why i am against the death penalty
I am a jew for the record, and i believe god gives life, and only he should be the one to take it.
also, Killing someone, even if they are a terrorist, child molester or rapist, does not bring back those they killed or undue the damage they created
Also, I believe a life sentence.. Losing ones freedom forever, is a far better punishment then a quick painless death.
I respect peoples opinions on this issue, including those who disagree with me on this issue.

Death Penalty is a necessary evil because of evil
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Too damn expensive, too many people gripe, puts em on ice in case some new evidence miraculously appears, and still prevents them from ever doing it again.Originally Posted by dmp

most people don't like the reason I am opposed to the death penalty......I changed my views on it after a woman who had been on death row for 28 years became a Christian.....I am glad she was given time to change.....

The sooner they are dead the less evil they can perform. And there is absolutely no chance they will get out to do more.
When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.
You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

The Bible speaks of the death penalty. And people were put to death without a lengthy trial; nor was it painless.

The Law was never done away with. Some of the right & rituals have been. But The Law has always been since Creation.

Do you believe in the Torah? I have one and am pretty sure the death penalty is in there.

so's slavery...
times change.
executing one innocent man is cruel and unusual. period. there are enough instances of people who have been convicted and sentenced to death who were later exonerated to prove the fallibility of the system.
put them in a small cell with a mat on the floor to sleep on, a hole in the corner to shit in, a faucet to wash, and a pipe running across the ceiling with a coil of rope hanging on the wall in case they don't want to prolong their own miserable life any longer.

Did you really just argue that it's okay for someone wrongly accused to wind up dead as long as he offs himself?

of course not...if I were wrongfully convicted, I would hope for a new trial on appeal.
Actual innocence breeds hope. True guilt will not.
I do not think that the state should kill anyone given the historical data which proves we HAVE sentenced innocent persons to death and suggests that we most probably have executed some. That, by my way of thinking, is cruel and unusual.
I have no sympathy for murderers and rapists. I DO, however, have profound sympathy for innocent citizens sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit.
I wanna rock right now
Either way, pretty shitty treatment for someone who 'might' be innocent.
