Under no circumstances should the death penalty be used. The state cannot decide to kill people. Although I am way way way more liberal on this particular debate then most people. I think 99% of criminals should be in rehabilitation not jail.

Anti death penalty to the max.

I am also against that.

So... should one country attack your country you believe the government shouldn't defend itself?

Afterall it would be deciding to kill people to save itself.

anti death penalty

I'm for the death penalty. Murderers have no place in this world. As the bible says "an eye for an eye"

 If a kid punched me in the school playground, should I punch him back?

I don't think your analogy is valid, seeing as you can't put a country in Jail or rehab.

 I thought Jesus said "turn the other cheek"?

I prefer Ghandi's quote, "an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind."

There is no analogy.  You said you were against war... and that the state has no right to decide to take any life.

By deploying troops in defense.  Said state is choosing to take lives.

I'm neutral, but I'll go with anti-death penalty.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I'm pro, but mainly because I believe that there are some people who are too dangerous to be kept alive, and it is in the best interest of humanity to get rid of them. Basically, I'd rather not risk certain people escaping from jail; however improbable it may seem.

I guess I'm only pro in a few cases... huh. Put me down as pro anyway, I guess.
