What do you think about capital punishment?

Personally, I am all for bringing back public hangings... though only for the really terrible crimes like murder, rape, child molesting. It would definately make ppl think twice before doing it. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I think that is extreme. But that is the way that culture does things. Until the people there decide to change the attitude and laws it wont change. I wonder if it really deters crime there?

IMO if you take someone's life you forfeit your own and I do not approve of my tax dollars giving murderers rooms and board. There are many poor homeless people who would welcome a warm dry bed and three meal day.

After many thoughts about this, I am against capital punishment. I think the experiment has failed. From what I have heard, in the Middle East, women are treated worse than 4th class citizens. What a shame. If this had been a man, they would have promoted him into the terrorist organizations and given him a pension when he retires.

I believe in Capital punishment. I think if we followed capital punishment more the prisions would not be so full. I think people would think twice before they break the laws.

I beleive in capital punishment for rapists murderers and child malesters. I get tired of them getting fed with my tax dollors!

Yes it is quite unjustified actually and it's a crime to do so.

I guess this means that murderers a like that dog who is allowed one free bite. They are allowed one free murder. Oh and I want to ask, did those who were murdered, deserve to die? If someone went and killed your children or grandchild, do you believe that the murderer was justified in murdering them? I can understand an accident, or someone on the spur of the moment, but I cannot understand how someone who murders in cold blood and all tests point, DNA, witnesses,etc. stolen goods in his place, is allowed to be in prison for his lifetime and with the possibility of escape, and not pay the ultimate penalty for his crime. So I ask you again, did those who were murdered, deserve to die?

Being a Christian that I am, I'm not sure what to believe when it comes to capital punishment. The bible says "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" but then in the ten commandments, the 6th commandment says "Thou shalt not kill" so which is it? I do not know however, I do know that two wrongs doesn't make a thing right. Also, what if the person is innocent? We've executed many that were later found to be not the one who did the deed. So in the end I would have to say No. I don't agree with capital punishment.
