| Message | Opposed. Killing people is always wrong. We must protect the unborn, the dying, and even the sickest in our society, for no one is beyond redemption. |

| Message | No. As we have already said in a contemporary society the death penalty does not work. |

| Message | Why "does [it] not work"? The people are dead and aretherfore not commiting crimes. Sounds like they won't be commiting crime - so it works. |

| Message | The death penalty is designed to *deter* crimes, on the theory that people are less likely to commit crimes if they know they will be killed. But in fact it doesn't deter crimes. And inncoent people have been executed. So it doesn't work to accomplish that purpose. If the only purpose is to protect society, then life imprisonment works just as well as the death penalty. |

| Date | 02:10:29, July 31, 2005 CET | From | Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party | To | Debating the The Scars of the Humanist Nanny-State Act V (Death Penalty) |
| Message | The death penalty only works as a deterent if the person is known in the area, in a modern contemporary setting people don't know everybody else, as they would have done in villages, small townships etc. thus it does not work as a deterent. Moreover, since our 'prisoners' if I recall correctly, work during their inprisonment, death clearly is not cheaper. |

| Message | A sane person does not associate himself with a terrorist or other serious criminal, even if he is from their home town. Life enprisonment might even help us to learn why/how people turn into criminals against mankind. |
