Should there be a Death Penalty??
Greetings everyone, I want to discuss the issue of the death penalty. The death penalty is a favorite debate topic and this debate could go either way depending on the arguments. I have chosen to debate against it because I don't believe in taking away lives no matter what the reason. In a nutshell I believe the following: The death penalty is a violation of the most basic human right, the right to live which is also one of the basic principles on which the United States of America was found...
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...
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...

Resolved: In the United States, the death penalty should not be a form of punishment.
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. My ingrown toenail hurts just as much as the death penalty does. All that happens, is that they fall asleep and then they a...
Being in favor of abortion and against the death penalty is hypocritical and typically liberal.
Being in favor of abortion and against the death penalty, is not only morally wrong, it doesn't make sense. Kill babies that haven't had a chance at life save the adults that had a chance at life and chose to use it to murder people. I went through profiles of people I disagreed 50% or more on and most of them were liberal, in favor of abortion and against the death penalty. I personally think that is sick. How can you want to snuff out an innocent life, yet want to let an evil person, tha...
The Death Penalty
Should a man be killed for his actions? I, for one, think so. If you believe in the bible, as many of us do, you will know it specifically states "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'" Mathhew 5:38. This basically means "if you kill someone, you yourself should be killed". Now, going back to the bible, it also says "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away." Mathhew 5:30. This basically means "If you have harmed another, repent...
the death penalty is justified.
what is our society coming to if we have to kill people who killed other people to prove that murder is wrong? that is total hypocrisy. and what is it actually solving? nothing and that is because killing someone isnt going to bring back the person who was murdered....
The death penalty should be offered as a form of punishment.
The death penalty is currently offered as a form of punishment in 38 states. There are many reasons why it should not be, however. First, twelve people should not be allowed to judge whether or not someone has the right to live. We cannot place value on one person's life over another's. Someone who has been convicted of murder is still a human being. They still have a mother and a father and they still have the right to live. Killing the person convicted of a murder is not going to offer clo...
