Alot of times it's a mental disablility. Murderous people sometimes don't see things the same as we do. It can be from a chemical imbalance. Or they could just be horrible people who weren't hugged enough as a child. Either way that is a sad thing to see... I am picturing it happening to my girlfriend, or one of my friend's girlfriends, it's terrible.

I dont mean for my comment to start a whole flame war here or anything...but IMO anyone who murders another person should just be killed themselves. Just to clear up what i mean...say a person attacks you viciously, and you kill them in self defense thats a different story. But all these murders, premeditated or not, they should be punished with their own life.
I just love the idea of paying tax money so the government can spend it on prisoners...makes me feel really safe knowing all these psychos are locked up but could escape or be released and kill again. again IMO, i would feel much safer and secure knowing my tax money went to the punishment and death of killers instead of their sick, twisted, pathetic life.
So yeah, god is the ultimate judge of all those who should be ultimately punished...but who says we cant send someone to meet god early and be punished sooner??

Amen brotha man, amen. I'm with you on that one.
Sending them to meet their maker a bit sooner wouldn't hurt anyone, not even them.
I'm going to voice my disagreement with those of you who favor the death penalty. It is my belief that murder, any murder, be it commited by an individual or by a government is wrong. By agreeing with a government policy that sanctions the murder of it's citizens you are placing yourself on the same level as those who you seek to punish. Maybe I hold this belief because I live in Canada where we do not have the death penalty. Maybe it is because I have seen the result of several cases here in Canada where the offender was convicted of murder, then cleared by new evidence. If they had been convicted in any number of American states they would have been put to death. It is impossible to make right the wrong that a murder inflicts upon the victims, be they the murdered party, family or friends. This is true regardless of whether the victim is an innocent or a criminal. :sleep

I agree with you in the sense that murder on any level is wrong, but think how you would feel if some guy walks up to you and your friends and kills all of them but you. Would you still want them to live and possibly go free again? My pholosophy on this is "An eye for an eye."boMex wrote:It is my belief that murder, any murder, be it commited by an individual or by a government is wrong.

Those killers are demented... KILL ALL OF THE PSYCHOS!!! BURN THEM! If they kill, they deserve to die, but I'm not saying they should be killed. If you think about it, saying that the death pantelty is murder nomatter who kills them is kinda like saying that war heroes are murderers. They killed. Alot of the men they killed probably deserved to live more than the murderers that lurk in the prisons.

Ahhh .... the voice of reason... thank you Unregistered, you took the words right out of my mouth.... As Perry Farrel once said, "Some people SHOULD die... that's just unconcious knowledge."
An eye for an eye. Some would say..... Who are we to judge?... we are the rest of civilized society who plan on keeping it that way.... I suppose some people feel that killing convicted murderers is wrong... but killing innocent babies before they have a chance to be born is ok.... (now there is some fuel for the flames!)

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I happen to agree, war is different,.... and it is still killing,..... and it is AT LEAST as justified as putting a murderer to death.
So are you saying it's ok to kill someone for disagreeing with your beliefs, but it's not ok to kill someone that murdered an innocent girl?

No... I'm too tired to voice my opinion anymore tonight... and beyond that... who cares what I or anyone else thinks about death penalties, abortion, war, zit popping or whatever! I will certainly not change my opinion based on what some faceless internet personality has to say... nor would I expect someone else to change their opinion based on what I have to say. We all have opinions.... and none of us are an authority on any of this.... we're all car enthusiasts!!!! Lets keep it that way.

I was trying to say what you said in that first paragraph :P I agree with what you said there.
I also say that it is okay to kill in war because its either you or them. they want to kill you and you want to live. what do you do?
and i say it IS okay to kill someone that murdered any innocent person. i view murder as always premeditated, whether that means it has been planned out for a period of time, or the psycho has been thinking about killing. The second that person DECIDES in his messed up head he will kill anyone (random) to me that is premeditated because he has been thinking about it and knows what he wants to do.
manslaughter to me is an accident. person at the wrong place at the wrong time. i personally believe in reincarnation so god will hopefully reward the manslaughtered with a better life the next time around, kinda like "oops sorry that happened, earth is a crazy place. here is your new better life!"
