ORIGINAL: LaTigresse However I do feel there are people that are so destroyed inside they can never be fixed and should never be free to hurt others. Many serial killers fit that category. Those are the people that cause me to feel the death penalty is not necessarily a bad thing. Exactly. I've never advocated that people like Hitler should be allowed to go on their merry way just because they aren't "bad". Society has a responsibility to protect all its citizens, and so some just have to put somewhere where they can cause no harm to others. As for the death penalty...Oh...dare I even address this topic... (Looks around to see if Level is hiding, waiting to pounce)... I believe in the death penalty as a way to end the suffering of people who are too mentally ill to live a healthy life, and constitute a threat to others. In my advanced years, I've come to think it's a kinder fate than being locked up forever, and tormented in prison. Dang Madame Tigresse, you've just tempted out a political statement from me...something I always try to avoid! (You're just too darn seductive for your own good!) ::Offers her one of the last of the uber-dark-chocolate-covered raspberries.:: I do not believe in the death penalty, but I do understand how others can support it. If someone killed a loved one of mine, it is quite possible that I would kill them myself. This may be hypocritical [X(], but it is what it is. We really differ on this, cin, lol. The last thing I'd do is execute someone to put them out of their suffering. Mr. Mean
