Nov 7, 2008 - to sum my argument up quickly- i believe it is never moral to kill someone except in war

Nov 9, 2008 - I agree. I mean, what is so good about killing someone? If they were put in prison, first of all, it would be like the world is free of them, and unless they escaped, the world would be much safer, with the exception of the the prison guards, but they're smart people. GREAT VID YOU ARE AWESOME

Nov 11, 2008 - The other point, i have made this one before on you tube too, is the death penelty must be against your own constitution. You see capital punishment is not used in the western world any more, except of course in America. Cruel or unusual punishment is against the US constitution. Whilst it could be argued that its not cruel. As the US is the only western country using capital punishment then how can it not be classed as unusual?

Nov 18, 2008 - one thing anti-death penalty people often do, and you did it too, is completely leave out the victims and their families. i hope you never have to experience the sense of loss of having a loved one murdered. thankfully i haven't. executions bring a sense of closure for the family... and justice for the public. it may not be a deterrent, and may not be cheap... but it's a just punishment. btw, criminals can escape from prison while they're alive.

Nov 19, 2008 - The way I see it is. An eye for an eye Say the suspect stabbed his victim 34 times. The suspect should be stabbed 34 times. To have the same slow and agonizing death as his victim did. And yet they are crying and complaining over the needle hearting. Compared with what could and or should be done to them, they shouldnt be crying over some needle because things could be a whole lot worse

zaczoro Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - i haven't had a loved one mudered, but one killed himself

kevin4peace Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - What if the death was accidental? (original killing)

letseewhathappens101 Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - they still killd them.

kevin4peace Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - but why should somebody be punished with death for something they have done by accident?

letseewhathappens101 Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - ok if sombody shoots sombody dead in 20 seconds is that an accident?

PerthPete1 Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - Hi Dan, I have just posted a video response, which I had previously posted separately. Hope you enjoy my thoughts.

kevin4peace Says:

Nov 27, 2008 - If somebody accidentally ... i can't really think of a good example... trips someone (?), and they die, should that person be put death?

letseewhathappens101 Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - because killng somone costs like 200 million dollars US

letseewhathappens101 Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - ok. whatever!! do you want to drop this because this is geting us no where how was your Thanksgivin? (YAh FOOD)

Nov 29, 2008 - oh. mybad

mantic0251 Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - You gave the correct reasons as to why the Death Penalty is more expensive. The solution is make it less expensive...allow two appeals...and the criminal has two years. After two years...poof...if no evidence is found to prove the criminals innocent...he dies immediately. As to convicting innocent by accident...revising the "failed" judicial system seems more logical than allowing criminals to "live" after committing an artocity.

Dec 2, 2008 - Several points from me: 1. Here in the UK, our prisons are overflowing with violent criminals. Is sentencing more criminals REALLY practical? 2. So you suggest a life-sentence without the chance of parole, keeping appeal costs down and minimising the cost of imprisonment. Okay, but surely there would be protests if new evidence came to light or something.

imnoturmum Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Also, my friend BlueSkyfish says that forced labour is far more practical in terms of generating money rather than wasting it on people who have forfeited their right to a decent life. 3. If people who commit (capital) crimes ALWAYS acting irrationally? If so, why not just forgive all of them and forget all about it? No. Acting under any influence does not shift the blame.
