I am watching CSI right now and this guy got a lethal injection for being a copycat murderer and I was wondering what you think about the death penalty?
do you thinks its ok for a group of people see you or anyone else strapped down on a table and be killed?
do you think there could be a different way to put a person to death?how?
Please share your point of view
I believe that "you kill by the sword, you die by the sword" and about an audience, i don't think that's right, it's disrespectful, unless they wish it.

I don't think anyone has the right to kill. I don't cared what they have done it's not my job. I've never dream of killing someone. never! Plan and Simple
same here, they were going to use the death penlty on the guy who killed my littlest sister, but they desided to send him to jail for life.......he's probably won't last in there....the'll tocher him and end up killing him anyway......so maybe its kinda humean to give someone the dethpenlty?
Yes but they will be giving them the easy way out.One most face your own mistakes and sins that you made in this world instill of run away as a cowrad.Anyways kill the person woll not bring back anyone or take the pain away will it?
I sit, at the same time, on both ends of the spectrum.
The one end:
It is not right, nor is it justifiable, to take a life. If someone has killed someone else, why does that justify taking the murderer's life? "An eye for an eye". Haven't we evolved beyond that primitive idea yet? I just fail to see that taking a life is equalivant compensation for another. It is not as though killing the murderer is going to bring the victim back to life.
The other end:
The death penalty is not harsh enough. Wouldn't it be a harder punishment to let the person live with what they've done? Besides, the death penality just gets them out of paying for what they did. If they already think life is worthless enough to take one, then us killing them has no meaning because they won't, in most cases, even put high value on their own.
So, that's where I stand on the matter. "The one end" is pretty decently explained I think, but "The other end" probably just sounds like a garrbled mess because I haven't talked about this topic in awhile with anyone, and it's harder to explain what I mean.
Well, it depends. If the person being executed killed you kid, sitting in the audience might not be such a bad thing...I mean you see a sort of finality to a horrible episode. I'd much rather drink a hemlock solution than be injected with something...I don't know...
As for the death penalty itself, I don't like it very much, but I do agree that there are certain heinous crimes that the appropreate punishment is death.
Yes. But not many killers or ppl who rape ppl care about life,
