    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    The Death Penalty

    iirc, doesn't the EU also have much stricter gun control laws? That is also a factor I believe. However, I'm off topic.

    The Death Penalty

    Yes but if you don't use it then people no you won't, and it doesn't work. If you do use it then you're killing someone. :/ And people murder people all the time, the death penalty doesn't seem to be stopping them.

    The Death Penalty

    I don't necessarily agree with the idea of a program where the gov tries to change people's behavior and then let them out if they pass a test or something. It is a nice idea, but there are such people as sociopaths who are plain evil and cannot be changed. In a program like you describe, the...

    The Death Penalty

    I believe that abortion =/= killing a human being, just something that could become one, and is no worse then killing a sperm cell or an egg. I believe the death penalty = killing a human being. But abortion is in a different debate, so don't bring it up.

    The Death Penalty

    You can't use this as an argument because you're saying that even with the death penalty in place as it is today, too many rapists/killers/etc still get out on parole or good behavior and re-offend. How would getting rid of the death penalty and replacing it with LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE (That means...

    The Death Penalty

    The thing is, we don't know weather or not it is painful, because they actually inject the person with a needle multiple times. One is to completely paralyze them so they can't move, and the second stops the heart. It is the second shot that people think might be extremely painful. And if you...

    The Death Penalty

    Well if you want to be so pessimistic about it... Humanity as in living by common morals that the majority of humans share, i.e., killing is bad.

    The Death Penalty

    *clears throat* You say that the death penalty is an equal punishment for something like kidnap, rape, and murder. The thing is, the prisoner isn't going to get raped and kidnapped, just murdered. That seems to be letting him off pretty easily, don't you think? How can you tell which ones...

    The Death Penalty

    Two words: Solitary Confinement And besides, you could always say "oh noez they can escap" Lock them in a jail cell? They might escape! Lock them in a jail cell with no contact with any human beings? They might escape! Lock them in a solid steel cube, with 20 foot thick walls? They might...

    The Death Penalty

    Obviously, Dragon_night, you haven't thought this through. How the hell is a person going to kill someone if they are in prison for life. How are thy going to reproduce to spread their "deformity." Wow, it seems that sending someone to prison for life without parole has the same effects as...

    The Death Penalty

    Killing another human being is wrong no matter how you try to defend it. I understand that it costs a lot of money to keep a prisoner fed and alive. However, that money is necessary to remain human beings. Seconded.
