Of course it should. It's barbaric and doesn't do a damn thing to deter crime. There are very good reasons why no civilized countries support the death penalty any more.

Yes, I do think the death penalty should be abolished globally. The reason I think this is because I do not think it is ever right to take the life of another, and also because the legal system can never be without error. I sometimes think it is better for one guilty person to go free, than it is for one innocent person to be killed in error.

but if you dont then you would have jails that are already to crouded will murders that need to be put down. i think that they should have the same kind of punishment that they gave to get in that place. i think that it should be done differently then how its done now. i think that who ever has done murder should just get a bullet in their head and be done with it.

I think this question should only be answered by those who have been either directly or indirectly affected, traumatised, etc. by a brutal, murderous crime.

honestly, i hate the though of death. peaceful death i can sort of deal with, but not as punishment. though, i don't think im in any possition to make that decision

yes death penalty should be abolished......and those who think it is barbaric forget that the people who suffer death penalty are also barbaric as the are given death penalty only because of severe crimes such as murder...rape...etc..those who dont care for the lives of other human beings should not be allowed to live in this world....

I know that a lot of people wont agree with me and I may get downrated but at least I am being honest..... I do not think that the death penalty should be abolished, in fact, i think it should be reinstated in countries that no longer have it but only for murderers. In a situation where there is no doubt of who commited the murder (that was not self defense but pre-meditated) then why should that person be allowed to carry on living. You hear about some murderers in prisons in England who live very comfortable, cushy lives in prison - how can that be classed as a punishment. All of this - at the tax payers expence! Murderers destroy the lives of so many people, not just those who they kill and they shold be made to pay for that.

If a country is going to proscribe rights to a convict, I think the country can also proscribe death. Though I do have a better solution. We put people in prison because they demonstrate their unwillingness to follow the law. The reason we have laws is because it allows for a civilized society. We give up some rights in exchange for protection. I think we should build an island and every country should banish their convicts to the island. The island will have no laws other then Darwin's principle "survival of the fittest." After all, if everyone ignored the law like the convicts did, that would be the result. Moreover, there would be no fairer punishment. You don't want to follow the law, that is fine, we will send you to a place without laws.

No. I should be declared supreme executioner with rights to kill anyone who annoys me. First on the list: disruptive students or anyone else that seems like a spoilt brat. Next: those who brought in the 'nanny laws' (bike helmets, swimming pool fences ...). Next: anyone who thinks bank fees are a good idea. Next: anyone who brainlessly utters 'goody goody sayings' (eg "Money can't buy happiness" - sure it can't, but poverty buys even less) without anything 'real' to add to the conversation ... Actually, my mind is a bit rusty on who I'd like to kill but I'm sure if I spent more time thinking about it then it would all come back to me. I can assure you that by the end of it there would be no oil shortage or pollution problems but whoever is left standing might be a little lonely! Actually, I'd kill all the lonely people too. No one should have to live through that.

There is of course a perfect solution, that should keep most of us happy - we can allow the death penalty for politicians guilty of war crimes and then only to be applicable in the bottom left hand corner of Cuthbert Twaddle's garden in Nether Wallop.

For those who want figures, they are freely available from the World Health Organisation and the UN, as well as many NGO's and other organisations. Poverty, ignorance, disease and lack of opportunity are not freedoms, as Anonymous maintains, they are the legacy of the greed and dishonesty of the corpocracy that is America's ruling regime. It isn't therefore surprising that, in a country in which people are seen only as consumers, the government believes it has the right to murder - a practice which does nothing to bring down crime. And Anonymous, the more you prattle on and make things up, the more you embarrass yourself.
