Soldiers, police, and people defending themselves and others(aggressively or defensibly) Kill) someone you deserve to die and I do not care if your mentally ill. You have to be to murder someone.

I do not believe keeping someone in prison for more than ten years is worth it. At that point they are more than a drain on society. Death with a one week turn around. Yes some innocents will die but crime labs are much better now and fewer and fewer innocents are getting convicted. The argument about what if it was me or my family member isn't up to par. It would be awful but I still believe that it is better to do what is good for the many than good for the one.
As to the money. Once the prisons are cut down to a lower population you would have your income for the new born's.


My opnion on abortion has change with having kids of my own. Third and most of second trimester it's plain murder.



And Mike I now see where that comment in the Marrying thread came from. While I am anti-abortion to a point Amanda did a better job debating then you.
nothing is that black and white. DP with a one week turn around?! my uncle is in prison for murdering his daughter's meth addict boyfriend who was coming to his house to kill her, which he was verballly threatening as he walked towards my uncle. he pointed a gun at him and told him to leave his property or he would be shot. he got three feet from my uncle's door and my uncle blew his head off protecting his daughter from a crazed meth addict who had been up for over a week. it was not self defense because he was unarmed and he had not entered the house. he's serving his 7th year of 12 right now. does he deserve to die?


and about the 'better to do what is good for the many than good for the one.' maybe we should kill everyone who has aids, or any other contagious desease. that'd be good for the many, right? yeah, it may suck if you your loved ones have it, but at least no one else will get it.
