Death Penalty
Have you ever wonder if the death penalty is over rated, I have thought about it and I personally with millions of people out there think the death penalty is over rated and should be banned everywhere in the U.S. Not only is it over rated and barbaric but innocents were even excuted only to find out later down the line that they were really innocent. Taking chances our government does to put a murderer to death not only that the person could be innocent not only that some crimes aren't even wor...
The death penalty should be illegal.
The death penalty is supposed to be a punishment for someone that does something very extreme, like a murder or a rape. So for someone who kills, should they be killed? Do we live in an eye for an eye lifestyle? Do people with assault cases get beat up as punishment? Or people that steal, do they get robbed as punishment? NO! There is never a reason to take someones' life. Nobody can be the judge of who gets to live or who does not get to live....
The death penalty should be abolished.
I originally set up this debate to challenge track8493, simply because of the unfortunate result of his attempt to set up this debate already - a misunderstanding of the resolution leading to two people agreeing with each other. However, he hasn't been online for the last week, meaning that the challenge expired. I therefore open this debate up to everyone. I affirm the resolution that the death penalty should be abolished. By "death penalty", I am referring to the punishment enacted by vario...

Death Penalty
First of all I would like to make my "map points" as to why I am oppose to the death penalty. 1. The cost One my argue by logic that the cost is much higher for life imprisonment because you would have to feed him everyday etc.... for the rest of their lives right. # A 2003 legislative audit in Kansas found that the estimated cost of a death penalty case was 70% more than the cost of a comparable non-death penalty case. Death penalty case costs were counted through to execution (median co...
Should the Death Penalty be enforced?
The death penalty should be enforced because when someone decides to do to someone else, it should be done to them as well. It says in, Genesis 9:6 "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image." and Exodus 21:12 ESV "Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death." Murder is wrong, and people should enforce the death penalty....
Should the Death Penalty be Reinstated in the United States
Although the death penalty has been banned in most states, I believe that there are boundaries to a crime, and if crossed, there should be a more severe punishment then life in prison. Act all sweet and nice and they'll have time off for good behavior. If you live long enough, you'll walk among us again. I don't want that. Do you?...

The Death Penalty
As a head note, this is my first debate, so please forgive me if I do something wrong. The death penalty, in my opinion, is wrong, and my reasoning for this is simple; it is just not logical. For example, it is very expensive. Although keeping people in jail for life sentances is also expensive, killing people costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. The amnesty international site shows that a legislative audit shows that the median cost of killing somebody is much more expensive than giving t...
