| 602462 | 2007-10-19 02:01:00 | Chemical castration works well in some countries,for paedophiles. Or so I am told,haven't actually tried it myself. A chap rapes and murders a girl,then 20 years later goes free,doesn't seem right to me. |

| 602463 | 2007-10-19 02:06:00 | Or better yet, Is put into a mental health unit, loaded with drugs, and then declared fit and healthy a year later, and put on the street. Or bailed to an address by a school..... |

| 602464 | 2007-10-19 02:20:00 | 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? No. I'm saying it's best they die for good, thus eliminating the extreme criminal from plaguing the world with his tainted offspring. Furthermore, tax payers don't need to spend a cent on the rubbish. It may only be 5c a person, but I'd rather pay that 5c for a more worthwhile cause. Besides, revenge feels good. Not only that, death penalties are generally quick and painless. They're better off dying that way rather than imprisoned for life in a torturous environment. |

| 602465 | 2007-10-19 02:49:00 | Unfortunately Arnie is going to be president of the USA. If not next year, in 2008, then definitely in 2012. With the death penalty debate, i'm for it but, and it's a big but, it would only be for first degree murder and i also believe that the relatives of the victim should be allowed to perform the execution if they wanted to. :2cents: |

| 602467 | 2007-10-19 03:43:00 | Arnie doesn't qualify to stand for presidency. He's Austrian. This seems to say otherwise.... Qualifications Article Two of the Constitution sets the qualifications required to become president. Presidents must be: natural-born citizens of the United States at least thirty-five years old must have been resident in the United States for at least fourteen years Citizens at the time of adoption of the Constitution were also eligible to become president, provided they met the age and residency requirements. While not an official requirement, the vast majority of presidents had prior experience as vice presidents, members of Congress, governors, or generals; in addition, thirty-one of forty-three presidents served in the military, all but one of them, James Buchanan, as an officer. During the electoral process, experience or lack thereof is often given as a point in a presidential candidate's campaign.[6] Candidates usually must receive the backing of a major political party. This is not strictly required in order to be considered a serious candidate. Third-party candidate Ross Perot received nearly 19% of the vote in the 1992 election. Not sure that the condition of your poo is of interest on this forum,but I could be wrong.poll perhaps. |

| 602468 | 2007-10-19 05:27:00 | And do they also claim the murder rates would be lower/higher/or the same if those states did not have the death penalty? The studies made no "claims" as such. People use the outcomes of studies for political ends and for policy - but a study shouldn't, properly speaking, make the kind of claims you are talking about. Many anti capital punishment campaigners make the claim that the death penalty has a brutalising effect and is one of a number of root causes of serious crime. |

You are so right Dino,send them to holiday camps,seems so un-brutalising. The poor dears,probably had a bad upbringing,or better still you could let them move in with you and you could talk them to death,though this may be too cruel. |
