"Overused" by today's standards, not by standards back then.

Some people like to say that people change, but their is plenty of proof that people don't change.

If it was a planned murder or multiple of them, death penalty all the way, it's much better that the people who can't do anything to benefit our society rot in the ground rather than waste tax dollars living in prison.

Also I think the guillotine is much more humane than lethal injection. Srsly.

I don't care that that has nothing to do with the thread.

It would make the one who gave him the penalty a killer too, he gets the same penalty, and then you get an endless death spiral. So no, it's crap,

Germany had the third Reich as Hitler came to leadership. That's what began the third Reich. And how does that, in any way, relate to the War? Also, WWI was completely different.



Killing wasn't overused. It was used less than ever before in history. People protested against political situations and not the death penalty.

I don't know, Its been 7 years since my last history lesson.

Also, death by scythe wasn't overused.

Death by be-heading and hanging was overused in england.

Laws and punishments are partly there to scare people away from doing illegal things, so I think that justifies it. Plus it's rarely used.

That killing scythe was overused, people got angry. They got into protest. Leading to more problems, leading to the first world war.

The first world war was in 1914, when they did not use the killing scythe. work on your history.

Like they'd get angry in one year.
These things might be going for a while, let's say centuries..?

I think the death penalty may only be done when there is absolute proof that the suspect killed someone. If he kills someone, why give him the opportunity to make his life better? He did the worst thing possible you can do to someone. The killer doesn't deserve anything less then death. That includes pity.

You said that people protested against death penalty and that that would be the relation between the death penalty and WWI, which is bullshit.

What the hell does self-defense have to do with anything here?

The problem about the death penalty is that it's... fatal. If you screw up and kill someone innocent, oh boy. I don't see anything wrong with the judgement of killing somebody who has killed somebody else out of reasons such as greediness is sure worth death penalty in my eyes. It's erasing a life just for the sake of one's own luxury and something where I don't see anything wrong with the death penalty. And of course, shit like genocide or massive mass-murder (Hussein, for example) is something that well deserves such a penalty in my eyes.

However, it's too insecure because a made mistake can't be revised with letting someone go and paying him some money to get his life going again, which is why I am against the death penalty afterall.


QFT

largely the same reasons i disagree with it.

if you kill an innocent person, thats just wrong.
