    I think we kill them, not to teach a lesson to them but to others who may think they can kill and get away with it. Plus some killers can never be rehabilitated. They will forever be useless to society and a threat to all. Why keep them? Trouble is, the death penalty will never work as a deterrent if the states that have it do not use it. 

    If you kill the killers one thing is certain.........THEY WON'T DO IT AGAIN!!!

    I think that's the point of capital punishment. .......not that i'm for it.

    I like to have a problem resolved,done and over. I dont think having them do 30 years of time and the executing them is right . One or the other not both . 1 Appeal and thats it get it done .

    The final lesson.

    Well written ... too true.  

    because it stops  them from killing more people. Not to say that I'm for capital punishment.

    Because it is thought to be a deterent - quite mistakenly. Nobody has the right to do this in my opinion. Very controvesial subject.

    Please, be civilized.  Legally killing someone is called "the Death Penalty"  or "Execution", or "Capital Punishment".  
     In those contexts, it is perfectly acceptable.  Everybody is supposed to go along with this.....

    I use to be against the death penalty, until i started working in prisons across the USA. These violent people are taking up my oxygen for no reason and they serve no purpose to life.

    This is a tough one. I just cannot be for capital punishment. No matter what.

    My humble opinion, we can not kill a criminal "to teach them a lesson " as they will be dead so no lesson is learned by the dead person. As Colleen said hopefully to deter others. Has`not worked to date.


    With regards to killing in wars, local or global, there appears to be no other way mankind seems to be able to resolve differences.


    My answer why we kill people who kill people is due to one indisputable fact.
