A lot of points have been made since I last posted, and a lot of good ones too.
I get that innocent people will be charged for murder and other crimes etc, if the death penalty was introduced into the UK believe me I'd want it to be done only in certain circumstances. People will always disagree on what constitutes the death penalty but that's where I think people should vote. And hell people have already voted no to the death penalty haven't they? So why are we arguing?
The question in the poll was simply are you for or against the death penalty and why.
I've answered that.
Not my problem if you disagree which you are more than entitled to do.
And people say that punishment is so that people come to understand what they've done is wrong. Sure that works if you're planning on releasing prisoners back into the world, but what's the point if they're going to be rotting in a cell for the rest of their life? I really don't see it.
I don't see the point in a criminal who is going to be in prison for life "learning the errors of his ways". So wait, he figures out when he's 90 that he was wrong to kill 20 people and we all clearly see he's repented or whatever. Are we then suggesting we let him back out? Because he's learned the errors of his ways right?
It just seems pointless to me. Completely and utterly pointless.
As I said, why should upstanding people in society look after people who want to destroy society? Keeping them alive for the purpose of keeping them alive to help keep our consciences clear achieves nothing. Getting rid of waste in society is I think a very good fucking arguement. Again i'm not talking about killing someone for shoplifting, I'm talking about mass murder, mass rape etc. Things which we'd ALL agree were very very bad for the progression of the human race.
