Why I dont believe in Death Sentance
The point is death penalty doesnot solve the problem. See it has been the system used over several generations. So it is actually about breaking traditions. Let us look at certain countries where the criminal activity atleast supposedly less. These would ofcourse be scandinavian countries. They donot have a death penalty.
I do agree that it appears that in recent years the violence has really increased. But it not the problem of education. The education system nowadays is you could call result oriented. What we want is a system where the people study about there culture, what they are who they are. It really by knowing what you are that you become better. When you punish somebody U are really assuming that you are better than that person. Not even society as a whole can be said to be on an higher pedastal than the person, all said and done he is a living thing same as us.
So What do we do. We have to think about a new system where we do give chance to these criminals. Psychology is now so advanced that you can actually evaluate a person without much error. Ofourse i agree that errors do happen. Here everything was said except why the person commits a crime. That is what every one forgets. Also the question comes do we give the death penalty to the doer or the conceiver of the crime or we give it to both. If there are more than a single person do we kill them all.
In a hypothetical case let us say that a person is killed by the specific design of a group comprising of Hundreds, then should'nt the judge give death sentance to each one of them as all of them are equally guilty. This is almost perfect example of the insufficiency of the system.Do air your views.

An eye for an eye. A leg for a leg.
When a person knows that taking the life of another results in his own demise, he will be deterred from doing the act of murder.
thats all what i have to say.
I dont believe that is the right way. Who should decide who is the victim and who is the criminal. How can any system just do so without even a shadow of doubt. Most of this would be like shadow boxing. That you cant say for sure what has happened.

*scratches head*...Uh,dude..WHAT is that supposed to mean??..Aren't you forgetting something?..Somebody is dead,and from the evidence,the judges have declared that the accused is guilty..!!...so where does the shadow-boxing part come in??..And obvously,the guy who got killed is the victim,or do you doubt that too?
"from the evidence,the judges have declared that the accused is guilty..!!"
Basically that was my point also only thing is evidence if cooked up by some on then so accused is dead. Then judges are humans too. that means that they may not decide correctly.
Yup guy who was killed is supposed to be victim. But does that indicate the other guy. That is what i meant. Sorry for the trouble.
I have been looking for sites like this for a long time. Thank you!
