Are you saying that in other words any crime regardless of how it was committed never deserves the death penalty?

Side: No

yes...the moral fact is, your reason for carrying out the death penalty is no better than the accused reasons for doing what ever they did.

your only goal should be to keep the person from ever committing such evil acts again WITHOUT stooping down to their level.

and dont any of you dipshits give me that BS about tax dollars and the costs of locking them up for life...bla bla bla

yes the system is totally fucked...and should be completely modified. i love the way they refer to it in america as "corrections"

if i were in charge, id make every prisoner do some kind of job (in their cell) for their room & board...they would be kept in a cage the entire time of their sentence...no socializing with other inmates...no chance of coming in contact with guards

if they dont work, they dont get fed or electricity/light, toilet paper.

if they piss and shit on the floor...make them live with it. if they refuse to work and die from starvation...so be it. id even go as far to say no medical attention for any inmate unless they can pay for it with their prison dollars earned from making stuffed animals/or what ever.

ive said this before and its so simple even the morons of this sites should understand it..."you cant teach future murderers that murder is wrong by murdering the murderers"

of course if you were to kill somebody in a matter of self defense/or protecting someone else...thats a different story.

Side: Yes

no because they can't control what they do people who are mentally right and do it for fun deserve to die

The death penalty should be administered to people who kill other people. This is a horrible question and you should be embarrassed for even thinking it.

Side: No
