It is more than just the financial costs. Death penalty is a political mine field and is highly unethical and well it does not belong in a civilised world.

In my opinion: people who support the death penalty are just as civilised as Hitler/Stalin/Mao and many other benevolent dictators past and present. 

The death penalty costs two or three times more than keeping a man in prison for 30 or 40 years. Political protests and long drawn out appeal processes often come with a death penalty in a so called democratic nation. 

What if the man executed was framed and he was innocent of all charges? That would be a tragedy and definitely not

Executing a man is like torturing a defenceless animal to death. It is barbaric, cruel and not civilised. Shame, shame, shame! The government/state/crown should not kill. 

As for the abortion debate well I am pro-choice on that issue. It is up to the female to decide and the government should not interfere with personal issues. Drug addicts should be forced to have abortions and be sterilised. 

I'm all for the death penalty. Murderer's, rapists, child molesters, armed robbers and other scum like this can't be rehabilitated and its much cheaper to kill them than it is to pay for their food and rent (aka prison) for 20 years.

I say kill the bastards.

How are you "almost totally against it", when in your previous post (the part I originally quoted" you were willing to practice it.

Your against the death penalty, but are for killing someone due to there acts? Explain that please :)

The death penalty is used in Islamic nations and Asian nations to install fear, respect and discipline into citizens to ensure law and order is maintained. Death penalty permanently silences political opponents and criminals. 

Shari'a law could be implemented worldwide and only then the majority would support the death penalty. Stone to death prostuitutes spreading disease and committing adultery and all other criminals who commit serious offences. Mass killings without trial but an Ayatollah/High priest makes the final decision. Crime rates in Islamic nations are low because they live in fear. 

The mob chants: Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! 

Death penalty is the verdict. Quick execution and in front of a blood thirsty crowd aka Roman Gladiator style. 

Shari'a law is considered fair, just and democratic. Tax payers money is saved because there is no legal defence. Quick easy kill and silence of political opponents. 

Chinese efficient style of executions without a fair trial would help save tax payers dollars and eliminate a chance of a legal appeal. Quick execution without a legal defense and save tax payers dollars. Crime rates in China are low because they live in fear and  people can be taken away for any reason. 

See, this is why I never want to have kids. I've heard way too many horror stories like this.

The irnoy is that these individuals also are generally the religious croud, which makes their stance all the more odd.

Yep, if you're pro-choice/anti-death penalty and consider a fetus in its early stages human you would have to do quite some moral manuevering.

Pro-life/pro-death penalty I guess consider a fetus an innocent?

Fanatical Christians and fantaticals Islam believe religion must be applied to society without question. Religious conservative fundamentalists. Shari'a law is application of conservative religion to law and order which governs society, very similar to the ultra conservative applications of Catholicism pre-16th century.

Religious fundamentalists want to see the reformation of church and state and the laws must strictly apply religious doctrine.

I am curious numo... are you actually a human being? 'Cause whenver I read one of your posts it's as if a machine/AI wrote it.

It's not a horror story really... it's just, that part of the brain of consiousness dosn't exist yet.

That's why you can't fully diagnose a sociopath until there nearly adults, because sociopathic behavior on some level is NORMAL with kids.
