tongue NewbieAs for what happened in Connecticutt, I had heard about that and thought it was despicable. Those guys probably deserve to get the needle. I don't think CT has the death penalty, though, so they'll be living on the dime of Connecticuttians for the remainder of their lives unfortunately.

i agree. well said, guys

well, i don't really know were i stand...America is one of the only industrialized country's that still practices the death penalty, and surely everybody can't be wrong...then again they often are. i suppose that if someone is a major threat to our community-pedophiles, serial killers, rapist, chain killers...the natural state of humans is to follow the rules set by society and, obey the social norm, which mean any criminals are just people who deviate slightly from the socail norm, and the only way a visionary can be made is by deviating from there natural culture, so really a monster, is a visionary, and is it right to kill the people who just don't happen to follow the cultural norm? or is it right to let the killers take up space, and eat food, breath air when really life sentence prison is a nightmare...maybe it's better to off them...so yea I'm undecided...

tongue NewbieI'd say that if someone shows enough blatant disrespect for human life- like killing 30 teenage boys and hiding them in your basement like John Wayne Gacy- it's an appropriate punishment to make them feel the pain they've inflicted.

i agree with tongue

I agree with the death sentence. I think they should use it more to stop crime escalating. If it was used more freely, less people would commit crime. It's like in places in Dubai (as Ilm could testify) they still cut your hands off for pickpocketing and they don't have much crime there.
My friend's cousin said he lost his wallet there with all his credit cards, personal ID, bank statements, debit cards etc. and he'd lost it in a taxi cab so he gave up hope (seeing how many taxis are taken each day, it's well over 400). Well he found out the taxi driver had been looking for him all week to give him it back.
Who in the western hemisphere would do that? I think it works. -
well, maybe it could be feasible but not as a form of retribution or revenge...the fact is if you kill, for no good reason really, then whoever did it is messed up. anybody that crazy doesn't need to be punished they need help...only given the fact that 9 out 10 murderers are the ones on parole for another murder, then it's pretty safe to say that as a rule they will never change so i suppose humane death...lethal injection...

I agree with everything everyone said up above!!!

I'm against it.

tongue NewbieI think civility is more important than deterance- it's a little brutal to cut off peoples' hands for pickpocketing.

tongue Newbie@Bambi: I'm a little confused as to how you can support corporal punishment yet think that private ownership of firearms should be banned.

Quite easily, tongue.

If we were more harsh on crime to begin with we'd be a safer society.
