Death Penalty

Like Jessifer said, it all depends on your viewpoint of what is moral and unmoral.

But in some cases, it is very justified. This is a true story: A postal worker had been fed up with his job, life, etc and decided to take it out on people that were of a different race, color than him. He went on a killing spree in his truck shooting and killing people that were minding their own business, ie: a Korean grocery store clerk, a couple of black guys walking down the road, etc etc.

This guy definitely deserved the death penalty. If you think you're that high and mighty that you can make the ultimate decision and take somebody's life, really the ONLY thing a person has, you deserve the same upon you. An eye for an eye.

Whether that is justified is in fact an opinion.

By your logic, you should deserve the death penalty because "you think you're that high and mighty that you can make the ultimate decision and take somebody's life."

I thought the same thing.

Umm.. no? I would never take somebody's life, therefore excluding me from the death penalty. I wouldn't be pulling the switch, either. I said an eye for an eye.

You think it's alright for you to make that decision, though.

No. I wouldn't be the one directly making the decision. I see what you're getting at but that's just getting way too technical.

I don't see how. You're saying it's wrong for the guy to think he should be able to make the decision to take someone's life, yet you're then saying it's alright for someone else to do the same thing.

How does that not make sense? He kills someone, you say that nobody has the right to take someone's life, so we should kill him for doing so? There's a flaw in that logic.

That's a retard way to take it, K_A.

Funny note, (ot): I seen a woman today with a bumper sticker that said..well actually, here's a picture.



Eventually I got up to her at a stop light and she kept staring over at my car, so I roll the window down and tell her that I noticed her bumper sticker, she replies, ohh yeah? And i'm like yeah, the death penalty also stops a beating heart, dumbass, the same thing you guys don't have any problem supporting..

She called me a jackoff democrat and sped off, it was funny.

I should also add, I'm also against the death penalty because of the fact that it is irreversable. If you unknowingly put an innocent man to death, and you later find out that he was in fact not guilty, you can't make up for that.

Much better to keep people alive and in prison for the rest of their lives. This gives innocent people at least a chance of getting their life partially back, and in my opinion is a worse punishment for murder than death. Death is a pretty pointless punishment, once someone is dead they no longer care about the fact that they are being killed. You keep someone alive and they have to not only live with the fact that they killed someone but they also have to live with the fact that they are going to spend the rest of their life in prison.

Honestly, if I were told I had to choose between life in prison or death, I would take death, without giving it so much as a thought.

I'm pretty sure that most states have a required sentence time on Death Row before killing their inmates, specifically to ensure that the case is closed.
