"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?

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.

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.

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.

Shouldn't you be in school?

So you've no interest in finding out WHY this happened in order to prevent it happening again?

Also, you've picked the most extreme example possible to justify the death penalty. Which is fair enough, except that if you don't mind me saying so, your bloodlust for the death penalty is palpable.
Whilst I agree that the death penalty should be used in extreme circumstances (serial killers etc as I detailed earlier, and even then only after they've been thoroughly studied), you seem to be using an extreme example to justify use of the death penalty on a wider scale. Am I correct in that assumption, or have I misunderstood what you're saying?

Oh. Farewell good citizens I am away to play some games and unwind.

You have misunderstood. Not everyone who commits a murder should be killed, but those that commit the most depraved and serial killers and so forth should suffer capital punishment. And it is all very well, but I don't see how you can prevent murderers from killing again, or anyone from killing at all. As long as this world exists there will always be murders and killings.
