America is too lax in capital punishemnt, I think. I ythink we are too lax in all, or most punishemnt. People can now htink, if i get cuaght, it will be just a little while in jail a few years, and then I will be out, that will be well worth it. If you take a life, be prepared to have yours taken.

FOR CHRISTIANS ONLY...
Yes, capital punishemnt is Biblical. Infact if you look up in Genisis, after the flood, God COMMANDED NOAH.


5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.


If you kill, God has every right ot take your life. Notice by man shall your blood be shed. The government is the only rational group of men, that could take a live lagally, outside of war. Imagine everyone mad at a killer, and trying to kill him?
God calls on the governemtn to fufill this law.


EVERYONE...
I not only belive in capital punishemtn, but gun control. These two are much the same. They install fear. If I had desire to kill a man, or woman, and I knew there was a slim chance that I would make it out alive, I would definatly seriously reconsider. Make the people think about what they are doing. Don't slap wrists for ruining peoples lives. In capital punishment are we lowering ourselve? No, I htink not. We are saving lives by instilling fear. Its one of those hard issues to handle, like war. No man that takes a life, for irrational reasoning(not self defence, or the guy who pulls the switch) deserves to continue living. Nor should he be a burden to the tax payers to keep him alive. We save lives by taking the guilty's life.

I think every sane, competent human being that consicenously murders another human being, should be executed. There are few others that I support that for, violent rape being one.

Or the guy who robs a convenience store and calmly blows away the clerk before leaving. In cases like these, the people, through the agency of their government, have the right to exact retribution commensurate to the crime. Society’s desire for vengeance is not misplaced nor does it reduce the plaintiffs to the level of the accused.


Well said. If there is any doubt that the man has not commited the crime, then life in prison is execptable. But security cams don't lie. If there is VALID proof, take his life.
