Really? Are you adding in the court cost and everything?

Again Roxsy, Religiously, or Politically?

Well, it all depends on whatever you wish to say. I stress my point that I only want to know other people's point of view on this situation. Let me clarify my question a little bit more. Give me your point of view, both politcally and religiously, on what side of DP you stand on. I only want to hear what you think. No debates of any kind, just opinion.

Which is cool, but since my opinions differ based on religious and political stand points, it's impossible for me to answer the poll.

Religously I'm not sure what I think. Execution is not the same as murder, but it's the death of a person all together. I wouldn't want to be the one executing.

I wudn't mind. So long as you gave me one of these

Tee he he

This is the most sadistic form of punishment that I have ever heard of. This is SICK!

It is an economic alternative to life inprisonment. If properly handled (meaning public executions rather than doing it in secret as is now often the case in many countries) it can also act as a powerful deterrent for would be criminals.

So yes, I'm in favour of it though not as a penalty for everything. It should be reserved for those cases where the alternative would have been a life sentence (or the equivalent, some countries don't lock people up for more than a specific time for economic reasons, then let them loose on society once more to commit more crimes).

And there should not be the decades long appeals process that there is now in the US for example.
The old addage, charge them at noon, convict them at teatime, hang them at dawn, works quite well.

I am all for the deal penalty. If you kill someone, you should be killed.
People will think twice about murdering anyone if they know that they will be put to death if they do so.

I think the death penalty actually saves lives.

I am against the idea of death panelty. When the penalty is performed, that person is killed at in instant and doesn't suffer. Even execution with suffering does not cut it. There is nothing worse then life without hope. So life in prison is the best (the worst?) punishment there is for somebody who commited murder. They will suffer for many years before they die.

Also, many innocent people were executed, and thats a fact (do your reaserch its all I can say). Imagine that there will be just ONE innocent person executed EVER...oh yeah and that person is YOU. How do you feel now?

The idea of public execution has no place in a civilized society. Its barbaric, and immoral.
