Are you in favor of death penalty ?

Answer 1

Yes,
how can one have the right to live if he/she ended an innocent person's life.
I can never forgive inhumanity

Answer 2

In some ways I do favor the death penalty. In treating the most monstrous among us it might be the only way to insure that they can never get out of prison to harm someone again. I would prefer, however, life in prison without the benefit of parole. They go to prison and they do not leave until they are in a coffin. The problem with this method is it is not cost effective. So does anyone have a perfect answer I doubt it.

Answer 3

I'm not in favor of death penalty , but i do accept that death is in some cases the only logical judgment. Rape, murder (not in self defense and cold blooded) etc. needs death but if u are going to sentence someone to the death penalty, the trial needs to be very very precise and truthful.

Answer 4

Yes, here in South Africa everybody killing and raping and going crazy. People don’t understand what’s going on here! It’s really scary! It’s so sad! In prison the prisoners have a royal time! I promise you! That's what going on in South Africa! They’ve done a study and if you live in South Africa you have a 50% change of being murdered. The death penalty will help a lot. The prisons in South Africa are so overloaded the killers just stay in prison for half of there sentence! Before 1994 people lived in peace! Black and white together!

Answer 5

This question is raised at least once a week.

A couple of months ago a Y! Q/A participant on the French list asked the following: "Qui, au 19° siècle, avait proposé d'abolir la peine de mort, et, à la place, de crever les yeux du condamné ?" ("Who, in the 19th Century, proposed abolishing the death penalty and, in its place, plucking out the eyes of the condemned?")

The Asker, a secondary school teacher in France, got no replies and so he gave his answer: Jules Ferry. Ferry was French minister of education in the 19th Century, and a lot of streets and schools are named after him -- after all he instituted free, secular education for all. I haven't been able to track down such a proposal on any site, French or otherwise, and I note that the Asker has since deleted his question. Still, plucking out eyes isn't so final as the guillotine, is it?

Answer 6

Unfortunately, Yes I am I think that we think way too much on how painless death will be to criminals that have done the most inhumane crimes. We should do it like the russians did. A bullit in the back of the head. Instead of millions so they can go in dignity while their victims went in such cruel and painful deaths.

Answer 7

A person who is sentence to death penalty is most notorious lot.
If he/she were in life imprisonment,its taxing tax payer money, create havoc in prison effecting those who are really seeking to repention last not least taking up places in the cell.
Yes,death penalty for the condemned criminal.

Answer 8

Absolutely not. Too imprecise, more expensive to taxpayers (because of the lengthy appeals process, lifetime incarceration is generally cheaper than execution), the standards of what constitutes a capital offense vary too widely, and the methods are - on the whole - ridiculously cruel.

Answer 9

I have mixed feelings. For the most past I'm against it, but I think that there should be some exceptions.

Answer 10

Yep. Some people simply forfeit the right to exist.
