We could drop all the lifers in the middle of the sea and let the sharks eat them!

Problem solved.

That's the Death Penalty in the Evil Gemini fashion!!! :lol:

You could also drop 'em on an islet in the middle of the sea. You'd have to forbid air and sea traffic round the islet because someone could pick 'em up.
Well our beaches might suffer cause there would be so many bottles with messages in it. We can drop loads of drugs on the islet so they are all stoned and dont bother us anymore. :smoke:

I fully appreciate why people feel that "an eye for an eye" is a legitimate way to decide things. It seems like natural justice.

However I remain of the opinion that the deliberate taking of life is wrong. As such I do not wish society to do it in my name. I am fortunate to live in a country where this is not the case.

Well I believe what God tells me in the bible, an eye for an eye, if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.

You gotta read the rest of the passage Billy.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Mat 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.

Mat 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Mat 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Mat 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Mat 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

Mat 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?

Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

im against the death penalty not as a human rights thing just cause i see life in prison as a worse punishment
to be honest id rather die than spend the rest of my life the countrys worse criminals rapists murders etc
those fucks on death penalty have the easy way out they deserve a lot worse
:D

Well.......then you pay for it........alone. <_<

Apologies for not being perspicuous.

Sorry, I&#39;m not entirely sure what you mean.

Could you clarify for an old man, [/b][/quote]
:lol:

Deathpenalty means you lower yourself to the standards of the accused and worse.
