Oh I'm being deadly serious. Absolutely. I'm not cold - I'm simply of the mind that a Life for a Life is fair - call it all things being equal.

Seeing as this country doesn't allow the death penalty: I'll make do with those who do inflict such crimes on others, the fear of waking up every day - terrified of what's going to hit them next. If it was a family member: not good, but it wouldn't change my mind. I wouldn't like it but that's the way it goes: not that it would happen seeing that the Death Penalty is illegal here.

I have no problem with that at all and I sleep very well at night.

Where have I 'made out' that these things have not happened from the dawn of time? I didn't - stop making things up.

You're just one of those typical bull headed type people who don't really think about what they're saying and thinks their opinion is fact. A little nickname for your type is 'foamer'.

Anyway, we're going off topic.

I think I've had plenty of years behind me InOne to determine what I think and don't think before I say anything, had quite sometime behind me to help me come to my own decisions without even 'having to think about it' - and you can take it as 'red' - I mean what I say - no foaming at mouth required - just hard hitting.

Okay... back on topic whereby we agreed to disagree.

Yes because the correct punishment for killing someone is to umm.. kill someone right?

Clearly it's a matter of very divided opinion and I understand why some are so very much against the death penalty.

but in my book: I grudge every single penny of my hard earned salary - and the division in my tax contributions that keeps these people in prison, being fed, having a roof over their heads, being kept warm, clothed, educated, given access to a range of facilities that many people cannot afford - never needing to worry about paying bills, not having to worry if they have enough money to put food on the table, when there are decent hard working honest people who are out working long hard hours for minimum wages, doing an honest days work, with the worries of the world on their shoulders.

Like I say, I can understand why some feel it's barbaric, - but not in my book.

So the correct punishment is the life of riley at the tax payers' expense in HM hotel (sorry Prison), where the murderer often gets to serve only half their sentence? If the crime was truly appalling, for example child rape and murder, the killer can expect to be released with the full integrated support of all the relevant authorities, offered a new home and a new identity and every care taken that his or her human rights are not violated in any way. God forbid that we should be outraged that such scum are allowed these privileges having deprived another human being of their life.

Any more questions?

It might stop that particular person from killing again but it has been shown that the death penalty is not an effective deterrent. And anyway, who's to say that every murderer will kill again?

And it may be of economic benefit, but hey it would also be economically beneficial to kill old people, doesnt make it right
