What crimes should get the death penalty?

[15357]

I thought a more better version of the thread could be needed.


Vote!

 

[French Ninja]

Treason and multiple murders without remorse.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Treason, Murder 1, Rape of children, murder of children, rape of foliage, rape of nature/trees, and murder of anything alive. THAT MEANS YOU MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND YOUR GOD-D*** TREE-KILLING MACHINES!!!

 

[0mar]

Other than theft, everything there should be a 1-way ticket to the gas chamber.

EDIT: WTF did not vote for murder of law enforcement??

 

[smwScott]

I think any murder should qualify for the death penalty, except under extreme circumstances (ie., the guy was an asshole). Rape, as bad as it is, doesn't warrant the death penalty. Same goes for treason.

 

[ComradeBadger]

Never. I don't agree with the death penalty. A justice system should not be a means of vengence, but of reform & rehabilitation.

 

[gick]

Never. Whats the point in killing someone when you can lock them away for the rest of their lives making number plates or summat.

 

[Raziaar]

Wow Numbers... you think someone deserves the death penalty for spying, but not for the rape of adults?

Where are your priorities?

 

[15357]

Rape, as bad as it is, doesn't warrant the death penalty.

 

[Raziaar]

Rape, as bad as it is, doesn't warrant the death penalty.

It deserves it FAR more than dessertion, spying, or treason.

I do notice you put that rape of children and teens is worthy of it... but why not adults?

 

[15357]

...........


I don't know, actually. D:

 

[CptStern]

traitor/dessertion warrents the death penalty?


so he should immediately be put to death?


being a traitor? using Numberessess definition of traitor (although repiV's is far more accurate) these 3 should be given an appointment with a needle

 

[lePobz]

All crimes. The population needs sorting out.

 

[Asknoone]

What the hell? Treachery does NOT deserve the death penalty. What a stupid idea. Nor does theft, desertion or spying.

Rape in any form, and the murder of children does.

 

[repiV]

I voted for treason only. They are in the same class of destructive, international criminal as war criminals and human traffickers and so on. These being the only people that should get the death penalty in my book.

 

[Asknoone]

You'd put it ahead of rape? Come on. Were simply talking about people who have gone over to another cause because of what they believe in, or be it some other reason. They haven't left their destructive mark on someone for the rest of their life.

 

[Warbie]

Rape in any form

But what if they're wearing a really skimpy and provocative dress? Sometimes when a lady screams no! deep down she means yes.



No?





I'll get my coat.

Like the cause of harming the nation?
That's much worse than rape. Blair should be tried for treason, as should all the hate-preaching Islamic clerics that he loves to let run wild and free.

You have a fair point, I was simply addressing the manner in which you said it. "Treason only." Perhaps in some cases, the death penalty for treachery may be used, but limiting it to that is a pretty silly.

It's an entirely different breed of crime. Crime against the individual is nothing compared to crime against the nation. Blair in particular has a demonstrable track record of putting US interests (particularly, US corporate interests) above UK interests and trading our soldiers' lives for profit. He has sold us out to America.
On the home front, he puts the interests of immigrant groups above the interests of British citizens. Now, that's not treason in itself, but when those immigrant groups include people who wish to turn Britain into an Islamic state and would like nothing more than to see all the non-Muslims forced into dhimmitude, a case can be made.

 

[CptStern]

so in that sense Blair is a traitor and should be put to death ..he knew he was putting british citizens in harms way by invading iraq under false pretenses

 

[repiV]

so in that sense Blair is a traitor and should be put to death ..he willingly knew he was putting british citizens in harms way by creating a sham of a justification to invade iraq

Yes, that's what I was primarily referring to.

 

[CptStern]

ok so long as we're all in agreement that blair should be put to death ..I have a far more interesting fate for the bush regime :E

Send them running across the 38th parallel armed with nothing but pocket knives and banners saying "WE COME TO KILL COMMIES"?

 

[CptStern]

actually I was thinking of hog tieing/horse whipping them and air dropping them into the middle of fallujah into the waiting arms of maimed iraqis thirsting for texan blood

 

[repiV]

As long as he's wearing a t-shirt saying "kill me slowly for 72 extra virgins".

 

[CptStern]

lol! dont forget to hand out the pointy stick/2 x 4 with nail

 

[repiV]

Oh, that would most certainly please Allah.

 

[Solaris]

Treason is a political crime.
Political Prisoners should never be executed.

 

[repiV]

Serial killers are mentally ill.
The mentally ill should never be punished.

Nice logic.

 

[CptStern]

Oh, that would most certainly please Allah.

and buddha, jesus, vishnu, Ganesha, and last but not least Xenu

 

[repiV]

Yeah...I'm not sure how much time they'll have to enjoy being pleased though. Allah, like a transcendent and malevolant Jack Bauer, is coming to kill them. Their respective kingdoms can only survive so many exploding backpacks.

 

[CptStern]

I think the solution is clear: eradicate religion

 

[repiV]

Sounds good. Can we classify nationalism and communism as religions too?

 

[Solaris]

Serial killers are mentally ill.
The mentally ill should never be punished.

I agree with the above statement.
However, Treason is a political crime, Political prisoners should be treated as prisoners of war or just political prisoners depending on what they've done. Either way they should not be treated like a common criminal.

 

[repiV]

I was being entirely sarcastic and you really shouldn't be agreeing with the above statement.
Betraying the country transcends politics.

A country is not right by default. The UK has done some disgusting things all the way through it's history. I cannot think of anytime in the history of the UK where I can say at that time, it would be unethical to commit treason.

As long as you don't kill innocent civilians, treason is justified. Of course, it wouldn't get us anywhere without popular support. However you really should remember that the UK was founded on treason against the king. If it was not for people commiting treason we would not be democratic.

It wasn't treason, because it was in the interests of the country.

 

[Angry Lawyer]

All of the above, including "Never". I.e. I mean everyone should die.

Alternatively, just serial rape and mass-murder.

[Solaris]

It certainly was not.
It may have been in the interests of the people, but not the country. At the time the country was a monarchy with majour autocratic elements. It was not in the interests of the country to destroy the country.

As we can see already, treason can and was justified. Therefore for you to say treason deserves the death penalty and then to make exceptions to that renders your argument invalid.
