[munchkinvoice]Ding Dong! Saddam is dead! Saddam is dead! Ding Dong! The evil ruler is deeeaaad![/munchkinvoice]
Sorry.

On Topic, I am for the Death Penalty. If someone kills somebody else, they deserve to die in the same manner.
I wish the Saddam hanging was televised, he deserved a more brutal death.

If you live in Texas, you might have a different persepective because in our state, we enforce the death penalty :wink:

You kill, we kill you.
Haha, yay for Texas (I live here too) death penalty yay!

I'm with Locke and Scotty on this one guys. Especially the first sentence. More murder doesn't solve murder.

I'm really iffy with the death penalty.
I am going to agree with locke/scotty on a note, but I would say that he deserved it. Life in jail would be nothing for this man because he knew he did wrong, so he would probably just sit in prison thinking of ways to get out, or how he could kill the guards without being noticed. Also go ahead execute bush, he's useless and deserves life in prison.

Killing the murderer stops murder unless the murderer has extremely good relationships with other murderers. (Meaning: vengeance by a friend) or (followers)

One person murdering a murderer is just going to send the murderer's murdering friends to murder you.

We don't have a death penalty up here. :P

true

Also, I do agree with Locke and Scotty. I am more for their opinion then of killing some1 for killing others. That would make us just like him.

I am assuming that America had nothing to do with the the killing? What if the masked people were Americans? jk pepes

Funny how in Iraq when you get the death penalty you die really soon... unlike here where you sit your ass in jail for 30 years while tax payers pay for your fucking meals....

Let's have a little hypothetical situation play out here...

Dictator: "Oh, so you mean I can kill hundreds of innocent people, in despicable ways, just because they wouldn't do what I told them, and I'll only get slapped on the hands for it, sent to some prison which is about as comfortable as my mansion now, and make millions of tax payers pay for my little extended get-away? Awesome! Let's do it."

Or...

Dictator: "Oh, so you mean I can kill hundreds of innocent people in despicable ways, just because they wouldn't do what I told them, and I'll be held responsible for my actions and eventually be killed. Hmmm... I may not want to do that."

People, look, the man was a barbaric person, who thrived off the suffering and death of hundreds of people.
Once you get to a point like that, it's hardly rational to call that individual a human being.

I am a somewhat religious person, and I do not want all Islamic people to perish in such a way. Nor am I a brutal sociopath, but there comes a time in which "turning the other cheek," is not enough.
Foots have to be put down, lines have to be drawn, and shit has to be cleaned off the fan. (lol? ... >_>)

Saying that he should have died in a more brutal way is the (and I love the way Yomama [Locke] put it) animalistic behavior we're trying to stop!
He was an evil man, who caused much pain and suffering in many people's lives. He should (and was) be held responsible for his crimes.

Why is everyone talking about him like any other murderer, he commited genocide. There's a difference, amongst various hundreds of other crimes.

By that logic, Bush would have to be executed as well.

Your exactly right. No one has the right to kill anyone. Just because someone killed someone doesn't give you the right to kill them. Yes, I'm one of the people who want to abolish the death penalty(considering most of the people even on death row just couldn't afford a decent lawyer and many as a result, innocent people get killed). I think a worse punishment is life in prison. The person then has to spend the rest of thier lives thinking about what they've done. Also I'm honestly ashamed of this community. Most of you have turned into your animalistic selfs with your lust for blood. Do you really need to see a man hung? Do you really want to see his last moments? And you all talk about how he should have had a more horrible death. What kind of people are you?
I agree with every word you said. Also, who said a prison was comfortable? I find that hard to believe. I mean, it's punishment, not a reward. I, for one, if I had broken the law that seriously (not saying that I have), would prefer getting killed instead of spending the rest of my life in prison, because it's less painful in the long run. I think execution is somewhat merciful, and Saddam deserved no mercy at all.

I'm not arguing against what he's done iGeo, and I'm not saying no crime should go unpunished, it always just sounds wierd: you killed someone so we're just allowed to kill you know.
As for the crimes, I know what he was convicted for, however I don't know the full extent of everything he's done.

But, thankfully for you and me, I must go now, so I can't have a large post to sound like I know what I'm talking about :P

Also, I was just watching the news, apparently there have been over 50 deaths in Iraq since his execution, and the violence in Iraq has risen since his capture :|

Lol.

And Scotty is right. What would happen if we just LET people commit crimes? There Needs to be a punishment to teach them a lesson, but if they are too evil to teach a lesson, you don't let them out of your watch or you get rid of them.

However I feel this topic is going no where but fighting, and may result in a lock.
