09.22.10 | I'd not do something so I wouldn't be put infront of a firing squad cuz i'm not a moron.
But let's look at another side of the coin, if NY did have the death penalty it would most likely be "the chair" because it has been deemed the most sanitary method of carrying out the death penalty.
Firing squads are only used in war and maybe for public exectutions like in the middle east or back when the soviet union was still 'round. |

The only serious thing the DP has going for it is population control (50k people come into the US every week through immigration being born etc) but other than that, we're a developed civilized nation. Try using your head. |

couldwinarabbit
09.22.10 | lol Ottawa would have 30 murders a year a city of an equivalent size in the USA would have tenfold that amount easily. The best example of how a fucked up backwards country the us is is to think that the amount of people killed on 9/11 is just slightly more then the daily average for murders. I'm not making fun of the USA I feel sad for it. |

JWT155
09.22.10 | To believe that banning guns would decrease that though isn't logical. Imo if someone believes it's logical to kill someone or commit such an illegal act, then what will keep them turning to the blackmarket or an underground arms dealer who will exist and provide no matter whether weapons are legal to the average citizen. Sure, it'll deter a few but if someone wants to acquire a gun to commit a crime, they'll still find a way. |

theacademy
09.22.10 | "To believe that banning guns would decrease that though isn't logical." no that wasn't the ignorant part. i happen to agree with him.
"highest murder rate of any industrialized country in the world." this is where he brings the retard. |
JWT155
09.22.10 | Yea, I'm pretty conservative when it comes to guns. Criminals don't fuck with people with guns i.e. Texas. |
theacademy
09.22.10 | i mean, it's not like that kind of change would make a big difference in texas, but banning guns would undoubtedly cause an aggregate decline in homicides (on a national scale). |
couldwinarabbit
09.22.10 | Canada has fewer murders today then it did 50 years ago despite a major growth in population, urban density and immigration (which is sadly a reason behind a higher crime and murder rate). This has largely been credited with tighter gun regulations esp the ban on hand guns and regulations on where you can have long guns.

09.22.10 | ""Overall, Branas's study found that people who carried guns were 4.5 times as likely to be shot and 4.2 times as likely to get killed compared with unarmed citizens"
Oh, no shit? This is because most people are stupid, especially the morons that get concealed permits and don't know how to operate a weapon. Besides that, most shootings (at least where I live) are perpetrated by illegally-obtained guns anyways, usually in gang situations.
As for the death penalty, when did we decide punishment doesn't work anymore? Also, murder is defined as with malice, so saying it is murder is completely wrong. |
JWT155
09.22.10 | I just can't conceive people who believe that the death penalty has absolutely no place in society. Forget where this happened but recently there's a guy or men on trial for entering a rich home, ordered the wife to go to the bank and retrieve $15,000 and return back and that her daughter and husband would be killed if she called the police. Well she returned but did call the police. The man watched his wife and daughter get raped and then killed and then he was shot and left to die. Apparently he survived and the man/men who did this heinous act are on trial. Anyone who believes these men deserve anymore time on this earth to breathe and should be put in jail for my tax dollars to have them keep on living is fucked up. |

This sounds like the exact plot to Law Abiding Citizen |
DiceMan
09.22.10 | JWT with appeals and such it costs just as much or more to kill them than it does to keep them in prison. Honestly I'd rather they
rot in a cell, die alone, then go to hell rather than anything else.
Plus revenge of that sort doesn't help relatives to come to terms with the death of their loved ones. More often than not it just
leaves regrets about things they didn't say to the killer. Psychologically it is easier for a family to cope knowing that the killer isn't
having the time of his life but locked behind bars.
And yeah Emim that is almost exactly what happened I just couldn't remember which movie it was from when I was reading it but
it sounded awfully familiar. I'd reeeally like to read that news article. |

09.22.10 | Also, you paying tax dollars to kill people is no better than anyone else killing people. It naturally forms a paradox that causes
immorality to spawn immorality. Kinda silly don't you think?

financial complications it causes is kind of ignorant too don't you think? |
JWT155
09.22.10 | My opinion was based more or less of what I personally think should be done, it was ignoring the
actual process of which I completely agree, the practicality of proceeding with executing these men in
today's day and age would not work. If I had my way, tax dollars wouldn't be needed for an execution,
they can hang on a rope outside the courthouse for all I care. |

09.22.10 | Due process of law Emim, due process of law. Also it's for if any other evidence comes up for their situation that indicates that they didn't do it then they can be cleared of the DP. It's stupid really which is why we as a nation shouldn't even allow it to begin with. |
Emim
09.22.10 | I understand that it is the due process of law. If they're going to wait that long, however, what's the point of convicting them? |

09.22.10 | Exactly... It's more expensive than keeping them in prison anyways (more often than not of course, there are exceptions as there are with most generalizations). |
