My view is that some people don't deserve to live. Some mistakes will happen, but correct me if I am wrong the stats on those incorrectly hanged are very low. I would rather they hang 10,000 and get one wrong than to let 10,000 rapists/killers live.

Of course providing that the 'wrong person' is not your family member or yourself. Wink

10,000 to 1 is one made up stat that I'm choosing not to get on board with.

It's not just the innocents, it's the degrees as well.

Snoopy talks about killing Tim Robbins from Shawshank, what about executing the Morgan Freeman character?

It's not just the bible that either side throw at each other in this debate....


I'm waiting for someone who's wife and/or children have been brutally raped, tortured and murdered to come on and say they don't believe in the death penalty.

Essentially the same point used to argue both sides. The death penalty is something that I think people rarely change their minds about.

In the Saddam case, was it a hung jury?

It works both ways I guess if someone killed a member of my family i would want them hanged, but if one of my family was hanged in error I would be against the death penalty. I haven't seen the film you are referring to

So we're killing the rapists? Ok

The 19 year old guy who sleeps with the 15 year old girl has commited statutory rape. Is he getting hung too?
I never understand why the term statutory rape is used in this case, so no doesn't apply.

The biggest problem for me was that the trial was such a farce. How can you hang someone after the defence lawyers walked out because the trial was a joke. In this case it was clear that idiot bush was going after Hussein and that was that. The rest of it was just a charade.



Also, we have no moral high ground to stand on. Did you know that in the 1950's we tested nerve gas on our own soldiers to find out the minimum required to kill a man. The soldiers were told they were testing a cure for the common cold. Who was hung for that atrocity, no-one.


Western governments are just as bad as those they criticise and persecute, they are just better at hiding the evil they do IMO.

Forget that example for now then.

A child is killed, the parent murders the killer. Is the parent to be put to death?
