A society that maintains a death penalty option is not an evolved society.
Shame on America for maintaining it.
Yes, most death penalty sentencees are despicable people. This is not in their defense. It is about the small piece of ourselves we give with each such sentence.
Charles Manson is proof that life sentences can have meaning.
The Innocence Project is proof that we, as a society, are incapable of administering such an irrevocable determination.

So tell me foul smelling jester, since having a death penalty is not evolved, when you and your buddies cry for Bush to be executed at the Hague are you guilty of not being evolved as well?

9. We are an infant society...
Compared to most of the rest of the world.
We are among the few remaining savage countries who still kill.
There's no asterisk after "Thou shalt not kill."
If only we were as evolved and nuanced as those brown people in the mid east ohh wait they have the death penalty for just being gay.

Does this mean that Juniper is against murdering unborn babies?

I still maintain that the DUmmies need to form an "Adopt a Death Row Convict" program if they are so mortified by these murderous f*cks receiving a less than brutal death than their victims.

Yeah, those other countries have evolved into chaos and insignificance. There's a model to follow. Oh and what about those lovely British folks at the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE - if that isn't newspeak I don't know what is) who decide who lives or dies based on the cost of treating them? Those people committed no crime yet they spend less time on "death row" than criminals sentenced to death in this country (with appeals it's over 10 years). And they spend their last few months suffering and in pain. That's real progressive, huh? Sounds a hell of a lot more barbaric than letting someone get 3 squares a day and are allowed endless appeals. And how many have televisions and radios? They even get a last meal of their choice. I'd bet those poor British citizens are often too sick to have a last meal of their favorite foods.

Oh holy hell in a handbasket! Did I really just read this??
Actually, IMHO, I think that we should use the death penalty more often. And not in that huggy-feely lethal injection way. That costs too much. We need to go back to the firing squad, hangings, or even the guillotine. Publicized please, so people see the consequences of actions. Perhaps then we can stop wasting so much dang money on the un-reformable.

It doesn't say that. It says, "Thou shalt not commit murder." Which is to say that killing another person deliberately and without sanction if the state is a sin. The Jews had this commandment, and the death penalty, and waged war. I think I'll take their word for it over any DUmmie.
Jesus didn't directly oppose the death penalty. In Mary Magdalene's case, he pointed out that the law was hypocritical for not punishing the man especially when the name of the man was know, it's what he was drawing in the sand. Unlike DUmmies, most people don't like being a hypocrite if they have a choice. In the case of the soldiers that Jesus met, he never once told them they were wrong because they might kill someone. He merely said to "soldier well" which meant to carry out their duties as ethically as they could manage. Again, do I take a DUmmies word for it or Jesus? Not really a hard choice.

I think the Death Penalty should be confined to Treason and for use in the Military in Battle.
Personally, if given the choice of life in a cage or death, I'd choose death. Make the ****ers live in a cage for the rest of their life.

What if those "****ers" get lose and injure or kill more people. The state has a sovereign responsibility to protect it's citizens from criminals. If a person has been deemed unfit to ever be free, then that person has also been deemed unfit to live.

How about we let them die with as much dignity, compassion and decency that they allowed their victims.

In most cases that would break the cruel and unusual punishment. The entire point of that particular provision is to maintain moral superiority.

I wonder if the stinky bastard would keep those two guys that raped and murdered that mother and her two daughters at his place.

The problem is we have to pay for them to live in a cage. That money can be better spent on someone who hasn't killed another human being. And no more endless appeals. One or two should be sufficient. Then kill the bastard. They can live in a cage in hell. Oh, and you can cut the nuts off of rapists, too.

I could live without the death penalty if ...IF... they would put them in a cell at the same level (conditions) of prison cells as those of 1800, weld the door shut and don't let them out again for no reason until they're dead.

I never look at criminal punishment as a matter of cost to society but as a matter of what does the criminal having coming to him.
It could be very cost effective to snuff tens of thousands of criminals simply to have done with them but we will find ourselves saying, "he doesn't deserve that" about a great many offenses.
Nor, should rehabilitation be the objective because great amounts of cruelty could be inflicted in the name of a cure.
Always give a man what he deserves. Nothing more and nothing less.

Personally, I think that the taxpayers should not be forced to pay for the care and housing of human waste. The death penalty is a good deterrent as well as good housekeeping.
The objective of a civilized society is to keep it that way.

Well maybe so but it is a shit-load of a safer society.
The tragedy is NOT the state (the citizens) executing a criminal human being. The tragedy is the state (the citizens) being FORCED to terminate the life of a criminal human being to PROTECT itself.

I agree Jake but you must guarantee those '****ers' NEVER get out of their cage unless in a bag.

**** it, I'm not even reading the thread. I'm having such a bad day, I'd like to execute everybody. Guilty as charged. Zap.

Alcohol can help knock out a cold. What I'm trying to figure is what gouging out ones eyes has to do with it? :-)

If anything, the death penalty is applied to too few laws and far too infrequently even then. It is a reasonable societal sanction. It's not evolved to have rejected the death penalty. It's degenerate--the evolution of the parasite.

I wonder how these 'evolved' idiots would feel if their loved ones were murdered by a socio or psychopath? Would they really want that murderer to go free and kill others? Oh wait, they are 'progressives' who think murderers are just 'misunderstood.' ::)
-
I have a clear enough idea of what those morons regard as an 'Evolved society' to know it's definitely not my kind of place.

Of course! They are a priori defining non-use of the death penalty as "evolved" and use of it as "non-evolved." It's a stupid misuse of "evolve" or any form of the word "evolution, anyway. There's no such thing as "more evolved" in evolutionary theory, just "more complex" or "better adapted" (neither of which are requirements for the other).
What the we-automatically-reject-majority-thinking-and-natural-human-impulse-crowd-because-it-makes-us-oh-so-way-more-cool-not-to-be-in-the-majority means is better. But by whose standards? Oh, theirs. Their instinctive, unreasoning, just-because-we-say-so, founded-only-within-their-own-heads standards.

Ah, yes. All the red diaper doper babies. Them too. :-)
