Which one deserves to die

Some things that people do are just so worthy of death. Like someone on the NO side, I too am 15 years old, but, as said before, I believe some things are worth death. Just a few examples, to name them; murder but not manslaughter , rape for BOTH genders, vice-versa , paedophilia, terrorism of ANY religion or belief, not just Islam for all you paranoid-nuts out there , and Acts of war.

I think if the death sentence, is given, the death should be made as painful as possible, but if the sentencee wants death, keep them locked up for the rest of their life. My God, my friend is right I do make everything depressing Saddam Hussein.

Adolf Hitler. Fidel Castro. Jeffrey Dahmer. Osama bin Laden. These people are not human; they are evil. The world is a better place without them. There is no doubt they committed the crimes that they were accused of. There is no reason that resources should be wasted keeping these despicable people alive. The people they killed did not deserve to die, but they do. Especially if you commit genocide, or destroyed not killed other people's lives.

THat is when people deserve to die. Just look at hitler. Sometimes even more deaths can be prevented if you kill someone, like hitler. If an assassination on hitler or stalin was successful, the death toll of innocent people could have been decreased a lot.

They would not have ended the lives of millions of innocent people. We have done to much bad to this planet, the entire race deserves to die, including me. We all have done something I think is stupid, I believe there is no god, gods, or higher beings. I believe that criminals who do unthinkable crimes such as murder should be punished.

They just shouldn't be murdered at the hands of another human. For someone who opposes this theory, what case do you have for the person who killed the criminal? He too is now a murderer. Let the higher being deal with it. Its not another humans call on who should die. I do not think that anyone deserves to die. Life is too short and you only get one. Sure, there are a lot of people who do disgusting and inhumane things, but I think they should be punished or their actions instead of killed.

You can never really deserve to die because there is nothing someone can do to deserve losing their life. Nobody can truly deserve to die, just as nobody can truly deserve to be honored. To some, killing a criminal is just. To others, it isnt. This very debate is proof of that.

What matters is, does the person themself think they should die? It's their own moral compass that decides their innocence or guilt. Not anyone else's. If so, they feel remorse for whatever it is they may have done. If not, they're clearly insane. Would you in your right mind go out and remorselessly do whatever it was you thought to be "deserving" of death?

I highly doubt that. And crazy though they may be, remember we are still dealing with human beings. The same species as you or i. The purpose of criminal justice, is to prevent people from repeat offending.

Not to punish what they've already done, because that's not justice. That's vengeance. They'd call it a criminal vengeance system otherwise.

If you want to rename the system that to reflect that the entire system is evil, fine by me. I just dont want these g-men receiving honorable mentions for ruining the lives of other humans on a daily basis.

If you don't, i suggest you start working on an alternate method of rehabilitating every offender there is, so they can safely return to our society one day and pay their dues. For every life you destroy, you must spend the rest of your own saving lives of that demographic from the fate in question to atone for. That is my personal philosophy. Belief or disbelief rests with you. A system that does not serve everyone, in the end serves no-one, for the unserved few will always find a way to continue to make the otherwise served many share some of the suffering they've put up with for ages..

That is the maxim of us peaceful anarchists. It's the system's fault as much as it is the few's fault that the many suffer. We made people who they are. It's up to us to make it right. Today, 37 states allow juries to sentence defendants to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole instead of the death penalty.

Several recent studies of public attitudes about crime and punishment found that a majority of Americans support alternatives to capital punishment: When people were presented with the facts about several crimes for which death was a possible punishment, a majority chose life imprisonment without parole as an appropriate alternative to the death penalty see PA.

Q : Isn't the Death Penalty necessary as just retribution for victims' families? Q : Have strict procedures eliminated arbitrariness and discrimination in death sentencing? Poor people are also far more likely to be death sentenced than those who can afford the high costs of private investigators, psychiatrists, and expert criminal lawyers. Indeed, capital punishment is "a privilege of the poor," said Clinton Duffy, former warden at California's San Quentin Prison. Some observers have pointed out that the term "capital punishment" is ironic because "only those without capital get the punishment.

Furthermore, study after study has found serious racial disparities in the charging, sentencing and imposition of the death penalty. People who kill whites are far more likely to receive a death sentence than those whose victims were not white, and blacks who kill whites have the greatest chance of receiving a death sentence.

Minorities are death-sentenced disproportionate to their numbers in the population. This is not primarily because minorities commit more murders, but because they are more often sentenced to death when they do. Q : Maybe it used to happen that innocent people were mistakenly executed, but hasn't that possibility been eliminated?

Since , people in 25 states have been released from death row because they were not guilty. In addition, seven people have been executed even though they were probably innocent.

A study published in the Stanford Law Review documents capital convictions in this century, in which it was later proven that the convict had not committed the crime. Of those, 25 convicts were executed while others spent decades of their lives in prison.

Fifty-five of the cases took place in the s, and another 20 of them between l and l Our criminal justice system cannot be made fail-safe because it is run by human beings, who are fallible.

Executions of innocent persons occur. Q : Only the worst criminals get sentenced to death, right? A : Wrong.

Although it is commonly thought that the death penalty is reserved for those who commit the most heinous crimes, in reality only a small percentage of death-sentenced inmates were convicted of unusually vicious crimes.

The vast majority of individuals facing execution were convicted of crimes that are indistinguishable from crimes committed by others who are serving prison sentences, crimes such as murder committed in the course of an armed robbery. The death penalty is like a lottery, in which fairness always loses. Who gets the death penalty is largely determined, not by the severity of the crime, but by: the race, sex, and economic class of the prisoner and victim; geography -- some states have the death penalty, others do not, within the states that do some counties employ it with great frequency and others do not; the quality of defense counsel and vagaries in the legal process.

Q : "Cruel and unusual punishment" -- those are strong words, but aren't executions relatively swift and painless? A : No execution is painless, whether botched or not, and all executions are certainly cruel.

No country that lets its leaders lie like that deserves a single soldier to die for it. Revolution is everywhere, in everything. There is no final revolution, no final number.

Every woman deserves the simple dignity of dying in a bed with clean sheets and an electric light at hand. A lion is not a lion if it is only free to eat, to sleep and to copulate. It deserves to be free to hunt and to choose its own prey; to look for and find its own mate; to fight for and hold its own territory; and to die where it was born - in the wild.

It should have the same rights as we have. A person can only be born in one place. However, he may die several times elsewhere: in the exiles and prisons, and in a homeland transformed by the occupation and oppression into a nightmare. American women rock on both fields: bed and on the green grass. Their [the Jews] rotten and unbending stiffneckedness deserves that they be oppressed unendingly and without measure or end and that they die in their misery without the pity of anyone.

She deserves to be kissed by someone who loves her. Someone who spends every waking moment trying to do everything right by her. Someone who would rather die than see her hurt.

She doesn't deserve to be kissed by anyone other than me. Any man who retreats into a cave which has only one opening deserves to die. Christianity is not about the divine becoming human so much as it is about the human becoming divine. That is a paradigm shift of the first order. Our capital system is haunted by the demon of error: error in determining guilt and error in determining who among the guilty deserves to die.

What effect was race having?
