The death penalty was abolished in this country after an innocent man was hung by accident. Wherever it is in place there is ALWAYS the risk that would happen.

I love the quote I saw yesterday about an eye for eye making the whole world blind. There is just no place for capital punishment in civilised society.

the 2 points i made out were sadam and huntly what they did was unforgivable all rapists should be hung IN MY OPINION wether it be male or female. As for your comment about woman who are abused and then stab their abuser IF the abuser was hung in the firstplace they would have no need to stab them
Most abused women don't report domestic violence for a number of reasons, and are we now hanging people for being physically abusive??

As for ALL rapists, statutory rape is another grey area. An 18 year old lad sleeps with a 15 yr old girl (she gives consent) under the belief she is 16.

As for my point about if it was a member of your family, I wonder how many parents of murderes and rapsists said the same things. I'm not saying your children would do something like that but there is a very thin line that seperates offenders and non offenders generally.

I believe that you are entitled to your opinion, I am just curious as to why people get so excited and graphic about wanting to do something to a man, who was punished for doing the same things as they are thinking up. It just confuses me.


Mminxy - I love that quote too. He was a very wise guy Ghandi.

To some degree I agree! My only problem with the death sentence is that it is not impossible for someone to be wrongly convicted.

I don't know much about the death Penalty in the US but I think they are on Death Row row for quite a long time to allow appeals etc. I may be wrong!!!
