either way, since we don't have the power to bring the dead to life, why should we excercise our power to bring the living to death?

Because whether you like it or not, there are those among us who will do just that, and those people are to be justly dealt with.

I'm kinda for the death penalty, I think people who are psychopaths and do things like cut off their own skin and kill children and eat them or things like that deserve the death penalty.

and while we are at it, lets bring personal feelings into every court case, then next we can base it off personal feelings, just let them pick the first person who they see on the street, and give them a trial based on emotion rather than fact, alot of victum's families would be happier that way, and if it kills off a few that shoulnd't who cares, as long as the victum's families are happy...

Hahahahaha! Right on! Also, as Ghandi said, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."

I think that if crazy people are allowed to live, they shouldn't be allowed to live.

I think that if crazy people are allowed to live, they shouldn't be allowed to live. why if those people are disterbed in the head then we might as well execute mentally challenged people whcih we dont because they dont have as good judgement along with many crazies, and nice post gamerman, and demon I agree an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind except in war I think revenge should be used wen appropriate but gamerman is completely right, if we started letting the victims family decide sentences they would be too immotional to make the right choice, thats why I think that the victims family should be able to say that the victim shouldnt get the dp but they should decide on if they get the dp

overall i'm not for the death penalty but if u think about it, putting somebody in prison for life is kind of cruel punishment. sitting there without family or friends(if they have any, they probably killed all of them) and doing almost nothing everyday until you die. think about it. people end up going insane and kill themselves. that's not humain.

Who are you to say that giving the death penalty is not the right choice, Azan? You say, they would get too emotional. But they're not too emotional to make their own decisions. Also crazies are not the same as mentally challenged. They aren't stupid, just crazy. They know what they're doing.

Rationality is a good thing. I think you meant irrationaly, and the murderers should have thought of that before they killed someone

when people get really emotional they can sometimes act differently. they don't necessarilly know what they're doing. it's almost like they're unconscious.
