Death Penalty

Well, I'm sure you're all familiar with the death penalty, and I'm sure you all have heard about at least one person who was sentenced to death.

In one hand, the death penalty helps "clean up" prisons so that they won't overflow with people, but don't you think it's a little hypocritical that they give murders the death penalty? Sure, it demonstrates to society the potential punishment that could arise from committing any crime, and may make people think twice about committing crimes, but does not teach any moral lessons to the one(s) who received the death sentence

Now, do you think it is fair, or morally correct, to purposefully put someone to death? Are you indifferent about the subject? Is it inhumane and cruel? What are your thoughts on this topic?

Enjoy debating.

Well if it was common in western nations I would support it as the trial is open and fair. But countries like China (often) give short notice executions, biased trials and fake evidence as reasoning. So I am for the DP in non-communist countries, but not in the middle east etc.

I think it's okay, as long as they go to Confession first so that they may have a chance to go to Heaven.
In retrospect, it's prob better than rotting away in Jail or a padded room.

"An eye for an eye"

I thikt hat they should suffer instead of die cause if they do die its useually short and non painful whihc is stupid they dont suffer at all that way i can understand if they made like for example 10 murders and so on or even just like 6 but seriously they should suffer in prison for a long time nd suffer badley as a consiquence

Okay very good piont, i had a bad example lolz.... maybe in something like breaking out of jail non stop every time on first or second day? hmmm still bad lolz....
But also i say most murderers know ur NOT going to kill them of course so they are surprised and regret maybe? i rekon people woh murder more then 7 should be setenced just my opinion though

True, but shouldn't that mean life in prison is the most extreme punishment? How come third-timers and murderers get the "easy way out" then?

one word: nazim

Lol, we could tell the Atheist ones we're going to give them the opportunity to prove there is no God, and then kill them. :P

Nazi human experimentation was medical experimentation on large
numbers of people by the German Nazi regime in its concentration camps
during World War II. At Auschwitz, under the direction of Dr. Eduard
Wirths, selected inmates were subjected to various experiments which
were supposedly designed to help German military personnel in combat
situations, to aid in the recovery of military personnel that had been
injured, and to advance the racial ideology backed by the Third Reich.
Experiments on twin children in concentration camps were created to
show the similarities and differences in the genetics and eugenics of
twins, as well as to see if the human body can be unnaturally
manipulated. The central leader of the experiments was Dr. Josef
Mengele, who performed experiments on over 1,500 sets of imprisoned
twins, of which fewer than 200 individuals survived the studies. Dr.
Mengele organized the testing of genetics in twins. The twins were
arranged by age and REPORT ME I SWORE- REPORT ME I SWORE- REPORT ME I SWORE and kept in barracks in between the test, which
ranged from the injection of different chemicals into the eyes of the
twins to see if it would change their colors to literally sewing the
twins together in hopes of creating conjoined twins.
In 1942 the Luftwaffe conducted experiments to learn how to treat
hypothermia. One study forced subjects to endure a tank of ice water
for up to three hours (see image above). Another study placed prisoners
naked in the open for several hours with temperatures below freezing.
The experimenters assessed different ways of rewarming survivors.
From about July 1942 to about September 1943, experiments to
investigate the effectiveness of sulfonamide, a synthetic antimicrobial
agent, were conducted at Ravensbrück. Wounds inflicted on the subjects
were infected with bacteria such as Streptococcus, gas gangrene, and
tetanus. Circulation of blood was interrupted by tying off blood
vessels at both ends of the wound to create a condition similar to that
of a battlefield wound. Infection was aggravated by forcing wood
shavings and ground glass into the wounds. The infection was treated
with sulfonamide and other drugs to determine their effectiveness.

NO VUNDERVAFFE FOR YOU!

If someone gets murdered, their murderer should be sentenced to death, in my opinion.
Unless it was out of defense, of course.

I have never heard of anyone who has gotten as far as 20 murders. I have heard 8, but not 20.

Hmm maybe theres a locked up hard core serial killer like that lolz
