third, fourth, 20th chance and continue to hope for the best with continued assistance, despite the constant failed attempts?

thats why women don't run the world, they too soft and won't do what is necessary for the greater good.

I believe the punishment should fit the crime.
If not the death penalty, then some seriously painful, prolonged, and permanent-handicap inflicting torture. Then leave you in a cell to rot.
Edit: with 3 very low-nutrition meals per day.

I don't think people should be killed, but if some person is running around killing like 2+ people, I think that said person needs to be taken off of the face of the earth.

Aly is part of the minority of "cool chicks"
Yes, life is important, but what happens when someone causes harm to others, that one bad apple trying to infect the rest of the good apples in the basket?
Of course, it depends on the crime committed. High level drug dealers, serial killers, rapists, sociopaths, yeah they deserve the chair, or the firing squad.
People like me are the ones who don't let *** like that run amok. We catch'em, we convict'em, then we KILL'EM.

The truth of the matter is both opinions are needed depending on circumstance. If we all felt one way about this subject it would be messed up regardless of whether or not you believe in the death penalty or you believe in second chances. ^^

I never said anything about not catching them, nor making them serve some kind of time, killing them however, going too far. No one wants "bad" people running around like that. Should just stash em all on an island, and let nature take its course. <.<

I don't think all of us are as heartless as we are sounding here. Of course people believe in second chances, and I'm sure we can all agree that life is precious in any form.
On the other hand; I think we are all of the same mind that second chances aren't going to work for everyone. Can some change? Of course. Do they? Not often.

Idc what the situation 99% of the time I'm gonna place the good of the many over the 1. I'm not gonna let someone kill hundreds just cause I'm too much of a coward to stop them. And even if I was I'd still let someone else stop them

It's ok Celene, we'll release the schizophrenic pyschopaths in your neighborhood and we'll tell'em you don't believe in the death penalty, they'll thank you for letting them live.

Obviously it was overlooked... But...
Celene, say someone kills your family slowly and brutally in front of you, forcing you to watch them die and listen to their screams of agony. Still believe in second chances?
And.. An island for criminals... Gee, that sounds familiar.. Oh wait, that was Australia.

it costs about $2500 to keep ONE INMATE alive per day.
You know how much money we'll save if we just killed the deathrow inmates?
They won't have a chance to file appeals, that ***will keep them alive for another 15 years.
