It's the big one! Time and time again we hear the same old "and eye for an eye" stories, especially when going on about Capital Punishment. Some people think it's a good thing as is removes murderers, rapists, and paedophiles from society and doesn't waste tax-payer's money feeding them. Also, arguments for "against" include being in prison is worse than death. What if they aren't guilty, and is killing one person after they've killed someone else justifiable.

Please, share your arguments and thoughts! :)

Well, I'm for that idea - but on one condition. They have to have committed a very very serious crime (Brutal rape, Brutal murder). If they haven't done anything like that - then no .... people shouldn't be killed. I say this because, they are serious serious crimes - and anyone who commits them probably doesn't deserve to live because they're malicious ... people who have no sense of right and wrong ... that just want to go out and wreck people's lives. Simple as that really.

I'll think of some other arguements later... :D
