Not only that but it is a wasted life as well. The future holds rehabilitation in higher regard and the death penalty as an uncommon occurrence I'm sure. It just makes more logical sense.

Not to mention the number of innocent people that killed by the death penalty unjustly.
Sure it doesn't prevent crime..but I think it's right in certain circumstances such as this one. No man should have the right to life after doing such an astronomical thing such as what this man did. Fuck that!

Actually, he would most likely die from blood loss. Missing arms and legs would cause a lot of blood loss. Sorry

Lets ask the family, because all we are, are spectators. The family of the dead should have the right to decide.

Why not? I thought forgiveness was a good thing and a positive force?

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

I could give two shits about what religion has in this matter..Sure I believe in a higher being, but I am not going to live my life assuming everything in the Bible is true. When I depate issues and politics, I keep religion out. Even if I were pro-life, I would not say that I am pro-life because of religion.

I just look at it as a failed method of preventing crime. And I find it outdated to kill rather than try to rehabilitate someone.

That being said I am FOR capital punishment, but only as a last resort when rehabilitation is deemed impossible.

wow! Not to go off-topic, but this reminds me of how I let up on the abortion issue and changed my position to pro-choice only within a couple of weeks of pregnancy.

I understand why you might think I have been totally against CP, but I challenge you to find a post where I state I am against it.

I mean I might have said it on this site, I'm not sure, but I don't remember ever doing so. I have played a lot of devils advocate in debates about it, that is for sure.

That must be the case then..In just about every case your stance on Capital Punishment seemed to be completely against it..but I guess you were definitely playing devils advocate in debates about it

I feel that if you are prepared to take someone's life, then you should be prepared to give your own. But only when all other alternatives have been tried. The problem is no alternatives are ever tried, as far as I know, under our system.

I do feel that CP will be a thing of the past in the future. And I wouldn't mind seeing that day whatsoever.
