      I agree with DIG completely. I don't see a valid reason for someone to live if they can kill another human being. If we let them live, what is that saying? That it's okay, and you'll just sit in jail where you get 3 meals a day and a bed to sleep in. Things they don't deserve. Just because they give the death sentence to a murderer, doesn't mean they're going to deal the death sentence out like it's candy. As long as it's only used in extreme circumstance like with murderers, I see no issues.

      [FONT=&quot]In 1788 Governor Philip decided on the death sentence for Thomas Barrett. Tom was hanged for steeling food from the public stores.[/FONT]

      [FONT=&quot]But have no fear you can shoplift as much as you can, there is Governor Philip no more and you can pull out gun along the way for a more exciting TV news if you get recorded on CCTV surveillance. [/FONT]




      [FONT=&quot]We don’t have money to sustain capital punishment and it's more financially viable to commit the murderer to life imprisonment. What about the victim of alleged crime? What victim, we are talking money here![/FONT]

      [FONT=&quot]According to various polls in Australia (which are equivocal in my opinion) the capital punishment is inhumane punishment under the human rights aegis of torture, and that it is not deterrent because the murderer doesn't think about the consequences when he chokes his wife to death, for example.[/FONT]

      [FONT=&quot]I mean, way would someone think about the consequences of their crime when they have no fear of loosing their own life. They are right, the law is not really deterrent at all.[/FONT]




      [FONT=&quot]The police and the courts are fallible institutions but we have DNA as a crime solving tool so we can free the innocent. And another misconception of the State being no better then the convicted murder for administering the capital sentence and turning into the murderer itself is so false as to be meaningless.[/FONT]

      I think ethically speaking, humans have no right to judge whether another person lives or dies. As lame as it sounds, I remember reading something by Tolkien that really stuck with me. It was something about how if you don't have the power to give life back to the dead, what gives you the right to take life away from someone?

      My friend came up with thus idea. We could reintroduce the death sentence, but judges are held criminally responsible for their decisions.

      So basically if someone was executed and later proven innocent the judge who passed the sentence could be tried for murder and executed.

      I still personally say that no human should assume the right to take another's life.

      Not to mention the fact that proving guilt is impossible.

      Thoughts on my friend's idea?

      Is it?

      On this train of thought, no person should ever be incarcerated or punished.

      In the US someone that is on death row may live another twenty years because they have so many appeals. In my opinion I think we should lessen those by a lot so it goes quicker.

      Also to me it seems to cost more for us to keep them in jail than just killing them quickly it isn't like all the cops have guns already so just put them in front of a firing squad.

      Also can anyone give another reson why we shouldn't put them to death other than that one person should not have the power to take another person's life?

      Murdering someone else doesn't fix anything. By killing them, your not bringing the victim back to life, your not un-doing what happened, your not making anyone happy, your just killing someone else, in a vain attempt to give yourself closure. I thought punishment was to help broken people get themselves together and help them realise what they've done and deter them from making the same mistakes, how does injecting a lethal dose help?

      Well, it certainly prevents them from making the same mistakes...

      Oh no, it's murder that's "Justified", whatever the fuck that means.

      There is a legal definition of justifiable homicide. It's really not that bad and rarely used.

      Theres a big difference between a legal definition, and what's morally right. Eh, that's just my idea.

      Like I said, it's really not that bad (morally, too). It basically states you were in mortal danger or prolonged danger and there was no other way to end it except killing the person(s) doing it to you. I'm paraphrasing heavily here, but you get the idea. Like I said, it's not used very often.

      Let them rot in jail. I am sure some prisoners would rather be killed than spend their life there.


      Besides, an eye for an eye turns the whole world blind. Or something like that.


      Sure that is a simple resolution but there are only so many jail cells. And jails are already overcrowded.
