GUEST17199	Why don't all criminals simply take a polygraph test instead of going through the whole court process with lawyers and all of that?

GUEST61179	I think that for crimes such as murder, rape etc. should be punishable by death but to kill people for tax fraud??!! I think it's a bit extreme.

GUESTTHIS GUY	well you see the death penalty is homo and like should be stopped and stuff because its an easy escape for the criminal why should we be doing him a favor why not let him suffer in jail and make him go back to the murder ever day for the rest of his life

GUEST3069	GUESTTHI, He kills other people and it is fair to take away his life. Putting him in jail is not a good idea.

A doctor used to tell me why he cut a finger of a diabetic, so that he can save other fingers, or the grangrene won't spread to other good fingers. Will we hate the doctors? Probably yes and no. Killing a murderer is eliminating him from the good society so that he won't be able to harm other innocent people anymore. When someone is murdered, we don't feel anything or won't feel so sad because it never happens to us. What if someone murders our loved ones?

What if someone murder our loved ones? I think that I will take revenge. He killed a person so he should pay his life for what he has done. Carlos, what about you? Will U see him stay in the prison in the rest of his life or get killed?

Too many? I imagine that you would argue that even one is "too many." ...and in an ideal world I would agree. This is not an ideal world. In some of those cases (maybe most of those cases), the "innocent" you describe were not guilty of tha...

Im sorry, but before making comments and stating things you believe to be facts you should really do some research. There are people who have been killed because of the death penalty that later turned out to be completely innocent of having commited any crime. And who are you to state that someones life should be taken away. "An eye for an eye, only makes the world more blind" I strongly suggest before you start talking you do some research.

Of course there are, but it is a truly insignificant percentage if you consider the number of cold blooded murderers. It is unfortunate, but as long as a bad person lives they have the opportunity to do harm to a decent person again.

I am a citizen who believes in good herd health. A farmer with an animal that harms the rest of the herd sends it off for slaughter.

I made my comments knowing the facts. The "facts" do not sway me because in the big picture they are trivial.

I might agree that this should not be the job of government. Perhaps it would be better to allow fathers whose daughters and wife have been beaten and raped to within an inch of their life perform the execution.

Montana still has a law on the books that calls for hanging horse thieves, which IMO is right and proper. It might keep young hoodlums in line if we extended that law to car thieves too. The world is over-populated, don't you know, so we have no need for riffraff. It would not bother my heart one bit to see a 100-fold increase in executions in the US, but while I think it would be good for Americans, each country should follow its collective heart.
