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.

The same with forced circumscription for prisoners.

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.
