If you don't believe in the death penalty, this should change your mind.

The OP didn't change my mind.

My whole argument against the death penalty is really short. I posted this in an abortion thread on Valentine's Day:


The death penalty costs way too much money. There are 2 ways to lower the costs: abolish the death penalty entirely, which will save tons of money (good) and never accidentally kill an innocent person again (very good), or allow for speedier executions with fewer appeals, which will save money (good), but leads to more accidental executions of the innocent (very bad).

 

So, if there was 100% certainty you wouldn't have a problem with it?

I still would. Personally I think that even evil bastards such as Hitler should not have been executed - the state should never have the right to take the life of one of its own citizens.
