"rational"
1. how does becoming a killer to punnish a killer make any sense. Here's an interesting thought on this one. If I bump into someone by accident, and they pay me back by bumping into me on purpose i'll probably get angry. If i get angry then i'll do something worse to get that person back. then that person will do something to get me back. You see, its an endless cycle and the attacks just get worse and worse. Here's another example, take the israeli palestinian conflict. Israel attacks palestine. Palestine attacks israel back with more fire power. Israel attacks Palestine with the most firepower yet. What do we get left with, a problem that keeps on growing, and a bunch of dead people and morning families. Seems like a good idea to me... When you respond to violence with violence you become just like the agressor, and then things escalate.
2. The person to be killed has a family too. Why should we create two struggling families. How does that help the original
3. We already see how well the threat of the death penalty keeps people from commiting crimes. I mean look at the news, its all happy isn't, no crimes here...
4.What if all the person needed was love, and we go an kill them, thats humane, ain't it.
5. Finally I just don't think anyone deserves to die, no matter what they've done.
"religious"
6. That person deserves a chance at redemption
7. We're all sinners, some people just commit different sins. by imposing a death penalty we are taking the power out of God's hands and deciding what sins are worst in his eyes for Him.
8. How can we expect people to not kill when the entire culture they live in thrives around killing
9. Our saviour was the one who said "Father, please forgive them for they know not what they do" wasn't he.
10. finally, What ever happened to turning the other cheek, or giving the coat along with the shirt?

Although we disagree on a lot of things, I really like this and completely agree with you on this one. I hate the death penalty; it's so hypocritical and totally inappropriate. The state should not have the right to choose anything for the people.
haha, agreed with disagreeing but agreeing on here
