babydoc_vic, those botched excecutions are awful and made me very upset... some people would say these people deserved to die in pain... but i dont. I think having the death penalty is cruel and contradictary... many of the people that are being sent to death are dying for committing the crime of murder right... and then they are getting murdered themselves. In my opinion no one person has the right to decide whether another should die... sure they may have committed an awful crime but killing them for it wont solve anything i dont think, it will just continue the cruel vicous cycle...
However, i also think the punishment for many convicted criminals is not enough... some people get more years in jail for dealing ecstacy or other drugs than murdering/raping someone... now this is fucking wrong in my opinion. People that commit really awful crimes should be locked up and the govt. should throw the key away... i think a life of no freedom is worse than death... and a life of living with the awful things you have done and perhaps the guilt, and knowing others hate you. Killing these people is just setting them free.
I dunno, i just think it is wrong in most circumstances... but then again in some cases it may be appropriate... like that guy that did the Oklahama bombing or the guy who killed all those people in Tassy, now these people are obviously cruel and obviously guilty and perhaps should be put to death, but isn't that just the easy way out.
There are so many arguments for and against this, like concerning our tax money, etc. But ultimatley... despite the fact part of me thinks sometimes it would be the right way... reading those botched excecutions was awful, nobody deserves to die like that, no matter what crime they committed, as i said it will just all turn into a cirlce of evil.
So many other things i could say but this is already too long, i have so missed so many things out here...
