From | Pariah Idealism | To | Debating the DPA | | Message | Why not? All of our party has been brought up and told by many people that you should never kill someone? If the governments justice system is allowed to kill people for their sins then we are just as bad as the person being killed. |

From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the DPA | | Message | As I have said before there are some people that deserve to die for their crimes. |

From | Pariah Idealism | To | Debating the DPA | | Message | It's a bigger crime to enforce this law. |

From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the DPA | | Message | I don't understand what is the problem with getting rid of some individuals who don't deserve to be alive. |

From | Pariah Idealism | To | Debating the DPA | | Message | Your opinion I guess. |
| Date | 07:22:39, April 27, 2008 CET |
From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the DPA | | Message | Surely we must limit the death penalty to only extreme cases and the status quo does just that. |
| Date | 13:24:36, April 27, 2008 CET |
From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the DPA | | Message | We should never apply the death penalty, not even in the extreme cases. I would rather see a terrorits spend the rest of his life in jail without any chance of ever getting out that killing him and give him a easy way out |
| Date | 20:54:59, April 27, 2008 CET |
From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the DPA | | Message | That's a tired argument. If a jury determined spending life in jail would be harsher than it could sentence that way, but we believe flexibility to impose harsher punishment in extreme cases is justified. |
| Date | 02:27:18, April 28, 2008 CET |
From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the DPA | | Message | well the LLP thinks of the death penalty as state sponsered murder, so I guess we just have to agree to disagree. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
