Teabag   10 #373 Posted June 8, 2006 There are no plans to debate capital punishment in Parliament and I do not think that the death penalty will be brought back in this country ...ever:thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bartfarst   10 #374 Posted June 8, 2006 There are no plans to debate capital punishment in Parliament and I do not think that the death penalty will be brought back in this country ...ever:thumbsup: That's because we have a loud minority of misguided interfering do-gooders who would rather see a serial murderer, paedophile or rapist walk free to do it again than be hanged.  Personally, I value the rights of the victims more than the criminals - but then I'm an old-fashioned right-winger - heaven forbid that we should protect the innocents from the violent dregs of society.

discodown   11 #375 Posted June 8, 2006 can't be arsed to read 25 pages but without a shadow of a doubt for certain cases yes there should indeed be a death penalty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
spyro2000 Â Â 10 #376 Posted June 8, 2006 I would love to see the death penalty in this country if the justice system was fool proof, but its not, there can never be a 100% certainty that the right decision has been made as to someones guilt unfirtunately, otherwise I would be all for it.

Rich   12 #377 Posted June 8, 2006 Fair comment, sometimes they do get it wrong... More's the pity... Rven if they don't bring back Capital punishment though, I would still like to see life MEAN life for Murderers etc... Not just send them down for 10 years and let them out in 5 on Parole or whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Halibut   12 #382 Posted June 8, 2006 Should we reintroduce capital punishment? Short answer - no. Why not? a) It's immoral b) Innocent people will be exucuted c) It has no deterrent effect d) It debases the value of human life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Halibut   12 #384 Posted June 8, 2006 I agree with b and partially agree with c, disagree with the rest.  I see it like this Spyro ....if we are saying that it's wrong to kill someone -which is why murder is a crime - I don't see how it can be any less wrong just because the state says it's OK.  The guy who kills a guy because he's been messing with his wife, for example, might feel completely justified in hacking his love rival to death with a sword...but it doesn't make it right.  Like wise if we have capital punishment, and hang the guy who killed the guy...it's just a larger group of people doing what they think is Ok. But is isn't. It's wrong to kill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
