Well actually, just so you know, it is not an established fact that it is not a deterrent. That’s a load of crap. There’s no way to prove it is and no way to prove it isn’t. Most of the states that don’t have the death penalty have generally smaller populations than those who do and second there are so many underlying factors (such as gun laws, race division, and other things) that it is impossible to track whether the death penalty is a deterrent or not. But I would rather risk having the death penalty rather than risk not having it and finding out that it is.

Second We are NOT the only modern country with the death penalty. That’s bogus. We may be one of three “advanced” countries with it but we are NOT the only one in the entire world who has it.

We have triple the murder rate of Britain? Aren’t we like 30 times britain’s size? So, is that saying anything?

Who’s cheering for war? Did I miss that somewhere? Everywhere I look people are griping about the war and saying we want out of it.

Look up your facts next time because you are SOO wrong.

(Oh and just so you know we are ranked 89th on the list for the number of intentional homicides by country, with El Salvador being the highest and Palau being the lowest.)

I am not a desperate or low life person. I am a Christian, and I support the death penalty. We need retribution for our dead. I don’t have enough space here to argue my point, but doing a little bit of research proves that the death penalty can save dozens of innocent people for the life of just one murderer.

Turn the other cheek does not mean kick me and then kick me, again or rape my wife and while your at it, my daughter too.

Use some sense.

It has been well known, with theological teachings, for thousands of years, that this commandment is a prohibition against illiicit killings such as murder, not licit killings such as self defense, just war or executions of wrongdoers.

The proper translation is thou shalt not murder or more properly thou shalt not commit illicit killings.

Pope Innocent I” “It must be remembered that power was granted by God [to the magistrates], and to avenge crime by the sword was permitted. He who carries out this vengeance is God’s minister (Romans 13:1-4). Why should we condemn a practice that all hold to be permitted by God? We uphold, therefore, what has been observed until now, in order not to alter the discipline and so that we may not appear to act contrary to God’s authority.

Inmates that are removed from the Death Machine are buried in card board boxes – silly. The marker is their prison number and no name.

I have heard those who do the job say just that “it is just a job” and most of them say they have no feelings about it one way or another and one even said he enjoyed doing it.

You need to take a look at the deaths and how they happened. Many committed suscide or died of diseases. Many have gone insane and or being pumped up with drugs so they can be declared sane enough to be sent to the Texas Death Machine. I can assure you it is not tolerable place to be.
