Death sentence. Yes or no?

Care to point out where I said anything about the murderers emotions?

Moving back to your first point, you don't need to kill someone to do that. Kidnapping and robbery also fall into the catagory of taking away another persons rights, why aren't we killing robbers?

You know, this is kind of off topic but I've actually always wanted to ask this:

What's wrong with revenge anyway? Don't give me a movie line too ("Revenge will consume you! Dun dun dun!!!"). What's wrong with it? Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Boston gets very, very cold. Revenge is good for the human soul.

In general, or in this context?

In the general sense, revenge is bad because in most cases it doesn't actually make the person seeking it feel better.

In the context of the death penalty, it's an emotional response which as I said before, I don't feel has any place in our justice system. It's why when somebody beats you up, and he person who did it gets arrested, they don't kick the shit out of him for his crime.
