beheading versus long term jail

who has it right? what are justifications for capital punishment? is it defendable? can you write a clear argument for or against either solution?


p.s. capital punishment is when you kill someone for their crimes....

i rekon we should have death penalty but the death should be quick (like over in 1 second) because killing people.... slowly...... is very inhumane. Some death ideas are:
shooting (shoot at the head)
blowing up with explosives (quick and painless)

i rekon hanging and headchopping should be banned because
hanging- is a very slow death
head chopping- sometimes takes more than one time to kill and that would hurt! u can also miss

Hi!
Ernesty, hanging doesn't HAVE to be slow, it could depend on the weight of the person and how slippery (I mean it can slide through the gap) the rope is. Perhaps people should 'put them down' painlessly with an injection if they have to be killed. But think about it, condemning someone to desath is quite harsh, so maybe it should only be done for the most serious of cases.
Maybe they should be hung, drawn, quartered, chopped up into little bits and then donated to the Humane Alternative (the bones can go to a dog place.) ;-).
Do you realise that I am being byist?

I think it really depends on the crime and you NEED to proove that they are guilty. Apart from that I think jail should be harder on them and cheaper so that it wouldn't be so much of a problem.

I honestly don't know which I really believe. I probably sway towards the first.

i think that if people did minor crimes, they should go to jail and do community work and should have a hour with their family like once a month, with bodyguard. Because if someone did a minor crime (like threatning to kill someone) then should still have a chance to live, shouldn't they?

Now about the beheading, if you kill someone, they should be killed and only people trained to kill wrong doers should be killing with a injection, wich they use on animals to put them down. Anyway, why would someone want to kill another person? Before they get killed there should be proof that they are guilty so they don't make a mistake.
