How do you feel about … the DEATH PENALTY? Should it be outlawed? (79)
No absolutely not, in fact it should be fine tuned.so that nobody on death row can die of old age.the way it is now in the usa. the person has to be in 100% healthy. you can litteraly have it post poned by giving urself a concussion or breaking ur arm. they use the humane excuse. the person's physical and/or mental health is not important. they should be terminated just like the victim.
Didi7: Never knew this Bod, thanks for the enlightenment.
You're welcome....
It's sometimes said the you can judge how civilised a country is by it's judicial system. (70% have abolished capital punishment.)
With that in mind, it's interesting to see how many countries still use the death penalty.
I think many of these would score quite low in the 'civilised league.'

Well, to be fair Bod, it may still be part of our legislation, but perhaps many of them are like my own country that doesn't really enforce that option.It's sometimes said the you can judge how civilised a country is by it's judicial system. (70% have abolished capital punishment.)

"In my country, it hasn’t been abolished, but it isn’t often pursued in the Law Courts. The last time it was enforced was in 1999." This was stated before...lonelytiger68: No absolutely not, in fact it should be fine tuned.so that nobody on death row can die of old age.the way it is now in the usa. the person has to be in 100% healthy. you can litteraly have it post poned by giving urself a concussion or breaking ur arm. they use the humane excuse. the person's physical and/or mental health is not important. they should be terminated just like the victim.
Lonely, you ain't 'mincing' words at all....
It's hard to clean up a charnel house let alone change one .
make the punishments git the crimes and it would have an actual impact.
3 hots and a cot is acceptable to many criminals. if they can't be an addition to society, they shouldn't be allowed to stay a burden either.

That's a bit 'cut & dry'; there's so much more to being or becoming criminal and that's why there will always be a case for 'rehabilitation'.3 hots and a cot is acceptable to many criminals. if they can't be an addition to society, they shouldn't be allowed to stay a burden either.

I have always been for the death penalty...lately I'm more for a reformed sentencing process...and harsher prison time, I.e...too many privileges, and I do believe that hard labour should make a strong return to be honest....you dont learn by getting alot of pleasures that you shouldn't have on the inside...I believe serious hard labour would make people think more than sitting in from of a psychiatrist ever would...
There are some cases where I do feel that the individual is so far far from reform and rehabilitation and who continue to commit crimes on the inside that yes in very few circumstances I feel the death penalty is right.. but I'm more for hard labour than anything else...

Yes Deedee, I see your point. In their attempt at making the jail time experience more humane, the policy makers have been TOO lenient. Hard labour does have therapeutic and teaching properties that can be more suitable than sessions with a psychologist, and reflect more of what 'punishment' should look and feel like.Name_Taken_Two: Just a heads up Deedee, you won't get an answer as you are asking "Harb" and he's already got banned for being obnoxious..
Oh!!!! Doesn't sound like Harb ,but I'll take your word for it... the devil never learns lol

actually. a lot of it is. easier today than ever before with all of the phone cams and such.And, by the way, it isn't an easy feat to determine which punishment truly "fits" the crime either.
it is cut and dry. you murder some one. you shouldn't be allowed to be a burden on society. other habitual offenses warrant the same. take the case of the 72 year old recently beaten to death with a road cone. start it now, less kids will be likely to repeat, once the perpetrators are found.
too many things get a slap on the wrist. crime isn't getting better, it's getting worse. why is that? do nothing prosecutors, lenient judges. why should crime become less when nothing is going to happen any way? when it does, society gets another burden that can run into the millions of dollars over time.
basically. a person can be murdered over just about anything and that's okay.
to make muderers and other certain habitual crimes, cease from being a threat to society is not okay.

This is true...sadlyto make muderers and other certain habitual crimes, cease from being a threat to society is not okay.
I suspect opposing the death penalty is one of those liberal tenets that is a bit like being sure you would have joined the French resistance. It's expedient to say you are a liberal so I don't think it necessarily means fair trial although of course people love public hanging when there is no chance of a fair trial.

The financial argument for the death penalty just doesn't stand up to scrutiny......
"Much to the surprise of many who, logically, would assume that shortening someone's life should be cheaper than paying for it until natural expiration, it turns out that it is actually cheaper to imprison someone for life than to execute them. In fact, it is almost 10 times cheaper! How can that be?"
