are you pro-capital punishment or anti-capital punishment? why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it depends really. i think its used way too much, and with out enough evidence. like people who get charged of crimes, but the trial isnt like an obvious conviction, but more because the person is poor, and cant get a good lawyer etc. but in some cases, like if we find the sniper in DC, and we are 100% sure its him, then i say kill him. |
||||||||

anti. simply said, it comes down to this: you cannot say to someone who has killed a person: "you cannot kill a person, it is bad" and then do that exact same thing. also (I've said this before in the sniper-thread), you can only implement a capital punishment-system if you have a judicial system which is 100% fool-proof. I mean, if there's a mistake made you can't bring someone back from the grave. |

I'm against, because I feel that someone who is fit to be tried as an adult and sentenced to death is old enough to have a huge amount of society's time and effort (education etc.) invested in her/him. I'd prefer to see some form of rehabilitation that would allow us to reclaim that investment, like personality wiping, or organ harvest. Children, on the other hand, have very little invested in them... it ought to be legal to terminate a child up until the age of say three or four. |

thought of another one: how would capital punishment help? if I remember rightly, murder figures haven't dropped in the US because of the existance of capital punishment, so as a deterrant it doesn't work.. what rests is, revenge. not good. |
||||||||
|
|

I agree that too many people get sentenced without absolute proof of the charge, but I think more important, or at least equally is exactly how qter puts it. |

KILL EM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

against Whenever i read something about people who get the death penalty it gives me a strange feeling. I feel like mankind (as a species altogether) steps onto very dark terrain when we decide to end other peoples lives. Only a very sick individual would ever do something like that --> a murderer. But if we then proceed to murder him... are we really any better? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i say life imprisonment instead so they can live with what they've done, it makes no sense to kill em, cuz what qrter said, and cuz then they can't think about it if they're gone. |

thats a nice message to read with George smiling at us next to it.. :) |

|
|
and MARLOWE.. what do you think yourself..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no opinion, thus posting this was rather pointless |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is no justice reached when a criminal is murdered by the government. only, like qter points out, a sick indulgence in revenge. the crime still occured and another person is murdered. |

I'm against, Alex. |

I agree with the death penalty |

it's amazing how many people respond to this avatar :-p George Costanza must have really reached people on a very deep emotional level! Someone should write an essay on him or something... what is it about George? Do people recognise a little piece of him in themselves? And it's working out GREAT for me ;-) I'm starting to feel more like george every day. |

hurray! hurray! get yourself some hay dipped in Stella (ask flea). btw, who is this in your avatar? |

against if the punishment is supposed to be seen as a deterrant (which i presume it is), exactly what sort of deterrant is death? what a cop out! intoduce 40 years hard labour, make prisoners work for us, put them on a big wheel and make the generate electricity or something. |

I am pro if the proof is concrete.. but I see too many innocents convicted of murder..so in this flawed system..Iam anti |

|
|
haha zeus is pro-killing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm 100% anti-killing why would anyone want to be scared into not killing, anyways? |
||||||||

I certainly recognise parts of myself in George. I was just thinking about this (strange coincidence): I actually like all of the 4 main characters on Seinfeld. normally you have a favourite, but on this show it kind of switches all the time. well.. maybe, Seinfeld himself is the least appealing of them all.. |

....AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! |

My avatar is in transition - I just changed it, but it still has my old one, of some kind of goblin thing - my new one is/will be Mick Travis, lead character in If.... |

my avatar is anti- head and shoulders. i have a new set of nuts, thanks to them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah thats another point.. people are probably scared of the death penalty, but most of the ones who plan it, do try to NOT get caught.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Murder is illegal so murdering criminals who are allready in prison should be too. I can understand if the victim takes revenge as an emotional response but this shouldn't apply in a justice system. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
oh okay.. now I see.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep |

|
|

i think marlowe is absolutely right about everything, actually. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he mostly is, you know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can never bring myself to thinking deeply about the capital punishment. it seems somehow unreal, so it's easier to ignore it totally. i tend to block out nasty things like this. that makes me a bit blue-eyed :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would really like to read why one of the people who is pro-death penalty thinks that we should kill certain criminals? Tell us your reasons please :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he entirely is |

|
|

oh you guys :D |

jerry himself is by far the least-interesting character for me. But that's cool. One of the characters needs to be a little more neutral. If all the characters would have been equally funny, it would have been too much. Often jerry's reaction to something george are kramer does is what makes george and kramer so funny :-) And indeed i did choose george as my avatar because i recognised certain aspects of him in myself ;-) His life has never been easy, and yet he keeps trying to make something of it... you've just got to admire that :-p |

we're all smart sheep to the slaughter :D |

haha "to the slaughter".. now i see chris' intentions! |

HAHA |

anti 100%, you cant kill anyone just because they killed too. basically what most of you said already. people who say they dont have an opinion should get an opinion on this. if more people were against it we wouldnt have it anymore. usa is the only country that has capital punishment(right?). united states has to be the most corrupt country in history. |

Chris says: its just that people think he's some sort of godlike being...and he's so wrong Chris says: ....when he says jump...the rest of you say "how high?" Niggals says: cuz hes fuckign smart Niggals says: not really Niggals says: we say "how why?" |
||||||||
|
|

I am George! hes gotta be the best tv character ever/ i am so like george in many ways too. i think jerry is supposed to be the least funny on the show. jerry is the framework which all the rest work around, without him theres nothing. |
||||||||
|
|

Niggals says: i wont say shit promise you wont hear from it again Niggals says: tell me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

usa is absolutely not the only country that sentences people to death! Infact, other countries kill criminals much faster, and for smaller crimes. |
