Opinions on Death Penalty? - Page 9

Twilight Cinder · #81 05-06-2011, 07:56 AM

I think that although justice is not always easy to define and never really black an white and full of moral and ethical dilemmas I don't agree with the death penalty. Killing someone wont make what they have done right. I do not believe killing any person has a rightful place in justice. Who are we to decide who lives and who dies? One person's idea of justice will never be the same as the next's.

Well, the criminal believes otherwise. Its because of people being too soft that criminals don't learn. I hear it all the time, people treat jail and prison like its no big deal. Iron fist of the law, my ass! Put me in charge of that stuff and you'll see a look in my eyes like Kenpachi without his eyepatch, as an omen for what's to come...

I believe in the death penalty. I think that ppl should be given a taste of their own medicine, murderers should in turn be "murdered"
Although, only first degree murder, not if it was an accident like a hit and run or something like that.
Robbers? Should have everything taken from them. But then again, some ppl might steal food because they can't afford it. I think the intentions and reasons for crimes should be taken into consideration. Also, there should be a limit on appeals. And it could work as a deterrent in some places, although, it probably wouldn't work in my country, as the police force is lacking. so in short, I think there are many things to consider before ending someone's life.

I voted yes. There are some criminals who's crimes are extremely heinous and allowing them to remain in our society be it within the prison population is a burden on our resources and a danger even to the inmates. I also like it as a deterrent. Consider that perhaps in your state, if the person thinks about the crime they might commit (like say walk into a school to shoot kids) and he knows that he'll get the chair. He might think twice. If he doesn't think twice about it, there isn't really any deterrent for him. Except maybe a bullet to the head before he commits the crime. (We need that Pre-Crimes unit from Minority Report :P)

Well the death penalty would save our countries a lot of money.
It is afterall the tax payers money that is used to feed the prisoners, keep them alive and stuff.
So sure, feel free to use it when it is absolutely necessary.

On a less serious note "Death penalty" is the name of Vincent Valentines ultima weapon. Banning an ultima weapon isn't cool!

Humans have been taking humans lives into their own hands since the beginning.

With the Fallacies our legal system I cant say I'm for it a 100%
there are plenty of scum who don't deserve to remain among the planets decent population.

Whether its up to humans to hold the weight of anothers life in our hands. Is the debate here.

my view :
So if you see that a permanent removal of someones life is the only way to defend your life, or the life of someone innocent. I feel this is the only reason to take anothers life. Only as a last resort. Not as a consequence. Or cost effective punishment.
Thats the difference between survival and becoming a murderer yourself. Because if you condone it , vote for it. The blood is on your hands too. Just you probably won't feel bad about it.

The air has an eery chill to it; almost making me not want to breathe. The landscape is an open flat area surrounded by narrow,and jagged looking mountains with no way to climb or even see over. In the center is a massive throne where I can usually find Akuma no Tatchi sitting. Sealed Spoiler: Standard Katana Length- 42in. The wrapping is maroon with 2 tassels hanging on the top side of the handle. The tsuba (Pommel) is a made of silver and an odd black colored metal. On top of the black metal is a yellow jewel. The guard is rectangular and has two images of a demon's right hand. The sheath is also a maroon color and has a steel cap on the end that is angled and sharpened. The blade is made out of the same black metal used in the pommel. Shikai Spoiler: Handle length-12in. Blade length- 42in. The wrapping on the handle is maroon, and has the same tassels hanging on the handle. The tsuba is longer and has more of the black metal spread out with silver inlays around it and has a large round yellow jewel on top. The hand guard is still rectangular but has 2 points that stick out on the top and bottom sides. The points have somewhat of an edge. The blade resembles the blade of a scythe and is made out of the black metal. Attacks Spoiler: Namakemono no Tatchi-Touch of Sloth the Touch of Sloth concentrates reiryoku to the very tip of the blade. When the blade connects with an opponent's arm or leg, that part begins to move a lot slower than it normally would. If my Zan touches an opponent in the torso area the Touch of Sloth will randomly attack a limb of it's choosing. The effects of the Touch of Sloth last for around 15 minutes. After striking a limb more than once, the time which it lasts will decrease by 1 minute after every strike to the opponent. Ikari no Tatchi-Touch of Wrath The Touch of Wrath concentrates reiryoku along the edge of the blade and when it connects with target, it releases the energy as a small explosion that damages the limb it made contact with. The explosion is enough to knock the opponent off balance. It will not destroy the limb, but will do damage. It could be compared to the damage done by a Bala. *The blade has to connect with the target or the attack won't work* Yokubo No Tatchi-Touch of Lust The Touch of Lust creates an Heated energy shield that will hold off the force of the full force of an energy based attack from a shikai level zanpakuto. It will block Ice based attacks but is useless against fire based attacks both at shikai level. Bankai Aku mao no Tatchi- The Devil King's Touch When my Bankai is activated a faint laugh can be heard coming from my Zan as I let go of the handle. It begins to levitate then with a burst reiatsu turning the sky red. Following the instant this happens, all the reiatsu to burst out, all the reiryoku gets sucked back into the Zan changing its shape into the Aku mao no Tatchi Spoiler: Handle Length-52in. Blade Length-42in. The handle becomes longer becomes a solid maroon color. The brace that holds the blade to the handle still retains it's rectangular shape. A small diamond shaped spear point appears on the top of the handle. It still has the same type of pommel that was on the Shikai form. The blade is just moved to the top where it takes the form of a scythe. A smaller blade begins to stick out on the opposite side of the main blade. the smaller blade can only be used for basic attacks. Attacks Spoiler: Namakemono no O Tatchi-King's Touch of Sloth The King's Touch of Sloth concentrates reiryoku to the point of the blade. When connected with an opponent, the attack is similar to the shikai version but it will attack their entire body causing them to move slower than normal. The effects last over a time period of 10 minutes. This attack can be used multiple times. Ikari no O Tatchi-King's Touch of Wrath The King's touch of Wrath concentrates the energy along the edge of blade and when it connects with a target, it sends out energy in a explosion causing massive damage to the target that received the blow. can also use the normal Touch of Wrath.
