The death penalty is not a good form of punishment... therefore, I stand in favor of... Resolved: In the United States, the death penalty should not be a form of punishment. I will prove this with the following arguments. I. Life in prison is more of a punishment. Recently, the death penalty has become just as painful and pinch in the arm or a shot at the doctors.

The death penalty is moraly wrong and should be ileagal.
Tell me why you think that you have the right to take another persons life if they take another or otherwise why do we get to take the life with chemicals and drugs that we inject to their body. studys show that it could take hours to kill that person or seconds. now in my book and in most that is not humane to do i think that it is wrong to kill any one exept for serial killers they should suffer. and then i can already tell that you are one of those people who say that it is wrong to keep some...
The basic defense of bieng pro life abortion is a contradiction to the defense of the death penalty.
As a conservative and absolute no exception pro life believer, I feel it is contradiction to favor the death penalty. Most conservatives I know find it interesting that I am against the death penalty. Yet they argue time and time again the basic liberty of man is the right to be alive, in the topic of abortion. In logic, a contradiction consists of a logical incompatibility between two or more propositions. It occurs when the propositions, taken together, yield two conclusions which form the...
Resolved: A just society ought not to use the death penalty as a form of punishment.
If I can prove to you that use of the death penalty is just then you must vote negative. So justice is the superior value we are trying to achieve in this debate. In order to achieve justice, a society must have an efficient justice system. It must give each their due and nothing else. If a criminal who killed a number of individuals is not given the death penalty, but rather some other failed form of punishment, society then fails to practice justice because it failed to give that criminal what...

Those who oppose the Death Penalty should also appose abortion on demand.
I often hear people denunciate the practice of capital punishment because it's inhmane. Although I disagree, I understand the perspective. What puzzles me is the large percentage of those whom I discuss the issue are, in fact; pro-choice. Some become reticent when I include partial birth abortion, but still support the practice for reasons other than the mothers' life being endangered. I find that to be a conundrum. . ....
