Reply #39: I do know that Timothy McVeigh wanted the death penalty [View All]

because in his opinion it is much better than life in prison. Prison is a bad place to spend your entire life: no freedom, hostile environment, lonely, no women, depressing,...in many ways it is worse than death.

How could the death penalty possibly deter anything when most murders are spontaneous crimes of passion? "Oh, I hate you so much I would fucking kill you right now....but let me consider the consequences first and I'll get back to you next Tuesday?" ?!?!?!?! :crazy: While organized crime syndicates purchase influence in the justice system for their professional murderers.

Many in the "pro-life" crowd are the biggest supporters of ending someone's life with electricity or poison. It's pretty unusual to shock someone with electricity until they die...at least in the real world.

I suppose in cases of a terrorist or militant attacking our country, it's war. So like our party chairman, I support the death penalty only in very extreme circumstances. It's pretty damn unusual to brainwash your religous cult members to fly planes into tall buildings and kill 3,000 innocent people in one morning. That's extreme.
