Your stance on the death penalty whether it be against or supporting the death penalty?
Do people deserve to die? Why/why not?
Is an eye for an eye just?
How would you feel if someone who was put to death was found innocent years later after his execution?
Thought provoking late night NTers enter.
I've been on the fence on this topic for years and after watching the Death Penalty episode of Penn&Teller's BS.
The only statements that rocked my opinion were these: "If you support the death penalty and only one single innocent person is killed and killing an innocent person is murder then you become murderers. So, you also deserve to be killed. This is the paradox of the death penalty and you cannot avoid this paradox of the death penalty."
And this one:
"It's blatantly hypocritical for the government on one hand to teach children and to urge a respect for the culture of life from the time we're little through life and yet the government intercedes against some violent convicted felons and kills these people in the name of the law."
