You havent proven me wrong homo. I think that having a 10 year buffer would be way better than having none at all. Dont you agree? Or do you think we should execute them straight away? Why dont you believe in the death penalty homo?
so you're ok with settling for good enough when someone's life is involved? i don't believe in the death penalty for two reasons:
1) it is a punishment that cannot be undone if it turns out the guy was innocent. there have been cases of rape victims identifying the wrong person, only to have them released years later. so i'm just glad that some of those cases have occurred in countries where rape is not a capital offense
2) the whole idea of capital punishment is based on the outdated concept of 'an eye for an eye'. you're saying that if someone commits murder, then we should kill them. do you also believe that if someone commits assault, then we should beat them up? or if they commits rape then we should rape them? because if you're going to use the eye for an eye concept for one type of crime, the why not all of them? our legal system has moved on past this form of punishment
