Capital punishment is a necessary thing, but after all only God is righteous, we will all be judged for our sins.

wow you want to kill people dealing drug, 14 years old and above and you want to kill thieves. I didn't realise how crazy and bloodthirsty you are

Well drug dealers sell drugs to people, people buy their drugs, they become addicted, they buy more drugs, and more Untill finely the addict puts the drug above his family and his health. 14 and up because they are very well conscience of what they are doing is wrong. I really don't see the use of just throwing them in prison. Oh better idea instead of death penalty he has to pay the victim what he got from the victim plus 5% of what he sold. Thivery can do the same thing. Unless it kidnapping.

You dodged the question.

No, an innocent casualty is unacceptable.

What? seriously? whatever "the government" do is fine? government has all powers and we shouldn't question it? that's just crazy. If the govenment punish you by stoning you to death for adultery, so be it?

But it didn't say we couldn't join the government and try to change the laws.

And you quote Aristotle to support bearing gun, this is just ridiculus.

You missed the point. Aristotle said that the people should bear arms so that they are not merely slaves to the government.

I do not think young people should be killed doped, maybe just the drug dealers,
You have to remember that age 14 is very affected by this age, I'm guessing that most of those who take this drug desperate people to depression or are trailing after the company,
They are still young and need to help them get out of it and possible to help them kick the habit versus who is an adult and sell, it also depends on what he took, if you can help should help, killed or prison, it only if they do not have options

Death penalty is only acceptable in extreme cases. It should be reserved for cold-blooded mass killers who have no remorse over how terrible they are and can't be reformed. If keeping them alive will certainly result in more innocents being killed by them than it's time to bring in the lethal injection.

It really does shock me though how some people have so much sympathy for murderers. "I don't care if he killed twelve people for no reason, killing him would be inhumane!"

I've also seen the "Capital punishment is bad because innocent people are sometimes executed" point brought up. This is a real problem, but the solution relies in refining the justice system to where less innocent people are found guilty. Innocent people are very often sent to prison as well, does that mean we abolish prisons?

you assume that people taking drug automatically ABUSE the drug. I personnally used all kind of drugs, never abused it, i'm perfectly fonctional. And some legal drug are in fact much more detrimental to one's health than a lot of illegal drugs. Studies shows that weed, mdma, lsd are actually less dangerous and addictive than alcohol for example. So do you kill people for selling alcohol? How do you decide wich drug user/seller deserves death penalty?

Clement Attlee was Labour. I hate Leftism.

It depends on what drug it is, there are drugs you smoke and you could die or get hallucinations for decades, for example, marijuana is not dangerous, just makes you happy and stoned, but there are dangerous drugs much worse from alcohol, which is dangerous only drink quantities.

Caffeine is worse than nicotine.

I don't smoke and I only like Turkish coffee.

I drink PG Tips. Comes from Kenya.

I drink instant coffee, caffeine only invigorating, but it is not healthy to drink a lot, anything is not healthy if you eat or drink a lot.

Some people are insane, some people killed and raped 20 innocent people, some people committed crime against humanity, some people are evil, I do not see what forced working camps are more barbaric or ethically wrong compared to killing someone in an electric chair.

are you sure, that there is something like good and evil? Anyway, Im not entirely sure, but working until death is torture. Torturing to death is even worse, than a 'simple' execution. Furthermore, that would introduce slavery like conditions. Which sane person could possibly want to etablish slavery in society....

Death penalty is only acceptable in extreme cases. It should be reserved for cold-blooded mass killers who have no remorse over how terrible they are and can't be reformed. If keeping them alive will certainly result in more innocents being killed by them than it's time to bring in the lethal injection.

I absolutely agree with that. People that are a constant danger for the society and which are unable to reintegrate after commiting terrifing crimes could be eliminated, but only if there is no doubt about their guilt.

Innocent people are very often sent to prison as well, does that mean we abolish prisons?

chocolate can cause obesity and diabetes, does that mean we should abolish chocolate? you are comparing apples with pears.

As long as there is no proof that they are criminals and they should be under house arrest and police must follow them, and if there is a 1% chance that after all it is not criminal, they would prefer not to risk.
But with that murderer who killed a lot of people would be difficult to impossible to set him up, so I guess that just kill killer "serious" killed a certain amount of people (+10 - 5) would be quite possible to cheat

A prison sentence is something different to capital punishment. If someone who's sent to prison is later found innocent, then you can release them. If some who gets given the death penalty is later found innocent, there's not a lot you can do about it.

A capital punishment is something different to forced labour. If someone who's sent to a work camp is later found innocent, then you can release them. If some who gets given the death penalty is later found innocent, there's not a lot you can do about it.

The same with forced circumscription for prisoners.





Galériens.

If someone has 20+ years of their life wasted away in prison for a crime they didn't commit, I doubt getting released is that much comfort to them. (In fact it's been documented that those who spend too much time in prison have a hard time returning to society)

Getting falsely punished is terrible, whether it be capital punishment or imprisonment. Which is why more focus needs to be placed on stopping false guilty sentences.
