Death penalty in UK.

Who are we to judge and deal out punishment??? Religion has a big hand to play in this. Are we Gods to trial someone, find them guilty, and then kill them???

For me, hell yeah! If the evidence is 100% conclusive. Fucking do them Arab style! In front of the whole nation. Live on TV public beheadings. Name and shame the muthafuckers. Black, white, yellow. What ever the colour, age, sex, religion. You choose the path of evil! Pay the fucking price!!!! This country of ours is seriously broken, westernization has crept in on us. These soft laws, soft penalties have crippled our communities, whereas people now, don't give a shit if they get life inprisonment. We're paying to keep them, why should they bother.????

England! England! the softest country in the land and all the world!

Rant over. Sorry. Touchy subject :-(
woop woop! paphos for president!

Not the death penalty.

I have done jury service twice now, and it is nerve wracking enough sending someone to prison for burglary, even though you are constantly told your decision should be 'beyond reasonable doubt'.

There is always a doubt, but to send someone to their death in such circumstances would be unimaginable. There have been, and there always will be, miscarriages of justice, for whatever reason. The jurers who made their decisions in those cases were relying on the evidence being placed in front of them being accurate and fair. There is no other way of looking at it.

Given the failings of the judicial system which we are all familiar with, could you, would you, want to send someone to their death.

I know how nerve wracking it can be sending someone to prison. I could not imagine the horror of sending someone to their death.

I could'nt do it, it would be too much.
for burgalry, no, for child-rape-torture-killers, a resounding yes.

The death penalty has no place in a civilised society. Simple.
so you let people live in a sort of 5*hotel-prison for 4 years, then let them out to rape children to death again, theyre not civilized, society would be a LOT MORE civilized without them.

with modern technonlgy youd probobly kill 1 inocent for every 500 that deserve it, so just do it, and before you say it, if they were related to me and inocent then its still geting rid of lots more killers/rapists etc so its a better, safer world for everyone, including the other people that are close to me. would you want 1 inocent person in your family to be killed by the law, or a few be killers/rapists?

yes, there not human, humans respect inocent life.

You fucking don't!

You make me sick.
 
I love this debate - I love the way the lefties on here are so sympathetic and apologetic to muslims and muslim countries in the middle east, so much so that they would be happy with a muslim Prime Minister and a muslim majority in Britain.

What they don't seem to acknowledge is that in 99% of these muslim middle eastern countries the death penalty is in force. They also chop your hand off if you steal and bang you up if you kiss in public. They make women cover up their skin. They don't allow women to drive. Let's not get started on how they view homosexuals.

If muslims became a majority in Britain the death penalty would come back along with all those other intolerant laws above.


Yet the leftie continues to welcome as many in as possible with open arms, whilst simultaneously arguing against everything their laws and religion stand for.

I can't speak for Cheesy, but where did he say that? Not supporting the death penalty doesn't mean that he, or anyone (including myself), likes the current system or supports cushy sentences or prisons.
 
when a society endorses the death penalty it cheapens the value of human life, it doesnt work as a deterrent and it sends the message that killing in certain circumstances is acceptable. Not a message which , in my opinion, is a healthy one for the society concerned.
 
It's such a simple argument. Which Western country kills more of its citizens than any other? It's the same one with the highest murder rates. The US.

Capital punishment does not work as a deterrent and it's proven to kill innocent people. If you can't see the obvious problem here then you probably shouldn't be allowed to vote.
