1st sentance goes - Americans are losing their appetite for the death penalty. Texas is the exception.

This is one of the conservative things about what I go with the Americans.
If it has been proven that somebody did something horrible, he should get the death sentence. Not for killing the molester of your chil for instance. There should be a very clear line between what is a death sentence offense and what not.

Against death penalty. Verdicts are, in most cases, based on a limited amount on info, so mistakes happens. Nothing gained by killing 90% guilty peps and 10% innocent. Life in prison should do the trick...

PS: That's a quality source m8 - like to see kids reading the Economist

Jails cost loads of money.

This has always been tough for me.. I see people who rape and murder
little kids and to me life in jail just isn't enough. I think they should be
killed the same way as they killed the little child.

There are some sick sick people in this world. I have had the pleasure of
dealing with all kinds... For some people jail just isn't enough.

Now if someone goes out and drinks then drives and kills someone then
jail is enough..

Yes it should be a very fine line about who gets it and who doesn't.

Let your family be the victom of a murder, and see what you think about it then.

If they sit idle at jail yes, put them working and you could actually make money out of prisons.

[Warl0rd]

Let your family be the victom of a murder, and see what you think about it then.

Let your family be a victim of innocent conviction, and see what you think about it then.

I guess there is no real winner here huh?

yeah, we sure had a close one with OJ, thank goodness his innocence was proven...(sarcasm)

to me the death penalty is like abortion. only in extreme cases.
