Most people don’t want to die, and figure they could get away with a prison term than death.
But i have a compromise…hjow about we work 100% DNA proven convicted killers in work camps…so they work themselves to death. IO just want a horrible punishment for ones who murder.
note: DNA evidence just shows that someone has been at a crime scene. It does not actually demonstrate that someone shot/knifed/bashed-a-head-into someone. A forensics expert gave us an interesting talk on this, and although DNA evidence is VERY handy (small amounts may be amplified etc.) it is not a photograph of a murder scene.
oh i understand. but if you have DNA, whitnesses, and pretty much a crap-load of evidence that the man is guilty (like OJ), then they deserve that punishment.
Unfortunately, i have forgotten where to find it. But there was a nice “game” on “can you read percentages” somewhere. It had an example where you should do a verdict based on a DNA test. Once version was with percentages, the other one with relations like “one out of 10.000” (which is 0.01%) And then take the average chance of ppl having distinct DNA features (say, having a base population of 1 million around)…. that was funny to see how different the judging was.
Blah, don’t get me started on OJ. DNA does prove that a person was at the crime scene but it also could prove that a person did it when DNA is in certain places (to tired to think of examples). As far as working a person to death, think of what the potential cons of are this.

(sorry - i couldn’t resist)
Sorry, guess you lost me with your last post too. I should get some sleep. Maybe then I will understand.
No, thank you for providing me with such a funny quote. You did the creative work.
Ah, I see now. Thanks for noticing the screw up on the typing. Being an insomniac sucks on educational forums like this.
The Death Penalty should be abolished.
(Kind of off topic, I just thought Imight throw it out there j/k)
Agreed

Actually D/c, i was just enjoying the pun - playing on the word “con” (as in pro’s and con’s versus convict) - i’m not such a tight ass that i had any problems with your typing . . . i knew what you meant.

why because its racist? Kill the crackers, kill the spiks, kill low-life killers. regardless of race. A killer deserves the racial slur!
BTW, the cons of work camps…
cruel and unusual punishment…why can’t they use the rock picks that the chinese used to make holes in mountains for the railroads?
they might refuse to work…then don’t feed them.
Horten, what is this about the death penalty being racist? I have not seen any of this, but I agree with yourbuttocks, the death penalty should be abolished.
They are. Just look at any anti-death penalty site. I don’t have it on me, but I seen it on the news, at school, every where. Believe me. Or don’t and look it up.
well, after watching The Simpsons tonight, i’ve done a one-eighty on my original stance against the death penalty. It took TV to show me that not only might the death penalty be useful, however it may well prove entertaining as well. I think that given the dreck that is network television, the death penalty could really liven things up. And i’m sure that a network such as Fox could give it that wholesome yet artistic appeal that the other networks fail to do. Plus if Carmen Electra is involved (the real one - not the cartoon one), then that would be a show with everything!
How can peaple be pro-life, against Abortion, but for death penalty ?
How can a civilise society kill his how peaple ?
This is not a question of $$$
But a question of revenge
