I'm against the death penalty. We don't get rid of bad people by killing them, because they then go to the afterlife and can roam freely and create much more evil out of body than they could while in body. With all the bad people we've killed, why are there still so many more? Because they are being possessed, driven, influenced by the ones that have been sent to the other side. Better to keep criminals locked up in prisons if we really want to be safe from them for a long time. Then when they die of old age, they may not be so raging angry and so intent on doing evil. They may even have a change of heart while in prison. But mainly, prison is the safest place for us to keep them.

"I am mixed as far as this subject goes. Used to be anti-death, then went through pro-death, and toaday I just don't know (quite a few innocent people executed to date...do the research)...I don't know, will support U.S. death penalty only if it is completely overhauled, and equalized in terms of (ammong other things) gender...Way more men than women killed by far in U.S.!!!"

"THANK-YOU!!"

"When I was younger, I totaly supported the death penalty, then I was loudly against it in the 1990s. Today, I am proiud to say that I am a born-again supporter of the death penalty! However, I also now believe that it should be even crueler and barbaric (though entirely deserved) than in the manner in which we go about executing these wothless, disgusting bloody douche bags! I belive we should bring back crucifixion on the cross (up-side-down for child molesters and/or abusers), hanging, drawing and quartering, tearing assunder, slow, feet-first lowering by the throat with butchers meat hooks down into large, industrial-sized cat food factory grinders, burial alive, drowning (this would be ideal a method for male offenders, as long as female-only staff/guards are permitted to watch and keep the bastards down beneath them with their feet), burning alive on the steak to death slowly from feet up to body, locking in car trunks with no means of escape whatsoever and no food, water, drainage, or ventilation at all and the key swallowed and left litteraly to slowly run out of oxygen while simultaneously drowning in their own urine, feces and vomit, and, of course, left to the mercy of the public at large while armed guards stand by and make sure no weak, stupid liberal could ever let them out. That's what I think!"

"THANK-YOU!!"

"I will just set something straight about the issue at hand right now...I think I may have gone a bit far in my last reply, so here goes. Yes i do currently support the death penalty, but I think it should actualy be done instantaneously and painlessly. Preferably by lethal injection or firing squad with rifles. And that's it."
