"The Death Penalty"

Who agrees with the Death Penalty. I perosnally would like to see it come back for cases of Murder, Child molesering and so on. I know people say yo can get the wrong guy, but if complex detective worked is first carried out, I belive that all the Sickos should get fried! Whats you guys opinions?

What about jealousy, partner beating, greed, moments of rage etc? There is no one motive for murder, and to link all murder to drugs and peer pressure is nothing short of ignorance.

I think some of teh problems that lead to such crimes are probably either Drugs or peer pressure. I would not put a young kid (like the Bulger case) on death row becuase they are not fully devolped and they MIGHT change. Therefore, mabye only repeat offenders, or serial killers should get death sentacnes.

The deatgh sentance is hard subject to discuss, perhaps teh hardest, as there are many possible different opinions and beliefs

And no matter how harsly you punish them, you'll never bring that person back to life either. Not all murders are calculated cold-blooded killings.

If someone kills, does that mean they should be punished for the rest of their life?

Revenge is essentially petty. On a larger scale, it's just easier to justify, that's all. I'm not saying forgive and forget, but the justice system shouldn't be based on the desire of victims of crime to see people suffer.

The Bible also teaches forgiveness. Funny how that little message gets forgotten, isn't it?

Does the bible not also state "turn the other cheek"?

So on one hand it advocates revenge to be the answer to wrong doing, and on the other says not to be baited by such aggressive behaviour?

a 2000 year old religion is hardly an intelligent basis on how to run modern society. A life for a life is a stupid concept. Just ending lives superfluously just because someoneelse did something wrong is pathetic. Instead we need to better understand WHY these people do such things, and irradicate the problems that lead to such crimes in the first place.

Naughtygirl is not a bad thing, in fact it is to be positively encouraged.
Badboy is medium wrongwrong, to be slightly less than a wickedchild yet a droplet more than an awful.

I agree on the 2 wrongs part. But I believe that the death sentance is not murder. Becuase the murderer etc is getting punished. many relgious people agree 23 becuase in the bible it says "An eye fro an eye and a tooth for a tooth" meaing that whatver you do, say kill someone, you get it doen back to you, ie: Get killed.

Neither are as terrible as a badboy of course...

what about a naughtygirl?
