Death Penalty

[Bob Kelso]

Absolutely, if its the blood of someone who is guilty of a crime that merits the ultimate price, life.
Besides, execution is not just for murderers. I believe that traitors should be given this sentence as well.

You're a fucking monster (or an excellent troll), and I sincerely hope you never gain any influence with any governmental power.

Right now, an enemy of my people dines on our money in a prison because we've abolished the death penalty. Yet still he speaks through the bars his poison, ungrateful, that he receives his daily bread through the money earned by our sweat.

And his speaking warrants his death in your eyes? You're a deluded psychopath no better than a bloodthirsty tyrant.

I personally don't believe prisons ought to be ways of punishing people. Depriving a man of his freedom means nothing. At the same time, it does not serve to rehabilitate lesser criminals such as thieves.
If society does not want them, what purpose does it serve to keep them alive? Lesser criminals whose crimes are not great enough should receive their punishment as hard labor in benefit for society.

On the point in bold we can partially agree, the rest of it, fuck no.

The fact that a prisoner loses freedom, which is untrue, the fact is, a prisoner is effectively free from all responsibilities in life, in regards to their sustenance, in regards to their housing and everything else.

No one said prison was a perfect system, but it isn't pleasant and it's far better than any of the bloodthirsty shit you've proposed.

Justice demands blood for blood.

No, your interpretation of what justice demands is "blood for blood", you don't get to lay claim to what justice is.

Not loss of freedom for blood. Someone got killed, and the other got free meals, free housing and free healthcare for life.

Life's a bitch and then you die. In other words, life isn't fair, but that doesn't put you or anyone else in a position to make the call as to end a human life that's been incarcerated and not a physical threat to anyone.

Well, the fact that they come out of your fingertips, does not mean that they are yours.
Our words are never "ours" to begin with. We all have our unspoken references.

By that logic then you're, and I quote, "nothing more than a mere fool, that clinges to the arguments of other fools" as well. Kinda sucks when your words are a double edged sword, eh?

By being dead, they demand vengeance.
If a loved one of mine had perished at the hands of another person, and he went to jail, I'd bribe some guy inside to shank him in the showers.

So this solves what exactly?
