What difference does that make? Being a looney tunes does not give anyone a free pass.
which is as he correctly said, attached to poverty and education
those are interesting comments especially when put together because essentially as a society we do already condone execution and torture under some circumstances.
we like to believe only in justified cases and under extreme circumstances
Ever drafted or participated in a survey? The fact is the outcome is usually predetermined
by the way the question is constructed. Therefore one can get the answer they want from
the series of questions they ask. Therefore I am not surprised that a survey would show any
answer the conductor of a survey asks. If the question were asked "Do you want to get rid of
Steven Harper as Prime Minister a lot of people would say Yes" Now if you ask them "would
you like Trudeau to be Prime Minister" a lot ore might say No"
Capital Punishment is about revenge and the citizens get a momentary relief from a feeling of
helplessness. The problem is there are far to many people executed that may not have been
guilty of anything. People are all for hanging until one of there own has the noose around their
neck then there must be another way. Even myself I have a time or two supported capital punishment
but the revelations of innocent people nearly or executed has changed my mind completely.

not a good enough excuse. They are clearly insane AND brain damaged if they enjoy killing. Unless they can be used for experimentation, to save a better animal from being tested on, they are of no use to civilization and why waste any resource on their continuance? k, well maybe waste a bit of electricity...that's ok.
yeah me too...plus in a documentary years ago, some warden from a prison speaking about the massive disappointment people get after the offender dies...they pump themselves up in their head to believe once it is over there will be closure...this guy said there is never closure from the death penalty because a few days after the adrenaline wears off they realize their loved one still isn't coming back...the person who killed them is now dead you can't kill them repeatedly. Plus he said he knows for a fact that they have killed innocent people at his prison...he said it haunts you...you can push it back, you can justify it, you can teach yourself to live with it but he said if you want to remain a human being who can still walk as a human being on the face of the earth you better never let yourself get okay with it.
I favour the return of Capital punishment.
Before anyone goes nuts, let me explain. I remember what I used to call the three Ms, Marshal, Milgaard, and Morin. (and now many more than that) I am a firm believer it is better to let 100 guilty go free than convict one innocent man.
I also understand that in a free country, like the USA, it cost much more to jump through all the legal walls thrown up to keep a convicted man from the sentence of death than it does to keep that man in prison for 40 years.
As well, the death penalty is often unfairly applied for reasons of race, or economic status, etc.
Now, having made the argument against the death penalty, let me clarify.
There are some that simply should not be permitted to live. There are some evils in the world that need to be expunged, not simply contained. I think of Clifford Olsen, Bernardo and Homolka, Robert Pickton, Michael McGray, and Alan Legere, et al.
They need to be removed from the face of the earth.
Here is my proposition.
Serial killers should be tried for a single murder each time, before a different jury and a different judge. On their third conviction, they should be put to death immediately, or as soon as it can be arranged.

Is it any wonder why I call you a pretend conservative? Hey! Here's an idea....let's spend at least three times more than we need to on trials. It's only taxpayers dollars after all. Then we can take away the convicted persons right to appeal because we all know the right of the state should supersede the right of the individual.... I mean, clearly government knows best.
Incredible! I don't even have to argue the point that you are not a true conservative. You practically spew Dipper ideology.
Yep.
I am willing to pay a little extra to remove some evil from the world.
A person has the right to a fair trial.....I propose three fair trials.
If he is convicted in all three, he is obviously guilty beyond any doubt.
Let his estate appeal.
Hmmmm....not only a socialist but a petty and vindictive one to boot. Hedy Fry would be impressed
The same amount as it has deterred, lmfao..
how does one become a serial killer? is it their environment they've grown up in or is it in their DNA? if it's in their DNA we must have to consider something taboo today, eugenics.
Nah, stuffing the bastard back up his mom is too hard. Generally not her fault anyhow.
One in the brain pan usually solves the problem. Bullets are relatively cheap. I'm with you on this one.
How would you propose we do that?
We already live in a society of excessive control.
You can not eliminate all deviance.
