Re: are you in for or against the death penalty
their are to many now with mental illnisses etc being locked up in prisons now
what is happening with them when they are let out?
just my opinion but our whole judicial system needs to be looked at and refreshed totally
but then of course for more who wants to pay for everything

Re: are you in for or against the death penalty
I opened this thread with trepidation - fearing to find lots baying for blood. I am pleased to see our community, thus far, tilts largely against state sanctioned murder.

Re: are you in for or against the death penalty
You and the ironic statements again..............................
Look at what happened in Australia - Britain sent the convicts there and those convicts turned around and perpetrated their criminal acts on others less able to defend themseves. I like Carlin's solution though:

Re: are you in for or against the death penalty
I'm opposed to the death penalty on three grounds.
- the risk of putting any innocent person to death is simply not acceptable, far too many sad examples over the years.
- any country which professes to be Christian or to uphold Christian values should not revert to the Old Testament stance of "an eye for an eye". That is revenge, not justice.
- I find the concept of judicial murder every bit as repulsive as the crime of murder itself.
But pleasures are like poppies spread
You seize the flow'r, the bloom is shed

Re: are you in for or against the death penalty
I am for the death penalty on reservations.
I am torn on this issue. I can understand what Robert says about putting to death an innocent person but on the other hand there are so many evil, very evil people that,, well,, need to be killed. I think of some of the abusers I ran into as a young person and I do have evil thoughts of wanting them dead. Whether I could really see that happen, I probably couldn't,,, I get upset when I see a dead animal run over by a car.
I'm the girl nobody knows until she commits suicide.
Then suddenly everyone knew me.
