Bring back the death penalty!

I think I'd rather die than having to spend the rest of my life in jail. I think life-long sentence in a strict prison is worse than death.

There should be MUCH more focus on rehabilitian and preventing crime from happening in the first place. People come here from their snobby, well to do educated backgrounds and judge people who have commited crime because its all theyve seen in life. How about lowering unemployment, increasing education, mental wellbeing, empowerment etc

I also think your reasoning behind the death penalty has little to do with love for your fellow man rather it is hate.

Interestingly, UK prisons don't meet Human Rights standards.

For short sentences, prisoners have almost nothing in their prisons - none of this Playstations you all seem so fixated on.

Rape and serious violence is commonplace in many prisons. Chance of getting education and rehab: limited.

Prisoners do have to work in the prison.

Yes, prison must be lovely. Can't think why i wouldn't want to go somewhere and live in constant fear of being raped or attacked, having my few possessions stolen, dull, mind-numbing work and the possibility of never coming out again...

Also, Travis, i was right. You don't know what UK murder is. It is causing the death of another human being with the intention to kill OR to cause GBH. Hence why many murders are accidental.

(Also, judges can be bribed. It's not exactly an out-there concept. I suggest you contact the organisation known as "Repreive" who look into death penalty cases)

You're also right, on one point, that murder is with the intention to kill somebody. However you do not go out to murder someone and cause grievous bodily harm, clearly it's not murder and would be attempted murder, as you tried to kill someone, intentially.

o m f g what was that.

yeah, fair point.
Think we need some of those in this country, tbh.

It is just as expensive, if not more expensive than jail-time

The state shouldn't ever be allowed to decide wherever a person lives or dies

Well if the person is a murderer then I don't think they should be allowed to decide whether the victim should have lived or died.

I completely disagree. Sorry, but you know right from wrong. You cannot blame being poor for committing crimes."Oh boo hoo I didn't have a decent upbringing, I'm going to go shoot people now!" No, just no. Of course I'll judge someone who's broken the law. Its wrong, end of. Also, a lot of criminals are vile, chavvy, disgusting scum, who don't deserve sympathy.

lol I was going to quote one of your posts. You made lots of posts in the thread about british people having to learn class and british history and talked about how you got bullied for being wealthy or something. To be honest you seem extremely snobby and judgemental.

Its not a case of I didnt have a decent upbringing. Do you have any idea how it is to be dirt poor, live in an abusive household and family where all you see is violence, all your family are violent, all your friends commit crimes, you see crime as a way to break out of the struggles. Nothing to do with Im going to shoot someone now.

Place them in a different environment you never know they could possibly end up a little different.

No, I don't know what that's like. Surely though they'd see how everyone else lives and realise that they can either become like their family, or make something of themselves? Crime will only make it worse. And once they commit a crime, that's it, they've lost their humanity. If they truly felt so sad by seeing all the violence, why would they inflict it on another human being? Oh yeah that's right, because they're scum.
