The Death Penalty

Is the death penalty constitutional?

[The G Rebellion]

YES DAMNIT!

[kor]

If the crime fits the punishment, then yes. The law of the land is the Golden rule. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. So if you murder someone you're asking for the same. Under Constitutional law there's two basic rules. Don't harm anyone and don't infringe on another's rights.

I really like the idea that it should exsist, but it shouldn't be used unless it is one of the most disgusting crimes.  Plus I feel DNA evidence HAS to be included for it to happen (plus other evidence of course)

I'm not really sure if the death penalty is morally right, but it's not unconstitutional.  In terms of the method used, I don't understand the emphasis on painlessness.  If you're against causing pain to a condemned prisoner, why do you support putting him to death?

Eye for an eye. No more, no less. How is that hard to understand? The whole DNA has to be included is kinda silly. DNA evidence can be falsified just as easily as anything else.

Is it morally right to murder someone? Do the crime and you should face the penalty for your actions. I personally don't care what the method would be. Firing squad is just as good. Whatever gets the penalty done.

i am not agenst the death penalty for any it unmoral or any of that bs i just think that they are getting the easy way out i would rather watch the sob rot in prison for the rest of their life in a small cell by themself

Not a bad idea but why pay for it?

If the crime is bad enough I am for it.

[Of Crazed]

Well, maybe not DNA, but there should at least be more evidence required to get the death penalty, over the evidence required to get a guilty verdict.

I should clarify, I didn't say it definitely is immoral in every case that the state puts someone to death.  I said I'm not sure about it.  It's a complicated issue.

I agree with you about the method - if we're passing a death sentence on someone, he's going to end up dead and buried whether we shoot chemicals into his bloodstream, hang him or shoot him.  People who comfort themselves with the fact that the  method of execution used is physically painless are missing the point entirely.

its cheaper to leave them in jail cause of the extra court cost and the 10+ years they will be in anyway and the acutal exicution than to kill them and it will give them a chance to maybe leave something positive (of course  not letting them out ever)

How is life in prison cheaper than a bullet?

[dragonjasmine]

depending on the idea.

[Mahasoor]

I am pro-death penalty.

[Space Raider]

I hope it's not too painful........ Ouch, none of those. Well, the fish wouldn't hurt much.
