Are any of you that oppose the death penalty ok with war?

First of all, if you are trying to draw parallels between the two, the situations don't really overlap or have many similarities. Their really is no reason to bring up war in a discussion about the death penalty.

Second of all, while there have certainly been instances where the United States were overly quick to jump into war, war is seen as a necessary evil. If a situation exists in which America and American citizens are in danger due to the actions of another country, war is the last resort in assuring the safety of the American people. So, am I okay with war? Well I certainly am not "pro-war", however, there are some situations in which war becomes necessary...

In a perfect world. Yes. But this world runs on money. So it's not gonna happen. Because it would of already. I'm a pesamist. I agree that people can be redeemed. But when it comes to funding. People fail. I can argue other subjects. Like schooling. That should have no funding limit. Since that IS the FUTURE of the world. But still, no one cares if the world is filled with dumb shits.

While the world does run on money, the prison system is a HUGE drain on taxpayer money and it costs a lot of money to keep people imprisoned (and arguably more to implement the death penalty). While the first step in reducing these costs is alteration of penalties, the suggestions that Reim made would require an initial investment but could potentially result in a long term savings.

Money money money.
