To lie can also bring joy, remember back when we were kids. We were told about Santa Claus which brought/brings much joy all around the world.

Were on this earth for one reason, to die. It the words of Bon Jovi "were just born, to die".

23 hours a day in a tiny cell for your entire life to me would be torture, far far worse than simply 'going to sleep' and not waking up.

Whats inefficient about it, its cheaper and causing them more suffering and punishment.

Your question was what makes rape worse than murder, not whats more mentally disturbing rape or seeing a mutilated parent.

It costs $90,000 dollars a year to keep someone imprisoned, it costs $37 million dollars for an execution. It wastes far more money killing them because what punishment are they recieving, none really. They get 'put to sleep' there's no punishment or suffering which they deserve, life imprisionment with no chance of release can.

I started a debate about a week ago and have entered into another debate on the same topic, this will be the third. In all three i make the same agruments.

Personally I think the Death Penalty is getting off easy. Given the choice of having to spend my entire life in prison or the Death Penalty I'd choose the Death Penalty any day of the week.

Another reason I would not favour the Death Penalty is, it costs on average $90,000 dollars a year however it costs near $37 million dollars to execute a person.

If it was a simple and cheap procedure I'd perhaps agree however when a state is paying $37 million for one execution I simply cannot agree with.

For the people i'm talking about on Death row such as the ones you've mentioned: serial killers, terrorists, violent criminals, etc my argument is not to lock them up for a sentence and let them out at the end of it. It would be imprisonment until they die. Thats a punishment far worse than Death.

I think the simple fact they are children makes the difference. They are far more vunerable and incapable of defending themselves than adults. Its worse than murder for the simple fact that they have to live with it every single day of their lives often causing mental problems such as depression therefore the offence isnt a one off but one that cant haunt you and effect you your entire life.

"I object to the cost" I also object the cost its ridiculous. A firing line should be used and eliminate all these costs. However i disagree with it being used more frequently for the simple fact they need to be punished and suffer the consequences of their actions. As i previously stated just being killed is an easy way. If i was offered the option of the Death Penalty or life inprisonment i would choose the Death Penalty every time for the simple reason its over in a flash with little or no suffering whereas life imprisonment actually punishes the criminal for his actions.
