The death penalty, otherwise known as capital punishment, is often reserved for the most cruel and horrible crimes. From the firing squad, the electric chair, to the modern day lethal injections, capital punishment is somewhat accepted today as a means of punishement, but other countries, mexico is the first one to come to me, but's it's not the only one, refuse to expidite (Send back criminals to the country where they commited their crime.) Criminals wanted by the good USA.
Do you agree with Mexico that criminals who are facing eth death penalty shouldn't be expidited?
If I;m wrong about something, especialy getting terms mixed up, go ahead to correct me.
Other than a few typos your terminology is correct
Personally i think the death penalty is used far to sparingly. I think it should be considered for ANY violent crime. I don't think that it should be used in cases where the person is genuinely sorry i.e. a robbery gone bad or a drunk driving accident. But if the person intentionally kills/brutally hurts another human being, i do not think they are fit to be in our society.
Also, Mexico is extremely corrupt. i think money has passed into hands to prevent people from getting sent back to america.I agree with Demaris completely. Except my views are even more extreme.
I think we need to punish anyone who does anything wrong using extreme punishment methods.
Example: You steal something you get one warning. You steal again... A finger gets cut off until you have no more fingers left and then move onto the other hand. Once no more fingers you die.
My punishment method would only work in a utopia though where homeless and poor people actualy get helped by the rich so they WOULDN"T have to steal. But then again, it wouldn't be a utopia then...
I hate people who steal...

That's actually what they used to do a LOONG time ago. And remember the old ways in I don't remember what country, but it goes something like "an eye for an eye".
Yeah I know thats what they did a long time ago.
It'll just stop those god-damn punk ass kids from stealing tvs and w/e.
I hate those kids...

the "eye for an eye" thing was hammurabi's code. in babylonia. A LONG time ago
i am extreme in my views just when i say my real views people call my crazy.
The finger by finger thing isn't just. if someone is stealing food to survive then can you really blame them?
mutilation is a fast way to a revolt.
as for "punk-ass kids" maybe it's the parents fault for not teaching them that stealing is wrong. I think it is socities fault for a fair amount of crimes by promoting stealing and such. Look at movies like "Gone in 60 seconds" (which promotes grand theft auto" or games like... hmm... maybe GRAND THEFT AUTO???
Games are fun and i'm not saying they are bad. GTA is a very fun game. I'm just sickened by the decilining morals in our country.Yeah, thats why my stealing idea woudn't work in that situation.
Basically, if you wanted to get rid of all the poor people, murderers, stealers, rapists, and homeless people you would come to talk to me because my views would get rid of them all. Thats the bad part though, I dont want to get rid of the poor and homeless (I want to help them), just the jacka$$es.
Also, I personally dont care if the kid's parents were to blame. The law just taught him not to steal by cutting his finger off. Fear is usually the best technique to get rid of crime. But it has its downsides to (eg revolting <--Demaris).
But isn't ruling by fear totalitarianism? 
The Teenager is to blame for his actions, i agree. BUT, if he has never been taught not to steal how is he to know otherwise? It falls upon society to teach right and wrong. Laws are for people who deviate from those teachings.
I think instead of a death penalty, we should just banish them to an island full of criminals.
And bomb the island regularly.
ohhh we could make the island a giant bound!!!
with the bombs as explosions.
Like the Escape from NY and Escape from LA movies

Not even a complex bound.
But nothing runnable. Don't want to be giving those prisoners an easy chance!
its simple... about the capital punishment... just keep them in jail... they suffer more in jail then if they are killed. if your gonna kill them for murder... do it slowly with a firing squad... shot to the leg, other leg, arm, other arm.
Or maybe if they murdered someone, kill them in the exact same way that they did.
Jail is stupid (unless you're a pedifile). You get free food, free place to live, and sometimes entertainment. If you're a pedifile you get raped every day, but usually those inmates are rare (compared to the murderers).
I say bring back the noose!

off lethal injection. I swear, that is WAY too humane. If they did something brutal and disgusting to another human being, why do they get to get off pain free? They should have a very painful death. I.E.
Slicing their tendon in their leg. (I can't remember it, the thing that let's you walk). Cut that thing and watch 'em try and walk!
It's the achilles tendon, and it's very hard to cut through so it would be excrutiatingly painful. Good idea!

Thank you!
As soon as I got done posting that I was like:
"Oh blam! It's the chilles tendon! Meh.. too lazy to edit post!"
**Looks around!
****Thinks to himself:
"Good save! No one's listening!"
I suppose years of internet has destroyed any decenty you have Forsaken aka Dark. Have you ever thought that if you 'killed them' and they were innocent, how are you going to fix the situtation?
well naturally you don't use it that willy-nilly
If you wanted ways to prolong and torture a person to death and inflict as much pain as possible you should have been online when I threatened DK with things I would do to him

It was very disturbing and long.
Why were you threatening him? Malice? Spite? Revenge?
Anyway i don't think DK commited any violent crimes.
Fire is always an option btw.
Okay, but which is worse?
Dying, or Living the rest of yoru life staring at a blank cell wall in maximum security prison?
I think prisoners shouldn't get free time, like reading and playing basket ball. Or at least rapists, murderers, most armed theives, but not people who acidentaly killed their friend by handing him a peanut butter bar- when that friend was alergic.
Anyone ever read the short story "The Bet" by Anton Chekhov. I think it gives good insight on how being in prison can be worse than death.
have you ever been to jail? you cant just read aobut it and know what its like. you can read about it all you want, but youll never know. when people wright things, they tend to exagerait. they play with the story alittle here and alittle there untill it is a fiction, and we will never know, cus we werent there. there is no way to know what something is like until you have actualy done it.
