Yes, lets keep the murderers alive, i know it is far more intricate than that but it really is that simple. IF you kill, be ready to die.

How about giving prisoners the death penalty (lethal injection) if they want it? That would save money to be used for issues like homes for the homeless.

Why not injections for the homless, the money could be used to subsidise gas! or better still, convert prisoner and the homeless to Eco fuel and call it Hommur the green fuel for Hummers!

It depends on the individual I think. People are not the same and some value freedom much higher than others!

i hear its actually more costly to put someone to death than it is to keep them in jail for their whole life.

Than there is something wrong with the way they are killed! Trees are still plenty and rope is cheap!

I agree, so are bullets. You can have a whole year of executions for a $20 box of shotgun shells.

Have you been inside skeptikos, "individual" the one thing for a million reasons you dont want to be is an "Individual" or "think" for that matter, both those may put you in harms way.

But if you are a "beast" well everyone knows what happens to "beasts"

would you pull the trigger, Its funny how pro-lifers relish the thought of adult termination, and like to follow the man made law when it suits them.

I oppose the death penalty, but where it is legal I accept it, if you have the balls to pull the trigger, I would not try to kill you, like some pro- lifers have done to personel in abortion clinics, I respect the law of the land.

Agree, putting them into prison for the rest of their lifes so they can just eat for free and watch tv punishes the average tax pay who has committed no crime as well!
