Joshua Pettigrew	Why when we've got a middle of the ocean, Abandonment is easier than killing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Darth Maximus Macleoud	Yes, we should also have: Hangings, firing squads, guillotines, public stockade, Iron maidens, public mid-evil displays of executions etc. but each should fit the crime. We should also have public defense Lawyers that care about their defendants and be executed with them if the defendant loses his case, and have them pay at least 1/2 of the fines & court fees out of his own pocket for lesser crimes/misdemeanors.

Punish those who do not respect a just society,If you kill someone,Zap the no good bum off the face of the earth,period Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

eyesofdeepblue2000	this question is good... if you have a person that is like a natural born killer in the movies then yes. ted bundy deserved it the guy in line in nashville to go next probably deserves it. i have to think it really doesnt matter if its the chair, the needle, the gun etc. once dead the job is over. since the new testiment we are taught to forgive and love all. pray for the sinners. financially our prisons are over run with killers costing us money to house them. look at helter skelter, he is a natural born killer type and he's still living. he murdered a pregnant lady and the baby along with his little crazy girl friends. he would have been fired up in Tenn a long time ago, at least you'd think he would have Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BRO	I can't answer, Iam still laughing at the answer Helmut Cheez gave...LOL LOL LOL Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jazzoboist	Yes! but not for use. I never did agree with the death sentence. The chair has killed inocent people in the past. the chair should stay around to scare people not to be used. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

citizen ex	No we should not it is against the US Constitution, cruel and unusual punishment! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cantankerous	THere is something to be said for retribution ( revenge if you will) but it isn't the state's place to kill people. Let the family of the victims do the deed, or let them hire someone. Kill my family? let me kill you. But allowing the state that power is very very very dangerous. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

helmut cheez	My mum bought one and she hardly ever uses it. Its OK for relaxing in for a while but - they're not worth the money - you might as well use a footstool to rest your feet on. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

anakissm	yes lets kill people for killing people great idea. if you cant sense the sarcasm i do not think it is right to kill people no matter what. however if someone is faced with a life long sentence ( i mean all there life not 15 years) then i do think they should have the option to either live it and die naturally or assisted suicide. and as for the "there killers they diserve to die" well what if everyone is wrong and there not killers eventually if you have the death penalty long enough someone inocent will die no matter how just the courts may or may not be Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

DAVID B	We should have several!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

# one	No it has been proved that many people in jail are not guilty of the crime they are in for. The news frequently shows someone that spent as many as 20 years in jail and then it was found out that they were innocent. For this reason I do not believe in the death penalty. I do believe there should not be blue color and white color prisons. A criminal is a criminal and it should not matter if a high-class person stole from the company or if someone shot someone, they should go to the same prison. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Randomness	well we should find a way that is more effective an dless enrgy wasting. But if your asking this question in a way that we should ghave the death penalty or not...I (in my mind and political views[centrist tilted almost a lot towards conservatism]) think we should have the death penalty in serious cases, yes. ~Legend2300~ Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

roadrunner	Yes yes yes - if not the chair some other form. But with all the Human rights that are 'in' for these prisoners, you have more chance of winning the lottery than that ever happening. Sad, very sad but true. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

onelonevoice	Capital punishment should be a painless death and the immediate donating of the condemned prisoners organs to people who need them. In this way a convicted criminal can at least begin to make amends for the wrong that they have commited against society. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

button mushroom	Electric chair, lethal injections, the gallows, who cares as long as it permamently disposes of murderers, rapists and child molesters. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

r u randy?	No.. I don't think we need the electric chair or any other form of capital punishment... I'm inclined to think that life without the possibility of parole is quite satisfactory;since, before all, it's the removal of the individuals ability to produce additional harm to society that is foremost and of the greatest benefit to our population on the whole; punishment is merely a back seat passenger. I do have some thoughts on our "keeping methods of lifers," however, and because they're rather simple, I'll lay them out for your perusal. Its necessary, I believe to exhaust every last possibility that an error has been made in judgment when it comes down to finally deciding that a life should be wasted - even one innocent victim at the hands of our judicial system would be one too many and I would be very much in favor of, let's say, a ten year period of appeals before any final condemnation took place ... but then, a devils island-like picture draws up in my mind as the ideal solution to prolonged incarceration. I advocate for a world-chosen, island, a wasteland dump site - just give them to nature and to each other, each in his turn, and wish 'em good luck. End of story. ZZZZZZ r u randy?

Viv C	NO Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Josh	Well, I don't support capital punishment, so I'm gonna go ahead and say no. Did you know it costs more to execute someone than it does to sentence them to life in prison. Appeals processes and court procedures are expense! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Herbie&Furbie	Yes, in museums. Lethal injection works just fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Andrew G	No it is much too barbaric, however I think capital punishment is probably okay in certain circumstances. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BM	Yes indeedy I saw one ar Aears that was used for massage. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jim T	Electric chair, lethal injection, hangman's gallows, I'm for it all. But I think the best corporal punishment is still the firing squad. Allow the victim's families to pull the trigger, and make the condemned man face all of them, no blindfold, no cigarette, just the face of justice. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
