2.Not that stupid argument of we are no better than the killer or whatever criminal it is if we kill them crap,we dont hurt innocent people where as they do.

3.Life doesnt mean life in the uk,murderers are lucky if they get sentenced to 10 years,and if by some miracle that they do get sentenced higher than usual,they then have nintendo wiis,playstations and xbox and xbox 360,plus they have more security guards protecting them than the average criminal,so yeah they suffer worse than death.

You're right in a sense, they had no place to judge whether or not another person should remain living but do you really think the suitable punishment for their crime is death? I think thats like giving them a get out of jail free card.

Jail is worse then death anyways. You can't leave whenever you like, if you're jailed for life you will never have your freedom back again, you won't be able to see family members freely like you may have once upon a time. To be honest, I think the psychological ramifications of life in prison far outweigh the death penalty.

Also if I was running the prisons then I would make sure that murders etc wouldn't be allowed out if they are given life.

I believe the death penalty is amoral, wrong and backwards. :/
