Is it really effective to KILL people for killing people?

An eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth.

but then surely, if someone gets killed, then the murderer gets killed by the executioner (sp?), that makes the executioner a murderer, so then he has to be killed etc etc and it keeps going in a circle

No, If someone commits murder they should fall to the same fate. That being said in my opinion that doesnt make the excutioner a murderer. Put it this way if someone killed one of your loved ones, your telling me you wouldnt want them to meet the same fate? I know for sure I would, so be it if I have blood on my hands. An eye for an eye.

Just my :twocents:

the simple definition of murder is "kill intentionally and with premeditation", which technically makes the executioner a murderer. personally i wouldnt want someone who murdered a loved one killed, i would want them maimed and scarred for life so they had to live with everone knowing what they did

And what would that teach them and would that stop them from commiting the same act again? I think not! Murderers, rapists, paedophiles etc should all face the death penalty! They dont deserve to breath the air given to them and certainly dont deserve the life they've been given.

We don't have laws to exact revenge for misdeeds. We have laws to protect the law-abiding. An eye for an eye just leads to a world full of blind people.

That said, I'm not really against the death penalty for the most heinous of offenses, in principle. I'm against the death penalty because it costs the taxpayers more to kill someone than to just lock them away forever. I don't think we should execute anyone at all though unless the evidence against them is absolutely ironclad, backed up by video and DNA preferably, because once you kill someone you can't take it back if it was an error, and 'oops, sorry, it was just an innocent mistake' doesnt cut it as an excuse.

it's clear that no-one you care for has ever been murdered by another human being, otherwise i'm sure you'd agree with the death penalty, i only wish they still had it in the UK.

The most obvious advantage to the death penalty is that the person receiving it will never have the opportunity to kill again. It also saves the taxpayers money unless, of course, there are legal expenses associated with finalizing the sentence and appeal(s). Letting theM "rot" isn't so realistic, since many people in jail actually have a nice life compared with their victim(s) and their families.

there is the death penalty in the UK still technically, but only for treason. in theory you could be hung for putting a postage stamp on upside down.
