Well, before we go back and forth many many times, I'll write a conclusion.

As it stands right now, only a small fraction of those that have murdered, are executed. The problem is whether or not this small number is a deterrant against further murders.

Some people believe it is not, because some statistics show that murder rates actually rise in counties that support the Death Penalty.

Some people believe that the death penalty is a deterrant, it just isn't used enough to actually deter people. As it stands right now, only a small fraction of a percentage of murderers get executed.

However, it is not debatable whether or not the death penalty actually is a deterrant unless we start executing a very large percentage of Murderers.

They arent scared to kill someone is because they know all they have to to is get a lawyer and at most only get 20 years, but usually get released at 5-10 on good behavior. Get a really good lawyer and they get off scott free.

Here should be the basic laws

Kill someone on purpose, you die

Kill while DUI (alcohol, drugs, etc), you are killed right then and there. An example - If you are stupid enough to be too drunk or stoned to drive and you ram your vehicle into an innocent family on vacation and kill them all, you will be killed on sight.

Molest a child, death by hanging

Now if you are a terrorist and are involved or were about to execute an operation to kill innocent lives, you will be pubically executed on live television.

I think Indiana should get credit for an additional one that has been credited to the federal government. Timothy McVeigh (the Oklahoma bomber) was executed in Terre Haute Indiana and we should get the credit for his execution.

We're the ones that are supposed to be advanced. We pride ourselves on being the best and brightest at everything, but when it comes to crime and punishment, we're rather barbaric in comparison to the rest of our more advanced friends.

Well for those who are convicted and do or do not get the death penalty in the US, we give em the free healthcare,food,lodging, and produce some of the most educated convicts in the world. Want a free college education, go to prison and get it on our dime. You are comparing the US to the third world nations despite all the frigging safeguards and almost endless appeals that we grant that aren't available in the nations that you are comparing us to. Talk about a freaking revisionist liberal! Now tell me how much more advanced our friends are?

Sandy,

Please tell me what benefit there is in warehousing creatures like those executed? I still do not see any reason to maintain folks like charley manson and others whose sole purpose seems to be to kill others for no reason. It is not considered uncivilized to put down a rabid animal, why should it be less so to remove a rabid human "animal" from preying on society.

the seven most recent studies all indicate that the death penalty is a deterent. This would seem to make sense in light of the fact that so few who are on death row give up their right to fight the death penalty..

seems every one of em would give daily blow jobs in order to escape the death penalty for life in prison...

speaking of which... I say putting someone out of their missery with the death penalty is far more humane than the liberal.... "let em suffer for life" approch. that is the real barbarism.
