why kill people, that kill people, to show that killing is wrong.

i am totally against it.

i don't think it's to show it's wrong but as a detourant. at least that's what i think. could be wrong though

In no way am I saying its "okay" to kill people

The menace's to society that are raping children, killing children, innocent people overall, simply for $20.00 to support a crack habit, or whatever it may be....

Those people this world can do without, for good.....

seems that if killing them eradicated murder it would have worked by now, since thats been the solution attempted since the dawn of civilization....gotta be a solution to every problem....america is just to entrenched in its traditions and try to oil them, but the principles are flawed from inception.....prisons are definitly not even childish attempts at rehabilitation....show a man why he first WANTED to murder, how it hurt him, and not how bad or unloving it was, he can be cured.....i shall try it, lol

So killing an innocent person doesn't bother you? How can you justify that? Are you better than the murderer or are you like the murderer and killing out of anger or revenge?

Where did the killing of an innocent person come into this? Other then the ones who kill the innocent should be executed?

If the person is guilty and did perform the act, how likely are they do it again? Pretty good odd's they will..

i strongly feel that the death penalty is wrong. i think that they should be punished yes, but there are other ways to go about doing it than murdering the murderer.

Texas doesn't hide the fact there is a death penalty. If you are willing to commit the crime then you should accept the punishment given. If you don't want the punishment...don't commit the crime.

I do feel for the innocent ones and hope through appeals and better testings that those can be stopped.

there is no 100% method to stop crimes yet.

I BELIEVE IN THE DEATH PENALTY IF YOU KILL SOMEONE OR RAPE A CHILD OR AN ADULT YOU DO THAT HORRIFIC CRIME THEN YOU DO THE TIME UNTILL ITS TIME FOR YOU TO DIE THE OTHER PERSON DID NOT ASK TO DIE OR THAT CHILD DID NOT ASKED TO BE RAPED WHAT YOU DO AND ARE SENTENCED FOR THEN THATS THE WAY IT GOES

i think that they should be tortured, but the US thinks that it is considered inhumane, well so is electrocuting, hanging, shooting, and the lethal injection. all that is showing is that if someone kills someone that they will eventually die locked up in jail. everyone is going to die some day. what i really think is funny is that when a murderer is suicidal after being caught and are on death row, they put a suicidal watch on them, so that they can't kill themselves.

start cutting things off of them instead of murdering them. i mean you have fingers and toes, arms and legs, d!cks for guys, and voice boxes that can be broke.

most states don't do electrocuting, hangings or shootings because it has been considered inhumane. but injects, they go peacefully.

not sure torture is the right thing (even though i probably would want it if something happened to me or my loved ones)

torture would set us back to the dark ages.

I agree with the death penalty but I wouldn't want to torture

We will kill more people who are innocent. We know this because occasionally you hear of someone on deathrow who was freed.

Many people want fast justice. They want the death row cleaned out and all executions performed. So you will kill someone who was found innocent just like in the past. If the person is not guilty and dies who pays? Are you then the murderer?

I don't agree with speedy executions. I would hope that those states make sure they are guilty before they did before.

I wish I had an answer to stop the crime but I don't

I was on the fence for years until 2001 . Former Illinos Governor Ryan tipped me to the "No" side. Too many mistakes are made & you can't undo an execution. If the person is guilty, I think life in prison is a far worse punishment than death.

i actually have an uncle in prison and most prisons have it better than those not in prison.

I wish I had some of the benefits they have, but i'm not going to commit a crime just for it

prisons can all be relocated to anarctica with no visitors and intense hard labor and only bare essentials....not even books.....with MUCH shorter sentences.....not many would ever come back....it is the notion not to judge and trying to be nice or show love to others that keep solutions from being seen, and so more pain for all.....anything that focus on love is blind to istelf, because truth is what make love..........everything must have balance, and trying to love make the biggest ****ing imbalance i have ever seen, and leave out justice because we fear ourself not loving and being judged ourself....we are our own judges as people to each other.....the way it is supposed to be...of the truth.....it would be ok to follow love if one added equal measure of hate....what the hell makes sense

How much of your tax dollars do you want supporting these peple.
Wehave convicted criminals getting better medical care than the people paying tax'es. Is that fair? If you feel so strong about, NO DEATH PENALTY; why don't you take one or two of these criminals & be responsible for them? Put your actions, where your thoughts are. I would be all for that.
I also volunteer to donate my time & knowledge, to build an aluminum or stainless steel gallows. As long as all hangings are again public. Let folks see where crime can lead.
I think capitol punishment IS a deterant.
You asked, my humble opinion.

why not ship all to an island where everything has to be grown itself, and nothing is provided, all must fend for themselves, and bare essential are flown in and dropped by plane only....NO ****ING GAURDS.....THE STRONG SURVIVE AND THEY WOULD MAKE PEACE AND ALL WOULD BE PETRIFIED TO EVEN THINK OF HAVING TO GO, LOL....

think your opinion is great man.....i am saying more of what you are than you see....we got too much so-called-wanna-love do gooders that justice cannot prevail.....nothing can see unless it be put in a desperate situation sometimes, and this is why i would not kill anybody.....anybody else that wants to kill em....be my guest.....the one that want death penalty should be with a long rope that all hands that wish to kill can pull together....trust me, pull that rope a few times and most would not sleep at night and change their mind.....kill someone yourself than tell me killing is the way....that is all i say.....if i make pres i will impliment what i say, lol....we are speaking words which build ideas...it all starts there....volunteer time for what....if we dont get the desired results....take a public vote and lets make it happen...there my actions.....which by me lil old hateful self wont amount to anything, lol.....which will step up and start a public new vote for this outside our current system.....we are ****ed as this is almost nil in happening....so we talk here for ideas to find truth is all i can see
