I do not agree with the death penalty. In most cases, because of automatic appeals, it cost more to execute. Other than to make the victims / survivors feel better for about five min. What other purpose does it serve. Just because I am against the death penalty, don't think that I am soft on crime. Nothing could be further from the truth! I’m just more interested in prevention that revenge.

I think that the death penalty is a great idea, but only if it means killing the murderer. Think of it this way. If someone has just killed your sister, brother or some other member of your family, and the killer was caught. Wouldn't you feel better if that person was killed, instead of being let out forty or fifty years form now. Yeh, the killer would be old by then, but whos to say that would stop him from taking a knife toyour throat? What do you think about the death penalty now?

To have the death penalty is a way of taking out the trash. You get rid of all the murderers and this country can actually live free. In the US, you're sapposed to live here without fear. Now, how different are we from Iraq or Baghdad if we can't walk down the street without worrying about getting shot in the head by some gang member? Having the death penalty is a way of being sure the murderers are put away and for the time being, maybe fifteen minutes or so, we actually feel safe until the next guy comes along who thinks he can get his kicks out of having someone kick the bucket. Wouldn't you want them to have the death penalty?

I agree with the death penalty. God set death as a form of punishment for a wrong. Also God does not view death as a complete end! Unless you die without seeking forgiveness. In that case you will remain punished for your wrong, by not recieving a resurrection. you will remain in death, non exsisting. Fear is the know-ledge of God!!!

Oh you had to bring religion in to this. I would also be for the death penalty if you can convince me our justice system is with out flaw. Don’t you think that death is a little to high a price for a judges bad day. We already know that many on death row were wrongfully convicted. Proven innocent through DNA evidence. If it had not been for DNA. These innocent people would have been put to death. Yeah, show me a absolute flawless system and I will say fry them to. But don’t get me wrong. I’m not against torture for some of the monsters out there. Or even enslavement. But Death? Not unless you can prove it, prove it, prove it.

TEXT Religion should be included in all things concerning our journy in life. Maybe that's why there are so many things wrong with man's judgement. Man as pushed their God, their creator to the side. Who else but the one that created man, should know how the elements of our being should be managed? Like I posted earlier, One should not view death as a end, especially concerning the innocent. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in all of the death penalty cases I have heard about, the judge, no matter how is day is going, does not hand down the verdict of the defedant. A jury is designed for this purpose. Once again I feel compelled to say, that the fear of God is knowledge!

Funny, I never heard it put that way. Hey! You just made that up! Right?

Not made up. I have a dictionary. Philosophy- A speculative inquiry concerning the source and nature of human knoledge. The key word here, is *speculative. The second clue of definition is * nature of human knowledge. Who is to say that human knowledge is absolute? Who told the human race that their knowledge is all that counts? So by this you can conclude that it is opinions.

When you post a reply such as the one above, please make sure we know what was printed in the book, verses your interpretation of what was printed. And I will conclude what I like. Thank you very much.

Once again you have me confused. Are you trying to aggravate me or do you just write before you think. Look at my last post one more time. I did write what was printed, but just in case you over looked it. Here it is again. *PHILOSOPHY- A speculative inquiry concerning the source and nature of human knowledge. Also here is the definition of the word opinion. As printed. *OPINION- A belief held often without positive knowledge or proof. Now lets compare the key words that links the two definitions together. First- SPECULATIVE. Second- WITHOUT POSITIVE KNOWLEDGE OR PROOF. Can you see it? The connection between the meaning of both words? Now Mr. Premier, you can draw you own conclusion and thanks once again for the chance to try some creative writing

I guess I am here to aggravate you, LOL. The quote below was also included in the post questioned. My request was that you make it clear what was in the book and what wasn’t. Unless you are going to tell me, the following Quote, was in the dictionary. Which is what the post suggested.

I think Big Foot is right. The death penalty is a must-have situation in this world. Of course some innocent people may be slain, but would you rather have one or two on the electric chair or thousands by the hands of murderers? I think one or two is the price you have to pay for thousands of lives. No system is flawless, so asking for a flawless system is, excuse me, rather ignorant. Wouldn't you say, Big Foot?

Yes Wolf Child I do agree with you and would like to add something. Sorry Mr. Premier, I have no other choice but to follow my heart felt conviction and once again refer to the true word of God and before I do, I would now at this time point to the reference that I will be using ;D THE HOLY BIBLE ! 1st. Corinthians, 3:19- FOR THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD. FOR IT IS WRITEN HE CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR OWN CUNNING !
