You talk about Britain as if we are a minority in the civilised world by not having the death penalty.  But it's the civilised countries that you speak of that have done away or are doing away with the death penalty, all over the world, not just Britain.

It's the so called evil dictatorships and oppressive regimes that you expect to still carry the death penalty.
I myself think capital punishment is fine, but note how I said a PROPER jail sentence (e.g. a determinate life sentence... staying in your prison cell from the day you go in till the day you die) would be fine too. My reference to being civilized was in regards to the crimes being committed. Not to say that bad shit doesn't happen in the US but come on. You don't see articles very often about teenagers brutally murdering people for NO reason.
Jail is too expensive for people to have real sentences. UK is so low on jail space as it is we can't afford longer sentences.
Kill the rapists, pedos etc. And jail the people that do petty crimes like stealing etc.

jimmanycricket is right. in the UK we have too little space to place criminals and often people serve less than half of their sentence as a result. we cannot have capital punishment because that would make us as bad as the thugs that commit these kind of murders and national service would do little more than teach these people how to kill.

what we need is medieval punishments like the stocks. if someone bricked a car or pissed in someone's garden then lock them in the stocks situated in the centre of the town or village and give them no food or water except for what gets thrown at them. public humiliation would end petty crime but Britain is definatley broken.

Where is the fucked up logic in that?  "We should just put the guy who raped and killed 10 kids in prison instead of killing him, killing him wouldnt be right" "Oh why would we ever want to execute the teenagers who stabbed a whole family over nothing, that would be so wrong"

Capital punishment doesnt fucking make justice as bad as the crime. That is fucking retarded and honestly, anyone who thinks such is the same to me. Its because the idiots in charge of the UK think like that, that is the reason that the crime rate is so high and the criminals get off easy.

/rant against idiots

leaving someone to starve and possibly be beaten to death doesn't sound much more civil than the electric chair.

The law is there to uphold the values of society and in a society that beleives in christian values, killing another human being is wrong no matter what they have done. Holding the moral high ground is as important as the punishment

when i suggested the stocks i was suggesting the rotten fruit and veg idea that was so popular back then. get rid of all the rotten stuff that gets thrown out by supermarkets and put it to good use.

And two days will not kill them.

Uhm? Wow that is FAILPOST.

"Christian values"? What bible are you reading? The bible clearly states the death penalty is accepted for any murderer or rapist. If you steal something you pay it back double or 3 times its worth.

Your post reeks of so much bullshit.

when i say turn the other cheek i mean do not look to actively punish them and leave them in a state where stealing is their only way to survive. taking 3 times more from a thief convicted of stealing cannot work.

Im going to stop here before I let my intense desire to hunt you down and stick your head on a pole in my yard for being so retarded get the better of me.

You are so full of shit it makes me lose brain cells.

Done with thread.

Extradite them all to Texas, we'll take care of them.

The states that have the death penalty have larger homicide rates, and the rate of executions is uncorrelated to the rise and fall of homicide rates.
Really? Looks like a pretty stunning correlation to me.

Aye, just look near the end. Executions go up dramatically, murders go down dramatically.
