Two wrongs never make a right, so killing someone for murder is just a waste of time. And Saitek, as a christian shouldn't you be preaching "turn the other cheek" instead of the jewish "eye for an eye"?
I beg your pardon Woody?! I can't say I like your attitude much.
I'm not the slightest bit advocating the eye for eye precept.
We all agree on punishing criminals don't we? It is the form that is in discusscion here. I'm not going into religious stuff - it is't allowed and it isn't wanted - but you are completely misquoting that out of context to something wildy extreme. But I'll quit there.
I haven't time to answer the rest about it being a deterrant - but I was told by some American friends it was the reason that death penalty hasn't been abolished in the rest of the states, particularly one likes texas. It just couldn't be done for the crime factor.
Now please keep my thread nice - or it'll end up getting locked and Pete will frown at me. Keep cool!
