From | Gaduri Resistencia | To | Debating the Death | | Message | Having a death penalty is a crime against the innocent. |
| Date | 15:35:27, June 27, 2007 CET |
From | Capitalists for Prosperity | To | Debating the Death | | Message | Not true. Having a death penalty discourages violent crime, and that helps the innocent. |

From | Gaduri Resistencia | To | Debating the Death | | Message | Except when the court gets it wrong and finds them guilty... |

From | Capitalists for Prosperity | To | Debating the Death | | Message | Which rarely happens when you give a few years of appeals. Besides, considering that you're only sacrificing a few people for the sake of many that can then sleep soundly at home, the death penalty is the lesser of two evils. |

From | Gaduri Resistencia | To | Debating the Death | | Message | Hardly true. New evidence often comes to light a bit too late for the poor person you've just slaughtered. And all the evidence suggests the death penalty doesn't reduce crime at all. |

From | Gaduri Resistencia | To | Debating the Death | | Message | And America, the nation with the highest gun crime of any first-world nation? Or for that matter, Britain historically, which had huge crime rates despite having death as the penalty for virtually every crime. |
| Date | 00:14:08, June 28, 2007 CET |
From | Capitalists for Prosperity | To | Debating the Death | | Message | America has other factors in play. I don't know about Britain. Anyway, the fact the death penalty defers crime is common sense. |

From | Gaduri Resistencia | To | Debating the Death | | Message | Just doesn't work in practice, unfortunately. Most criminals are too desperate to care, and the rest don't think about it anyway. |

From | People's Liberation Front | To | Debating the Death | | Message | singapore is a hell hole since britain has given it independance and lwe closed our military bases there |

From | Capitalists for Prosperity | To | Debating the Death | | Message | Bullcrap. Singapore is one of the cleanest, safest, most prosperous cities in the world. |
