What do you all think? Should there be a death penalty?
Why or why not? |

i am anti-death penalty. reasons are as follows:
-What gives the government the right to kill? True, murder or what not deserves severe punishment. However, i say go with torture dang. An eye for an eye is wrong. (In my opinon...) -Giving such power to any authority seems like giving them advantage. I mean, government should not be allowed to. Also, I think death penalty shows a lack of maturity because it reminds me of those little 2nd grade fights that break out just because a kid spills ketchup on someone's hair. It's like... " You... Im going to tell on you!" and the teacher says, " Its alright children, youc an put ketchup on him for putting ketchup on you." I know that murder and other serious crimes are not a matter of ketchup or whatever and it is very serious, but I think there would be better ways to handle punishment other than taking away life. |
