April 26, 200620 yr Why not? If you think they deserve today then the only thing that would really stop you is if it wasn't affordable. You are making the assumption that everyone is debating whether or not it's wrong. If I think that it's perfectly fine to execute criminals who were proven guilty through a long judicial process, the only thing that would stop me was whether or not it was a good use of tax payers money. Deciding weither it's a good way to use the tax payer's money is something else. I said that Death penalty shouldn't be applied just because it is cheaper.

If someone doesn't think there are any moral implications to executing criminals they have to decide which method of punishment is better. If a life sentence in jail is more expensive than execution and you believe that both are on equal moral footing, why can't money be the deciding factor? Obviously the death penalty should only be applied in cases where the court deems it a fair punishment, but we're not talking specific cases - we're talking about the death penalty in general.
April 27, 200620 yr . They should also be allowed a few minutes before to make their peace with both god and themselves. In other words they should be well treated. That's, what I hate. Say some guy breaks into your house/store (if you have one) and take your money. Then as they're leaving they shoot your friend/family member and kill them. There, I want that son of a b***h to suffer a load lot of pain. To suffer for killing my friend/family member.

April 27, 200620 yr There, I want that son of a b***h to suffer a load lot of pain. To suffer for killing my friend/family member. How will that solve anything though? Will killing someone else make everything OK for you and bring the friend/family member back to life? Wanting someone else dead, and doing it, is really just as bad as killing someone in the firstplace. PDM PDM
