    Everyone else is posting here so I may has well post too:
    I support the death penalty, why? simple answer: I want those people off the streets permenantly. Yes, they're locked away in supposedly secure facilities but they aren't as secure as people believe. There has been a few escapes from prisons holding inmates on Death Row in the past. So, my views on executing the bad guys don't stem from revenge or anything like that. Kill them to protect the rest of society from truly evil people who would kill for the mere sport of killing!

    Nah, I think there's a little good in everyone. Hard to see sometimes, though. If you kill a murderer I think you have done the same thing to him as he has done to his victim. Wich, of course, makes you a murderer too. Or did you had the right to do it, since he killed first?

    That's why we made laws, and if someone kills another person, he/she broke them... big time. Only question is.... do you keep him/her locked up for the rest of his life, or do you sentence him/her to death ?

    To sentence someone to death is a kind of murder and just because the law says it's right it doesn't justify it. So I think it's wrong.

    Does locking people away for extended periods of time solve anything? not really. Leaving murderers aside when people go to prison over here in the United States (I don't know how it works in other countrys therefore I won't say anything about them) they're worse when they come out, often much worse. Prisons have their own societies inside and in order to survive in a prison one has to be as hard or harder than one's inmates (or so I've heard.) So, send in a guy convicted of something minor and you may get something else entirely when he's released.
    As I said in my earlier post it's not about revenge or "justice" when it comes to the death penalty and me supporting it: it's my own safety and the safety of society that is an issue with me.
    OK, end of my rant now.

    I wouldn't worry too much about that, they never place thieves among killers and rapists. At least not where i live. The killers are seperated from the other criminals.
