or better yet, what about "walking the plank"?

re:barbsmonsta
you might want to get you facts straight, death row appeals make it far more costly then imprisonment for a lifetime.

I think people who are sentenced to death should have absolutely NO rights. And I think their victims or family of their victims should be allowed to participate in the execution if they so desire.

first of all, i don't believe in the death penalty. giving the inmates a choice to die as Christ did, some would say, is blasphemy. the institution of the death penalty, takes human rights away, so why give them any options. if they had options, they wouldn't be on death row, or in prison at all. it is ludicrous to tell these murderers that they don't have the choice to live in prison (which by the way, costs less than execution) without possibility of parole, but they do have the choice to die by any means they choose. in the u.s. only the poor get executed, so they may actually go for the crucifixion, or any other form of death that brings humility, but it is something i would never support. now, castration for sex offengers...

Even if you offered it to them, how many do you think would take it. It is a very painful and very long process that sometimes could take days (in fact in Jesus' time the criminals that were crucified often had their legs broken to speed up the process of dying) and I seriously doubt anyone would take it unless they had some kind of "I am God" complex going.

no, people who get themselves crucified at easter do it as an act of faith. to crucify a murderer would be an insult to christ. a much better way is to have a televised lottery. prisoners number gets pulled he gets the execution that week, but heres the best bit one lucky winner from the public wins a million dollars and gets to pull the lever.

No, but I think if the death penalty is administered it should be in the middle of the day and shown live on public television.
If we aren't proud of the "execution" of our laws, then the laws should be changed.

Death sentece should be abolished.If it can not be then anesthetising the criminal to death is the only option.Crucifixon is atavistic.

No. I think Old Sparkey should be brought back, though.
Or perhaps a public stoning. Let the victims' families go first.

The above record is solid, yet i might upload "selflessness"to it. you should be keen to permit your mate to be thierself until it extremely is detrimental to the relationship. Faithfulness is likewise paramount. Infidelity, in any type, is detrimental.

No. I think the only option they should have is to undergo the same crime their victims did.

crucifixion is very cruel.
The method of death must be classifed as cruel and unusual punishement .
