The Death Penalty

Please note that this is just my opinion. I'm sure you all have different views, feel free to share them in the comments box. But don't say I'm wrong, because I'm not as opinions can't be wrong.

The death penalty is, in my opinion, wrong. Killing someone is unforgivable. We should not ourselves kill if we see it as a crime, it's hypocrisy in its most brutal form.

When I voice this opinion I am often faced with the question "What about Hitler, if he was still alive surely he deserves to be killed."
Well, Hitler killed 6 million people. Why would you that to become 6 million and 1?

As I have said before, if you have any other points of view then please put them in the comments box, I love a good debate.

Im just a guy who likes reading, writing and loves the beauty of words. How they can make you laugh, cry, and alter your way of thinking forever. Words simply fascinate me. I'm always writing and reading. It's nice to find an audience who share my interests. When you're young it's apparently not 'cool' to read and write. But I'm the sort of guy who doesn't really care if others think bad of him. Peace, love and beautiful words.

@Kinuthia A man murders children. He rapes innocent women. He is vile, disgusting, and of no use to society. We put him in prison. What happens there? We spend the equivalent of a full college tuition to keep this prisoner fed, to pay his guards and the electricity that power the facility. We s

@Kinuthia we spend money on someone who isn't worth a fuck, and deprive it for those who truly need it to make a change in this world. So no. I disagree with you. Spending money on murderers, rapists &

@SubatomicRepublic & pedophiles

@SubatomicRepublic (sorry, send button sucks) is wrong.

I have no reply, your reasoning is just too good @SubatomicRepublic

@Kinuthia I don't like the death penalty either. But I can't say I'm against it. Do you feel this way too?
