what do you think of the death penalty?

It costs more to execute someone than to lock them up for life. Let that sink in for a second. I'm not against the death penalty per se, however I'm against wasting tax dollars. Lock 'em up for life to keep my taxes low. Or, you know, make better laws and better preventative measures.

Well, depends, do they come back from the dead?

I firmly believe in capital punishment in specific cases (e.g. murder).

1) It acts as a deterrent if the punishment is sure and swift. If the punishment is neither swift nor sure, the deterrent is lost.
2) It removes the person who is willing to kill another from society, thereby increasing the safety of everyone else.
3) It's much, much cheaper than imprisonment.
4) It usually gives some relief to the remaining family members as they no longer have to face the murderer.
5) It prevents revenge-killing on the part of relatives and discourages blood-feuds.

To those who say "What if the guy is innocent?" I will point out that trashing a person's physical, emotional, and mental health by torturing them for 20+ years in prison (if they survive it) is less humane. There is no way to "compensate" someone whose life you have destroyed in such a manner. Also, the burden is on the legal system to improve their methods. As things stand now, the U.S. legal system is quite sloppy when it comes to prosecuting cases and dispensing justice.

And then there's the manner of execution. Lethal injection, hanging, and firing squad are all poor methods of execution. The most humane, effective, and inexpensive way is still by chopping the head off in one quick slice. (No, chainsaws aren't appropriate.)

I also believe in forgiveness, however. If the murdered individual's remaining family are willing to let the killer live in exchange for monetary compensation (set by them and the judge), then that is acceptable. The judge may decide to order additional requirements be met in such a situation. If even one member of the family wants the killer dead, however, then he or she dies.

For sending a fake giveaway？Yes.

Against.

And I think that life sentence is way more cruel for the criminal and he'll have a very hard time in prison. Well, in most prisons anyway.

For it.

"death penalty" is not really a penalty, it is the end for someone

For it. For people saying 'it's too final', the average time spent on death row is around 15 years; if they have anything to prove, they can do it then.

Yes, everyone deserves to live. But with their actions, they can easily forfeit that right.

DEAD PENALTY 4 LIFE! XD
But seriously I think that criminals sentenced for taking life should give life back. The criminals with healthy organs should be held to be a donors - when someone needs a liver and his fits they should take it off him to save life etc. Those who have working capabilities (are not terminally ill - criminals) should work in highest risk environment and do the hardest physical work for free as their punishment - so when there would be for example a gas explosion in mine - only worst scum dies and not family fathers/good citizens. I'm sick of prisoners/convicts complaining about their cell size or that they don't have certain rights or so - they have a lot better conditions than homeless who didn't do any harm to anyone and are dying from cold or hunger. Yeah if there would be justice in THE WORLD That would be great

It's too low to nonexistant in most MMOs nowadays, we used to lose pretty much everything at the times of Ultima Online, death was meaningful and to avoid at all costs...

I'd love to hear someone giving death penalty for notorious criminals: drug dealer - headshot, corrupt politician - headshot, notorious driver under influence - headshot.
Unfortunately, it's way too easy to frame someone (drop bag of drugs here, leave backpack full of money in politician office right before anti-corruption-police came there, etc.) to believe it wouldn't be abused :(

If you give a duplicated key you deserve death of course!

soylent green is people

I'm against it. Keep 'em in prison but I don't think you should be able to take their life.

Im for it

As long as there is the slightest chance of an innocent person ending up on the chair, then my opinion is that it should not exist.

That being said, there are a bunch of people(or types of people) that i believe, that the death sentence should be applied on. But not as long as the above risk exists.

For it, some people just don't deserve the privilege of life.

The problem I find with the death penalty is that it exists/can exist in imperfect judicial systems. Well, there's no perfect system anyway -- that's the problem.

restart at checkpoint is fine

I'm against it. I prefer life sentence and make them regret what they did their entire life.

Should be more of it. Lawyers should also pay the full cost for losing. No need to drain the guilty of cash before giving up on them and shrugging.

Death penalty is an act of revenge and when a government start acting in a vengeful manner bad things tend to happen.
