The deathpunishment is actually a more humane way to let criminals get away from sufferin for there crime. They should be given a full life sentance and pay for what theyve done instead of getting the easy way out. They should be made to live with what theyve done and if theyre murderer then they should make up for the life they destroyed by living it for them and not coward away in death =)

cant people be forgiven wats up with killing with another cant we al gett along why dont u just forgive them
By: gerardo on March 10, 2008 at 8:02 am
FORGIVEN?! why should THEY be forgiven?! if they take the life of your child, would you just pat them on the back and say “oh its ok, i forgive you”?
i say what we should do is an eye for an eye, they should be killed the same way they murdered someone so they feel what pain they put someone through
By: haha on April 29, 2008 at 7:01 am
God said, forgive and you shall be forgiven. A sin is a sin they do not have greater or lesser meaning with God.
One can be forgiven but that doesn’t mean that they don’t pay for their crime.
By: Lavonna on June 17, 2008 at 11:12 am
ha ha,
Amen on that! Someone kills my baby there is no forgiveness, screw that. Anyone agreeing to that bullshit obviously HAS NOT had a loved one violently taken from them for no reason. They should all die the way their innocent victims do.
ha ha, great post. I totally agree.

1 - I will not tolerate hate filled speech or derogatory remarks about a victim. I will remove comments that go against this. I will not remove comments just because they do not match my beliefs, in fact, I welcome them! However, that being said, I will remove those that I find offensive, argumentative just for the sake of starting an argument that does not add to the post, hate-filled speech, etc.
2 - Please remember to not use all CAPS or capitalize the beginning letter of every single word or every other word, or use IM/text abbreviations (except like LOL). Please have respect for other readers and type words out. Not everyone is into that and it is inappropriate here.
