Death Penalty?

Well, I have a weird view on this. I do agree having to live the rest of their lives in prison, makes them suffer for the crime they committed (And thats only if the feel remorse).Now when it comes to what form of death they should get, I came up with my own. I feel it's a little of a waste to kill these people and their organs going with them. I think we should put them under and remove their organs for people can will benefit. Basically make them give their lives and save other lives. They took a like, make them save a life.That's my opinion thought.

ooo, what if you get a murderous heart?Remember Homer and his hair transplant!!

Ha ha, I wanna get paid to fall asleep in court!!

16 to 17, just because someones young does not meen they dont know the differance between right and wrong. Same with retarded people, when a retarded person has done somthing wrong they know. Just because someone is young or mentaly challenged shouldnt meen they should get off easy so they can repeat the crimes again. Im sure you would feel differantly if a retarded 16 year old murdered and raped your whole family and made you watch.

If someone murders a person in my famliy or rapes my daughter or someone else I care about yeah...I'm definitely for taking them out back and leaving brain matter on the ground. I also think the punishment should fit the crime. But I also like the medieval days where if you stole my horse you'd get a finger cut off if it was your first offense. Second offense - You lose your whole hand. Just ask yourself how many assholes we're putting in prison who are REPEAT offenders. I'm damn tired of putting up with people like that.
-
Now thats a great idea!!!!!!!!! Im sure less people would comit crimes if their limbs were cut off for each time they offended. In the end they wouldnt be able to reoffend cus they would just have stumps.

If you're smarting off I don't care to hear it. =\

Jesus what the fucks up youre ass? Your head aparently. Get a sense of humor.
-
oh ok thought you meant younger.
-
Naw kids make mistakes, I belive once you get to 16 everyone should be capable of knowing whats right from wrong. I dont think people should get in a youth detention centre I think it should be propper prison with adult sentences because its not fair.
-
Dude, I'm just in a bad mood this afternoon. It has nothing to do with your particularly. I'm just in no mood to tolerate any crap from anyone.

In reply to:Now when it comes to what form of death they should get, I came up with my own. I feel it's a little of a waste to kill these people and their organs going with them. I think we should put them under and remove their organs for people can will benefit. Basically make them give their lives and save other lives. They took a like, make them save a life.That would provide a great motivation to railroad someone into a capital conviction. Killing people for profit is an utterly disgusting idea. Go reasearch what happens in China. It sounds like some people here would prefer their legal system to the U.S.'s._________________________It sounds like fun. Kill ther murderers! Mutilate them! Stab out their eyes! Cripple them! Demagogic politicians love to take advatage of asanine thinking like that, when people are all whupped up emotionally. I guarantee you, if we'd adopt that kind of system, you would live to regret it.There have been so many wrongful convictions. It would be just great every time a wrongfully convicted handless guy got out of prison. Have fun supporting his diasbeled ass for the rest of his life._________________________You know what DNA testing has shown? That eye witnesses make crappy witnesses.

Something else that ticles me is that exicution is often supported by the religious right.Not by the Roman Catholic Church.
-
Well lets see I wasnt giving you crap and my day has been completely shit, most likly far worse than yours so I could do without the patranising shit. I just dont feel the need to take out my anger on undeserving people. I take it out on a box of cigaretes or a bottle of whiskey.
-
Yeah, youre right. It just wound me up (mainly cus I have had a reaaaally shitty day, usialy things like that dont get to me) guess that makes me a bit of a hipocrite ^^. Anyway I hope her day gets better than mine did.

Ha ha, I wanna get paid to fall asleep in court!! You can get an undergraduate degree, then a law degree (specializing in criminal law), pass the bar exam in some state, then get selected to defend someone's life, while getting only a small stipend from the state. Then, when the guy gets convicted, shrug your shoulders and continue working on the cases that you're actually getting paid to work on.
-
Sounds like you dont like lawyers much.
-
The problem is the system, not the lawyers. You get what you pay for, and lawyers who are appointed to defend indigent people don't get paid much.I spent most of the day today with lawyers, and they were just fine.
-
Its messed up in my opinion. But the worlds based on money, if you havnt got much youre screwed. That goes for everything really not just court cases. But the world is run by people and thats why its corupt and f'ed up. The main thing that is wrong is the whole aspect of "countrys" and "land" If there were say 3 world leaders in charge of the world there would be no starvation and many other needless things all caused by greed. But this has its downfalls like any other system of government. Corruptions just a way of life.
