"The death penalty has no place in the 21st century"

Jeez, we have a heap of cruel/inhumane members here it seems. The death penalty is barbaric. It is not civilized. It's state murder.

And?

I'm generally against the death penalty. Some of the more hideous crimes, however, make me think it's sometimes justifiable.

Agree, it's not a deterrent and seems more a vengeance.

Not bad.

What do you prefer? A life imprisonment? Well, if death sentence is murder, then a life imprisonment is torture.

cruel/imhumane are the rapists , murderers etc. (especially when children and women are the victims) and I dont see any reason to sympathize with them or have mercy

they are just garbage and ballast and I dont see any reason putting them in jail and keeping them alive by giving them food and other resources that humans need and even bother dealing with them instead of just throwing them in the shredder because thats what they deserve

You can't honestly call yourself civilized or humane or advanced if you support state murder. But if you're okay with that, it's your problem I guess. People like you should have no place in modern politics though, imo. No power.
