The Death Penalty

[The Devil Himself]

According to the Bible, however, it isn't our right to judge. Right? Well, as far as I'm concerned, a white lie is as sinful as murder and the death penalty is as sinful as judging a SAT test score. So I'm discarding that evidence, especially since you can't preach to a non-Christian anyway. So find another argument.

Then what was the point of that paragraph? And can you explain your logic on a small lie being as "sinful" as murder? Bringing religion into non-religious debates never work.

What do you mean it's disgusting and inhuman anyway? Is it better to lock people up like animals or slaughter 'em? You tell me. I was thinking that we could cut costs by feeding prisoners the free meat off death row.

Which is exactly one of the major conflicts of the Death Penalty topic. The fate of a criminal's punishment lies in the opinion of a person--usually a judge. If the judge is right-wing, they'll usually sentence him to death. And of course, it's the opposite with left-wings usually.

As far as innocents, well, that happens. Innocents will spend 50 years in jail too. Dunno if I'd rather die or spend 50 years in jail... Either way, I can't allow that to deter me. Not when so many innocents are dying or having their lives ruined outside of the court systems. The percentage of innocents on death row has to be small anyway. Isn't it?

What exactly are you trying to say when you say, "As far as innocents, well, that happens"?

And If you were innocent, yet convicted of a crime punishable by death, would you rather die or spend 50 years in jail with hope that the real suspect is caught within that time period?

As for the percentages, there aren't much statistics available about those since everyone on death row is charged guilty.

Your argument to me seems more religious and sadistically based.
