Most European countries have dark pasts when it comes to killing their own people, and that is why they aren't in our company. The most recent was Germany where they slaughtered people in the death camps. They don't want to think about their own dark pasts. They think that they are above us by rejecting the death penalty, but in reality they can't be trusted with it. The German death camps, the Spanish Inquizition, French persecution of the Jews, El Duche was a real pistol for the Italians. The Europeans love killing people and they love starting world wars, they are above nobody.

Just today I saw a report out of the UK. The protestants have a parade every year that celebrates the slaughtering of Catholics in the 1600's. If we had their history, I wouldn't want the death penalty either. I say we kill them too.

Maybe you should write a list of countries who have gone in for a campaign of slaughtering their own people.

Come on...every country has a history of slaughtering people. Are you really saying that no slaughtering has taken place in the States' (much shorter) history? If I wrote a list, it would be much easier to list the countries that haven't slaughtered their own people.

So, if all countries are equally sadistic, why is the US (almost) the only "free" country in that list. I mean, look at who is in there.

Iraq, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Iran...

kinda dodgy to be on the same list if you ask me.

The main problem I have with the death penalty is that innocent people can, and have been, killed.

I wish we had a voluntary death penalty. Send murderers to prison for life, but offer them a cyanide capsule at any time, so if they choose to take it, we don't have to keep spending money on them. This would be a lot cheaper than the death penalty as we currently have it.

But anyway, my original point is that the US is this list, surrounded by the dodgiest, most corrupt countries in the world. Wouldn't you want your country to get off that list?

What makes you say that? If I were locked away in a maximum security prison for the rest of my life, never to see the light of day again, that cyanide capsule would start to look pretty tempting to me.

If you look at the rates of recidivism among ex-cons they are alarmingly high. They get out and continue to commit violent crimes. Compare that to the recidivist rates of those sentenced to the death penalty and you will find it to be an undeniable success.

euthanasia = yes
death penalty = no

Why don't I support death penalty? Because it is irreversible and permanent, but the judiciary sucks ass - it is not flawless and typically is narrow-minded, prefunctory, corrupted etc. etc. :frown:

I'm proud that there is no death penalty in my country, though there are some assholes who make me wish there was...

usa does not only have death penalty they have something else too, a crime situatuin wich is unlike any other western countries. the gun attitute in america is unlike any other western country too. I understand very well that americans support death penatly, i would too with that kind of crime around me (perhaps).

Death penalty probably doesnt decrease crime, just like jail doesnt. but there arent so many alternatives that will work over the night.

well, americans like their guns unlike any other places i have been , the right to have a gun you take for so granted is not a right in all other countries. i dont know anybody that owns a gun other than hunting rifle. so america is diffrent there. i was chocked when i saw you could go into a bank in that moore movie, open an account and get to choose a gun. and people talked about it like it was the most normal thing in the world, that is exactly the attitude i am talking about

here in norway, not even police walk around with guns. result of that combined with low jailtimes (max for anything is 21years, serve 2/3 no matter what ) is one of thereasons why there is around 100 murders only per year here i think.

it costs around $30k a year to imprison an inmate, almost $20 billion dollars a year.

Why should somebody sit in there for life when they have killed, and have no use in society. You only run the risk of them getting out and killing again, or having them sit in their cell until they are 80 years old.

Not exactly.

You don't just walk in, drop your cash, and walk out. You must do the same paperwork as if you purchased your gun from a store.

Actually, I'm pretty sure executions are more expensive due to all the appeals and whatnot they entail.

I think giving the state the power to kill people is dangerous, even though capital punishment may be warranted in some cases.




Capital punishment is nothing more than a desire for revenge, one of the basest human desires.  It does nothing to lower the murder rate.  If some asshole murdered someone I loved, I would love to see him/her get the chair etc, but if you look at it rationally there's no point.  Let them rot in jail, and if its discovered they are innocent at least they can get out.  It's not perfect, but the judiciary (in any country) is less perfect.

Here's an interesting essay on how hopelessy unfair the jury system is. 

http://www.world-of-dawkins.com/Dawkins/Work/Articles/1997-11-16trialbyjury.shtml


luvdemshrooms said he would prefer to see DNA evidence mandatory.  it's a start, but the final verdict relies on 12 dumbasses (generalisation alert  :grin:)

anyway, no one seems to think that the US is in bad company (the list, the list!)

To me it's just strange that the US government touts its freedoms so much, and yet they share many of the same characteristics (to a much lesser extent) of the countries they invade.

Your exactly right it is more expensive. But I am still for the death penalty. I would prefer they put in express lanes (this of course with only proof verified by DNA).
Everyone on death row gets a mandatory 4 appeals. Whether they want them or not. They can make further appeals also at your and my expense. Why? If they were convicted by a jury of their peers then why do they get all these appeals? Did the person(s) they killed get four appeals? The answer is NO. I actually agree with Silvers statement that someone on death row should get the right to eat a bullet or some poison.

Sometimes even DNA isn't enough, eg. corruption, tampering with evidence or just plain police bungling. You're putting your trust completely into the hands of the justice system to decide if someone dies or not. Even if you have all the safeguards possible in place, we humans still make fuck-ups. The chance of one innocent person dying is enough to make me reject the death penalty.

And the fac that it doesn't work as a deterrent.

What's to refute? Even the article says he filled out the paperwork. The scene in the movie does not accurately portray reality.

And I'll ask again.

Have you ever bought a gun?

As somebody once said somewhere,

Everybody shoud carry a gun, the first year or so would be very rough, but after that we would be living in paradise.

Have you ever bought a gun?

Have you ever held a real gun?

Have you ever shot one?

Just wanted to see if you had exercised our second amendment right.

A "no", it is.
