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. |

Well, in the movies, I think what makes it "okay" is fact that we know that it's "entertainment" and not a real-life filming.
However, if monthly real-life executions were to be televised, I doubt (and deeply hope) that the morals of this nation have sunk that low that we'd accept whole-heartedly. |
