"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?

Who?

Shouldn't you be in school?

Failing that, make murder a crime and fire all murderers into the sun from a massive cannon. Regardless of them being mental and wrongwrong.

Morning kids! I've just woke up and am about to eat the largest fry up in the history of heart-bursting breakfasts.

Umm... if he has killed alot of kids, as far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter if he "ran out of pills", he is still guilty and still deserves to die.

Killing off the product of society's problems will ensure that we never learn the root causes, and manage to stamp them out. If you kill murderers, you'll always be killing murderers. If you find out what makes them murderers, and prevent them from murdering in the first place, eventually there will be no murderers to discuss.

I dont know why he was there but it has happened, and I think it stupid for someone to say, "you can never be 100% sure that he is guilty" especialy when there were witnesses.

Sure you cant always be sure, but its not as high as 100%!

But, does he have a history of mental illness ? Was this treated, who treated him and why was he in the community ? And so on...guilt is subjective.

A man walks into a school shoots inocent kids, lots of witnesses and you can't be sure of his gilt? (this has happened)

I'm with RoJ.

I'm in favour, just as long as I'm not on the receiving end.

But seriously,No.
If you believe murder is wrong then you must also believe the death penalty is wrong, for what is the death penalty but state sanctioned murder.
Then there's the possibility of an innocent being executed, and then there's the possibility of corruption or misuse of the system. No. We're not barbarians, are we?

Actually, this is good sense. Bring back the old days when they were used on roads etc to fix them up, it would do wonders for the roads, considering the shape they are in. Well where I live anyway.
