I'd like to know what your personal belief is when it comes to capital punishment. Would your opinion be swayed if you had a family member convicted and sentenced to execution? How about if you had two family members who were convicted and sentenced to execution but only one was guilty of murder. How would your opinions be shaped differently than they are now? Or have you been affected by this law?
www.nodeathpenalty.org claims that the death penalty is above all, racist and punishes people (specifically blacks) for being poor. Do you think that being poor gives you an excuse to kill another man? If you answer no then do you think that killing another man gives you the right to execute the murder? Do you think that's ethical? www.prodeathpenalty.com claims if we don't speak for the victims no one will. This site states that the government is right to have the power to execute a convicted murderer. Oh yes, I'm sure there are a billion topics like this. However, views change with time. This isn't meant to be a debate. |

Im against the death penalty
eye for an eye doesnt solve anything The way I see it is that captial punishment is not justice, how do we justify killing someone to show that killing is bad It doesnt make sense first off not everyone convicted is guilty, so you risk taking the life of someone who is innocent killing a convicted person will not make the family of the victim feel any better and it certainly wont bring their lost loved one back It is revenge and that is wrong, furthermore it is murder We cant just decide that murder for murder is okay, either murder is completely wrong or its not Life in prision is torture enough if the person is truly guilty, in prision they will spend the rest of their life thinking about what they did, the death penalty would actually be the easy way out for someone deserving of it Some people may think that it costs us more money to keep convicts in prision for life, but in actuality giving them the death sentence costs more |
