Why exactly is the death penalty bad?

Nope then we'll just have more drug dealers thinking they can get away with it.
If they would execute the ones that confessed or they had solid evidence on it reduce the burden on the system.

I have a much better idea what's going on than you do, You aren't even in the US so it really isn't any of your business, you aren't paying to warehouse all the death row inmates or pay for the idiocy of the druggies. Freedom isn't freedom to break the law. Never was. Good day.

insulting , you just prove that I am right , why don you reply me in a normal way, answer to my statements ??
Because you CAN'T and then you call me an idiot..

Ok let us define freedom , you obviously know everything about it.
Let's have it ...

By the way, I am not a liberal, and I am not an American type
Maybe some new insults for you to throw my way ??

You started the insulting crap. I don't have anything else to say to you. If you don't want to be treated like a lib don't act like one.

Since when is it an insult to tell the truth ? I just noticed that your comments are beside reality ...
You don't comment on ANY of my statements, you just attack my person, you are incapable of having a discussion or a debate...

Actually you are the one incapable of truth or debate, your whole thing seemed to be you want drugs, well go get some, you're getting cranky.

keep on shouting, you only show more that I tell the truth
If you don't want to be treated like a stupid conservative , show some inteligence ...

Go screw yourself, I've moved on to intelligent conversations.

You are kidding me , conversations with yourself ?
come on man, prove your self, and prove me wrong...

A conversation with myself would be more intelligent than a conversation with you, so yes, maybe I'll try that later when only idiots are around. Thanks .

Ah you need more people like yourself ...
People to agree with you, than it is easy ...
But I think you are afraid to have a real debate with someone who does NOT agrees with you

Don't worry, this is a conservative trade ...

It's people like you that make Americans look bad.

Hey friend. Here in the USA it does cost millions more for death sentences than life in prison which I imparted to the feline.

beside that , a country where money is more important than ANY human life is inhumane and does not belong in the list of developed countries

It is depressing to think how many innocents have been given the death penalty before DNA and other evidence was available to clear them too.

like I say, one executed innocent person is 1000 to many

So Kat- you think 'druggies' should be executed too?

Death penalty costs more. http://www.deathpenalty.org/a...

All criminal convictions are suppose to be founded on solid evidence, "Beyond a shadow of a doubt" I am sure you have heard that statement before.
There fore if their are innocent people on death row how can you be sure that any of the evidence is solid in any conviction?
I noticed you didn't answer the previous posters question, Do you think that money is more important then an Innocent persons life?

Yes, I've heard that and not all evidence is wrong.
So we should pay to keep murderers alive indefinitely because there might be an innocent person among them. If you all think that way they should have a special fee for all of you to pay to keep them alive. I would rather have my money spent on better things like people that won't be incarcerated the rest of their lives using food, medicine and all the other freebies they get. You think that's cold, it is, you'll kill babies to keep the population down but let muderers live.

That is a very Christian answer, is it not better to keep them alive and let them think about what they have done and why they are incarcerated.
Besides it is cheaper to keep them locked up for life then it is to execute them.
From your answer I can see that you are a very selfish self-center and what .we call from were I live a Mall Christian. I am sure living in Tenn. you know what a Mall Christian is, if not let me explain you believe the parts of the Bible that you agree with and you don't practice the parts that you think are Non-conservative.
I think you should open up that Good Book and ask your God for guidance and forgiveness.

You still haven't answered the question, Do you think that money is more important than an Innocent persons life?

Nobody stays alive indefinitely.

She's a RWNJ my friend. Her heart is the size of the GRINCH! We all know how blood-thirsty them southerners are.

yeah making war of everything

I'm sorry did you say you're a Christian?? Exactly what part of you follows Christianity?

"4 a year is negligible unless of course you're a criminal."

Innocent lives are never "negligible" .

It costs more for executions than life incarcerated in prison.

I started reading this from the beginning and came across your response, you are joking right?
The idea of killing one innocent person to save money by killing all those on death-row doesn't save money. It has been proven over and over again that the cost of carrying out a death penalty sentence far exceeds the cost of housing a convicted criminal for the rest of their life.
Are you a christian? From what I have read here it appears you are not, your statements go completely against any tenets of the church and I am sure Jesus would not approve of your argument either.

negligible? Tell that to the innocent man who lost his life. Tell that to his loved ones. It costs more to EXECUTE a person than it does to keep them in prison for the rest of their lives. No life is negligible.

I just watch a doc.on Death Row. One of the inmates talks of his young daughter,that he wants to be a father to. But he is one Death Row cause he got in a drunkin rage after a fight with a GF & beat her to death with a bat her son left out & he stumbled on it. He also beat the son to death too. Two people killed for nothing by a drunk bully.He got what he derserved.

I agree, if he had such anger issues when drunk it could happen again if he was ever released. His daughter wouldn't be safe with him, no-one would. Maybe it will make someone else think twice before they do the harm to themselves and their loved ones.
If they ever decide to go through with the execution, they drag on for entirely too long.

This doc was about three inmates within hours each of the deed. At the end.the daughter got to touch her dad the first time in years,but after he was gone. She was there.

Good, Hope she was old enough to understand why it happened, if people would stop to consider their actions before doing irrational things a lot of this garbage would stop. Society seems to be egging it on then doesn't want to face the consequences after the fact.

If imposing the death penalty actually stopped all murder then it would have some merit, but it doesn't. By killing those that kill are we, as a nation, any better? No question that anyone that kills should never be out again but is setting on death row for years any different than life in prison without parole?

Life without parole accomplishes two things. First it does not kill someone falsely accused, which does happen all too often. It also is a much more fitting punishment for they then have a long time to consider what they did.

I think that there are three legitimate questions that need to be addressed about the death penalty. 1)How can we be 100% positive that innocent persons are not put to death after being wrongfully convicted? 2)Why do minorities receive the death penalty at such an increased rate, as compared to white convicts? Is there an inherent racism within our justice system? 3)Isn't it hypocritical to kill someone as punishment for killing someone?

I don't think the death penalty is simply "bad", or "good". It's not that simple.

The death penalty is a cold act of revenge. The barbarity of deciding someone should be killed is no less barbaric when court ordered.

and for those who will undoubtedly remind me that these are killers themselves...yes they are, but I want to know I'm not and that I am not a contributing member of any society that does.
