| 602453 | 2007-10-19 00:41:00 | And you know the crime rates would in fact be lower if they abolished the severe punishment? | Metla (12) | ||
| 602454 | 2007-10-19 01:16:00 | Sorry I am a bit more civilised and humane than you If you decide to look down on us , then I guess I'll have to say we're smarter than you. We look at things that benefits more people in the long run. It's got nothing to do with being civilised or humane. Death penalties are given to those who aren't civilised and humane in the first place. If they inflict our society with uncivilised and inhumane treatment, why do we have to give them a home in prison, food on the table, clothing, medical care and basically, a free life. Why? I'd really love to see how you react if one of your loved ones is brutally maimed then tortured, then killed in the most painful ways. Bet you'll say otherwise. |

When it goes down in the US - it goes down in Canada. But Canada does not have the death penalty. The Southern states execute the most people. They also have the highest murder rate. |

| 602456 | 2007-10-19 01:22:00 | Interesting, Got verification? And of course they execute the most if they have the highest murder rate, They have more murderers. |

| 602457 | 2007-10-19 01:23:00 | It's got nothing to do with being civilised or humane. Death penalties are given to those who aren't civilised and humane in the first place. So you're saying that the punishment for being inhumane and civilised should be inhumane and uncivilised? Or are you saying that the death penalty would be a civilised and humane response to inhumane and uncivilised behaviour? Or do you mean that a person's inhumane and uncivilised behaviour temporarily excuses society from being humane and civilised while they punish that person? |

| 602458 | 2007-10-19 01:33:00 | Interesting, Got verification? 2006 FBI Uniform Crime Report showed that the Southern States had the highest murder rate. They also account for 80 percent of executions in the United States. |

| 602459 | 2007-10-19 01:36:00 | The statistic that the States that do not have the death penalty have lower homicide rates is a finding of a New York Times study | Deane F (8204) | ||
| 602460 | 2007-10-19 01:41:00 | The death penalty is working out well for the United States, isn't it? They sound really pleased with their crime rates - especially homicide. Friggin 'eck! Twice in two days I'm agreeing with this guy. Help me someone? Anyway, my :2cents: I would only support the death penalty if it could be 100% guaranteed the individual being put to death was guilty. That won't happen. Mistakes get made. As long as the potential is there for one innocent person to be executed, it shouldn't happen. There are opinions here that given the authors don't surprise me, however rob_on_guitar, YOU surprised me. My opinion on the scum does not differ from most of yours, however (in this country especially) I wouldn't support it for the reason given. Flame away! |
