I wonder how long it's going to be before we have a dialogue about ending the death penalty in this country.

DamNationDiplomat: I think that dialogue will happen soon. Twelve states, as well as the District of Columbia, have done away with the death penalty already. As more states join them, it's just a matter of time before the topic is addressed on a national level.

Every politician knows that being tough on crime will guarantee them votes from the people that think FOX is news and since getting elected is so much more important than doing the right thing I don't expect any change.

im kind of torn on this subject... in extreme cases like a serial murder, or something of that type, not getting the death penalty?... i dont really want my tax dollars giving food and shelter to those types. maybe im just a cold hearted bastard =/ but i honestly think some people are better off dead. what is the argument against the death penalty? just that it is subjectively morally wrong??

I was pro-death penalty for a short time for much the same reason, but i now oppose it even for the worst of the worst because killing a person is NOT an act of punishment, it's an act of revenge, and justice should NEVER be about vengeance.

perhaps..., but there is no benefit in keeping around cretins in a cage. i mean thats a lot of money these people will leach off of hard working people, money that can go toward the betterment of society.

sheepwshotguns rather than give my view I'll just point out that if you want to know the arguments against it there is a video on here with jeremy irons. If you type Jeremy Irons death penalty you'll find it.

not sure if i found it, there was only a 3 min clip. the arguments seemed weak and unsupported. i will try to find a much more thorough debate.
