Posts: 1212 (07/05/05 05:05:50) Veteran **** Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Tags : None We seem to have a bit of a justice theme today, so continuing in that trend...Death Penalty; good or bad? Personally, I am theoretically in favour of it, but against it in practice (simply because the idea of hanging an innocent person is dreadful). What do others think? Would it help restore law and order or is a relic of barbaric time? It hasn't exactly helped in America...

Human life is the most valuable thing in the world, and by destroying it illegally you forfeit the right to your own life.

Those with big guns or who are fast on the draw survive - it is the way Darwin wanted it. Let's face it - our bodies are not meant to age beyond 35 and they just look plain ridiculous with all that saggy skin. Far better to go out in a gunfight with glory on your side. Die the death of a warrior. Live by the gun. The gun is king. War would become obselete with this personal justice - no leaders, no politics, just pure anarchy. The pure anarchy of Jabber.

Oh yes the mentally disabled man who was hung for saying "let him have it" because the murderer wasn't old enough to be killed. Probably the best example for not having a death penalty.

Far, far too many cases of the old bill fitting up whoever happened to be in the area at the time when the crime is high profile or hard to solve.

Far better to invent evidence and get it right most of the time than let these people go free. So a few innocent people get banged up for life - sh*t happens- they were probably miserable chavs anyway. The police have the good sense to only stitch up miserable losers who contribute nothing to society.

I know a few cops personally, and while they might in many ways be nice chaps doing a valuable job they are far from infallable (Not to mention amazingly racist) and I'd even go as far as saying IQ wise they're probably below the national average. Maybe that's just the ones I know however.

Against - look how many people have had their convictions for murder overturned in the last few years. They would all have been hung by now.
