    For it big time. Of course i'm from Texas, which sentences more ppl to the death penalty than any other state. Also, they put alot of ppl to death. Most ppl that get the death penelty deserve the sentence that they get. Plus, keepin the alive takes alot of tax dollars.

    I think it will do the criminal good to rot in prison for life. There is also that slim chance they can turn there life around.

    I don't really know. I guess I look at it on a case-by-case basis, but I would be willing to support the death penalty.I'm also in Texas... Harris county to be exact, and our county alone supposedly sentences more people to death than most states in the country.

    I'm against it, I think that life in prison is worse, and as Tony said it gives the criminal a chance to redeem himself.

    The death penalty is a waste of money (it costs millions to send someone to death through courts, appeals, etc...etc...) Not to mention I don't think our goverment/courts should have the right to legally kill people. It's ridiculous, let them rot.

    I am against it. Having someone suffer for life in prison is much harsh then just giving them an easy escape.

    I'am against it,but not for the suffering part.I think people should be gaven a second chance and should not be killed right away.America has the most people in prison in the world,and they say we are the land of the free?

Timmothy McVay(Oklahoma City Bombing fucker :aggressive: ) was in jail for about 8 years before they exicuted him

    I don't think the government has the right to end someone's life, that's the bottom line for me.

    They have the right to go to war and the right to make you rot in prison but they don't have the right to kill someone? I don't think that person who murdered and raped 3 teenage girls had the right do to that, either.

    So Wolf,you were in a hood and you happened to get shot and you happen to have a loaded gun,you fight back in self defense and you kill him.Now where in the hood so there is no proof you did it in self defense so do you deserve to die?

    Well, you have to make sure there is no doubt that the man is guilty, obviously.

    Death Penalty. I'm against it. If someone kills someone, it's just as bad for the government to kill him. Let him have life in prison. And also, life in prison isn't so bad. I mean think about it, full meals (even though they suck), great work outs and excercise, and get closer to God and be more religous. I think you can also maybe if you train hard and become strong in prison, in about 10 years maybe some Police or Intelligence agency can take you out if you show promise.
