Do you believe that Rapists, Killers, Serial Killers, and Pedophiles should get the death sentence if found guilty in the court of law?
I really believe in the eye for an eye mentality. If you kill someone,you deserve to be killed yourself. If you rape someone, you deserve to die,since I find death more humane than rape. Do you believe that killers should get the death penalty instead of doing Life w/o Parole? State your opinions here

No. o_o
I mean, if they're like a Super Sayin 4 or something, and can't be contained/corrected, that's different, but I'm pretty sure most people can be corrected.
If you want to make them suffer, kill their loved ones. XP Death is suppose to be quick and easy.

Yes.
Canadian Law is too Light.
Life sentence is 25 years ._.
EDIT AT ABOVE:
We need Death sentence in Canada, or Jails are filled up too much.
Kill the Serial Killers and Rapists so we have lots of more room for Drug Dealers XD

I support death sentence. But it the decision to send someone to death takes years. Trials, and stuff, you know, and the whole thing is really complex, which is why we don't have many a year in the United States.

"An eye for an eye" is really a bad policy. All it does is double the amount of damage done. It doesn't solve anything, it just shows that we are every bit as inhumane as the people we are condemning. The death penalty should be reserved for extreme circumstances like for mass murderers and serial rapists. There are many people who don't deserve death just because they made bad choices.
I don't know about other countries, but the American legal system makes it way too complicated to sentence someone to death, and the amount of appealing you can do and the length of time the average person sits on death row is ridiculous. I just don't support the death penalty as it is.
Also, there is nothing wrong with being a pedophile. Yes, most of us find it gross, but as long as they are not actually abusing children it's okay.

So would you find it okay if a pedophile would creep around the bushes, and take pictures of your little kids, and then do things with the photos...? I don't think you would just say "Oh, its fine as long as you don't touch my kids you can do it" or else you really aren't getting the point.
Honestly, I find it a waste of my tax money to support the bad seeds of the society that kill others. My ,and many of your tax money feed the Prisoners, which is a waste in my opinion, because people that hurt others on purpose, and harm or even kill them don't deserve to eat. Rather have the taxes go somewhere else than Prisons

I agree to an extent.
Some people just don't fucking learn, no amount of jail time will change them.
Just killing them will solve the problem without anyone else getting hurt.

Rapists and Pedophiles- Deserve life in jail. They didn't kill anyone, and usually the prisoners don't like rapists and pedophiles. They either get beat up a lot, killed or raped up the butt themselves. Unless they killed the victim they raped, they deserve to die.
Killers and Serial Killers- Deserve to die, if it wasn't an accident. Theres people who kill their friends in car crashes on accident, and they still live.

A Restraining Order should solve it.

They don't deserve to eat? So someone has a bad shot and kills a store clerk while he's robbing the place instead of hitting his arm/scaring him by hitting the shelves, and they no longer deserve food? Please elaborate as to how you arrived at that.

I lol@ the fact that pedophiles are now considered to be in the same level as murderers.
Only a few decades ago young teenage girls and boys were allowed to publically be with older gentlemen.

I mean that if someone is simply sexually attracted to young children, and does not express that attraction in any other form than fantasies, then that is their issue and they should not be punished for it.

You realize it costs more to have someone killed than to sentence them to life, don't you? Prisoners often do more than sit in a cell all day, they can be given work, and some can even be rehabilitated and let back in society as a productive member. You shouldn't be so quick to deny people a chance.
America spends a hell of a lot more on national defense than prisons. If it's your tax money you're concerned about, you're talking about the wrong issue.

Death sentence isn't a punishment, as it is not clear what lies beyond the grave. Moreover, one who has done something bad enough to deserve such a sentence would probably be less than apathetic to it. However, if it's necessary to save money I suppose it can't be helped, though as said before they could be put to some sort of inner-prison work as well.

Scarring a child, moreover anyone for life is something I consider worse than ending a life. Maybe it wasn't noticed before, but it's become much more prevalent now. Or something.

The only scaring being done is by the media.
Relations between adults and teenagers has been going on since the beginning of time and so far humanity has survived.
Not all pedophiles force themselves on younger people, most didn't until it became illegal.
What would you think would happen if heterosexual relationships were suddenly considered illegal? Were you are considered immoral, sick, a monster for thinking about the opposite sex.
People being with teenagers is common in every culture, and in the animal kingdom.
Of course sleeping with a 5 year old and sleeping with a post pubescent person are two different things.

I'm pretty sure "humanity" would have survived with quite a few flaws as well. We didn't have to get rid of slavery either.

In every culture might be a defense, but "in the animal kingdom" certainly isn't. Just because animals do it, doesn't mean it's right for us.

This is irrelevant. It would be relevant in a discussion about banning homosexual marriages, but you are comparing apples to oranges. Age is different than gender: gender has nothing to do with the state of mental development that you are in, while age clearly does.

Some people that argue against homosexuality argue against it because its not natural. Yet when it is revealed we are not the only species with homosexuals, they were pwned. Another argument is that pedophilia is wrong because its not natural. pineappleing infants might not be natural, but having sex with a people that are above 13 is something else. In some countries its legal to have sex with people above the age of 14.
The fact is that America was founded by conservative religious groups and they have affected our politics, and America has affected other countries politics.
Gender does involve different mentalities, since Men and Women think differently.
I have been having sexual relations since I was 14, it didn't mess me up. I just felt guilty that it had to be kept under secret due to legal pressures.
What I am supporting is pedastry, but that is usually grouped together with pedophilia, which is the rape of pre-pubescent children.

I'm stuck inbetween. I believe that death sentances are reasonable for extreme murderers and psycopaths, but giving the death penalty to anyone who does wrong is just that, wrong. I don't see what any Human society can do to punish criminal behavior. we need a cost efficient, easy way to settle the Prisoners into integrated society, or get rid of them.
Prison systems seem ridiculous since people can get 3824762374 years in prison and NOT have life sentances... I will support the death penalty as of now, but it seems everything we use to execute people is always Cruel and Unusual punishment. So no more killing mass murderers or people who deserve their sentances. Just more over populated prisons taking billions of dollars away from other systems.

I'm all for it in extreme cases. For example, a tragic event happened in my town recently where a guy, who had JUST gotten out of prison, invaded a woman's home, shot her and killed her friend (who was visiting). See, I'm all for rehabilitation, but if it's obvious that prison's not doing any good and this person's only going to be a nuisance to society, then get rid of him. I'd rather not pay taxes for someone who's always going to be F'ed up like this.
