xdarktigress It is far less expensive to just kill them off than to pay to have a bunch of criminals sit around and watch cable TV. No, prison isn't glamorous or fun like they show in movies or TV, but the fact that we pay to provide them with soft bedding, food and other luxuries is a problem (If I had it my way, we'd follow the Chinese way of dealing with prisoners. If the family doesn't bring them food, they starve to death.). Point being, its less expensive to kill them. Actually it is far more expensive to kill them than to let them rot in prison. We taxpayers end up paying for all their appeals, of which there are so many, which help to ensure we have caught the right person. Now, if we took those appeals away, we would be far less accurate on who commited the crime, but then your statement would be right, that it would be cheaper to kill them. But, the appeals are so very expensive, and that is what drives up the cost of killing the prisoner.

Appeals only cost money if we have to pay for the lawyers, which in most cases we don't.

just in my opinion, if you have done something that bad to deserve the death, then you don't deserve it. Death is much to forgiving for those kinds of people.

In anycase, I'm for the death penalty, as long as its humane and not cruel.

In anycase, I'm for the death penalty, as long as its humane and not cruel.not breaking their neck was the idea. thats only for stuff like the oklahoma city bombing, cause that b*****d set the bomb off right below the childcare. whatever that deserves, it wasnt a peaceful death like he got.

I think that the only reason for punishment/praise should be to try and modify behaviour.
If it is deemed impossible to modify this person's behaviour in a way that would allow them to function in a fair society, then it's fine to kill them.
Also, I think that nowadays there are ways to kill people that are completely painless, and leave the organs undamaged and able to be used.
If you say that life is precious, and therefore noone should ever be killed;
Well, why not just replace them with a new person?
Kill them, then have a child.

Contingent If it is deemed impossible to modify this person's behaviour in a way that would allow them to function in a fair society, then it's fine to kill them. Well, do you not think that a system like this could become easily corrupt? That it could eventually lead to something like a political purge? What about the mentally retarded, or those who have severe psychological problems? Quote: Also, I think that nowadays there are ways to kill people that are completely painless, and leave the organs undamaged and able to be used. We all have the idea that some death types are actually painless, but, in reality is that so? Have we any empirical evidence to suggest otherwise? Quote: If you say that life is precious, and therefore noone should ever be killed; Well, why not just replace them with a new person? Kill them, then have a child. Is that really the same as replacing a person?
