Death Penalty
Is it right for someone who has committed a murder to be sentenced to death? I believe no it is not right. A few reasons why. 1) Many people convicted of murder want to die. Timothy McVeigh said "I knew I wanted this before it happened. I knew my objective was state-assisted suicide and when it happens, it's in your face. You just did something you're trying to say should be illegal for medical personnel." Michel, Lou and Herbeck, Dan. American Terrorist. p. 358. McVeigh knew he was going to...

The US should adopt a revised death penalty system
The "death penalty" is the execution of a criminal convicted according to the laws of a state or the federal government, i.e. death penalty - putting a condemned person to death http://www.thefreedictionary.com/death+penalty In the system proposed, for the death penalty to be imposed, a jury must first find the accused guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Fallacous Arguments II:Stupidity should be a crime, and violators should be given the death penalty.

The Death Penalty is Acceptable
The death penalty is an acceptable punishment for certain crimes. Why? 1) It saves money. If someone gets a life sentence, or some of those crazy sentences that say you are getting 150 years, what's the point of spending all of that money to house and feed these criminals. (let me remind you that those are tax dollars feeding those life imprisoned murderers.) If we just killed them now we save years of food bills and millions of tax dollars. 2) It sets an example for others. If you are t...
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...
A just society ought not use the death penalty as a form of punishment.
I negate the resolution, resolved: A just society ought not use the death penalty as a form of punishment. I offer the following definitions: A just society is a group of individuals living in a community that are guided by truth, reason, justice, and fairness. The death penalty is a death sentence used as punishment. A punishment is defined as an unpleasant action in return for a wronged action. The resolution asks whether or not this punishment ought to be used by a just society, we can concl...
