Originally posted by vwdan View PostI'd rather nobody be given the death penalty, really. Expensive, ineffective and not befitting a civilised society.
Always have opposed it and I've yet to hear any argument to make me change my mind.
Innerestingly, Britain still had a capital offence on the statute books until as recently as 1997 - that of High Treason.
You can see why Blair prioritised the repealing of that particular law on reaching officeLast edited by Gittins Gal; 6 February 2014, 21:36.Comment

Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostI gave 2 examples above. Another would be video evidence, or when the criminal admits to it while the evidence is conclusive. Wherever the barometer is set, the point is Jimmy Saville and the like should have been put to death (if they had been found out before death of course).Comment

Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostYou haven't read all my posts. I don't believe in tags of christian/muslim/jew etc. I believe in one Universal truth which all these faiths are directing you towards. Requires a lot deeper discussion. Also there was captial punishment at some point practised by all these religions...
Odd sort of religion that one.Comment

Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostSeriously, I think the death penalty should be used in situations where it is beyond any doubt that somebody has committed heinous crimes for example Jimmy Saville or that murdering doctor (I forgot his name). Why use tax payers money to keep these people alive? The only appropriate punishment is death and let them get it in the grave.
Also... "where it is beyond any doubt" is supposed to be the criteria used for prison already. Did you want to have a new "absolutely super certain" category?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

In civil court, it's merely "on the balance of probabilities".Comment
