I don't promote universal human rights and the "humane" killing of animals. If you remember I suggested that all aid to Africa should be stopped and let them try to survive themselves. I don't say that all people killed by police and soldiers deserve to die but why where they being shot at the first place? most likely they had started the shooting. and soldiers usually kill people during wars. And I don't say that we just kill some random dude. first there is investigation to determinate whether or not the accused is guilty or not. And I don't say that they should be simply because they are a burden to society. but if we should save money the easiest and best solution would be to kill prisoner's.

studies show that exacting revenge on someone who has done so mutch damage is healthy for society.

I was talking about society in general.

What about the civilians killed in the crossfire, or mistakenly identified as an enemy, or sadistically killed for entertainment?

OK, let's see. You are suggesting we should allow this person who will not stop killing people to have the opportunity to either escape from prison or get let out for good behavior. As previously stated; by dying, they're released from all constraints of this. Whether you believe in an immortal soul in which the person would be relieved from any pain or suffering in life, or, if you don't believe that; in which case their consciousness is ended, their pain released. As I stated before, the death penalty should be used, not as a punishment for that person, but as a preventative measure to stop the taking of lives. And should only be used in the most severe of cases of those psychologically unable to remove themselves from this behavior, and are aware of themselves and their surroundings. Regarding those sadistically killed for entertainment, this falls into the line of my explanation.

No, thats not what im suggesting. Someone convicted for murder (or similar) would presumably be in high security, which would preclude them escaping. And ive already said in this thread, that if someone receives a live sentence, it should mean life - So they have no opportunity for early release, or probation/parole.

Meyer · « **Reply #26 on:** March 07, 2008, 04:29:53 PM »

and that's the worst case for society. they have to support that bastards living.

Accidents happen, someone could escape if either security starts to relax around him (as in the guards, not the methods) or he could just be plain better than the security. And I'm not saying use it on ANY murder case. Someone killing someone else, but only that one person, should be locked up. Someone who doesn't care who his target is will continue to be a danger if left alive.

meyer, where do you deem death penalty to be necessary at the least?

Isamu · « **Reply #29 on:** March 07, 2008, 09:57:19 PM »

some people really think the death penalty is horrible. the usa is one of the few countries with it.

I think that at least murderers and rapists should be killed. and maybe some who are convicted to life. But I also have an idea that all crimes would be punishable by the death. that should lower the criminality.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #32 on:** March 08, 2008, 04:43:43 AM »

what about manslaughter?

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #33 on:** March 08, 2008, 05:15:25 AM »

While I agree with executing murderers and rapists, anyone else doesn't fall into that category for me, Meyer. And, as I said, only for those who will do it again.

Meyer · « **Reply #34 on:** March 08, 2008, 05:27:49 AM »

well they do for me.

Isamu · « **Reply #35 on:** March 08, 2008, 12:35:31 PM »

manslaughter is by accident so i don't think the death penalty applies.

Meyer · « **Reply #36 on:** March 08, 2008, 01:33:46 PM »

not if it's self defense.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #37 on:** March 08, 2008, 01:38:49 PM »

recently in the uk, there was a case of a thief who had been terrorising as neighbourhood gor a decade and stealing over

Isamu · « **Reply #38 on:** March 08, 2008, 06:09:46 PM »

if it is self denfense that is okay.

The death penalty should be incurred for those with 'evil' intent, but then agaain, how can one be truly sure if it WAS evil intent that drove someone to commit crime, and not neccessity? In my opinion though, rapists and murderers do what they do either for the pleasure of doing it, or for revenge, and both are entirely unsupported, so that is my opinion.
