| Message | We meant to say "capital punishment is a violation of human RIGHTS." To the Conservatives: we certainly believe that guilty criminals should recieve life in prison for murder and other horrendously violent crimes. However, we do not support continuing the legality of government-sponsored murder. Let those guilty spend the rest of their lives behind bars. Thanks to the DLP and GMP. |

| Message | Actually, I would prefer to give capital criminals lives of hard labor, but that is beside the point. Capital punishment is not murder. I hardly think 50 years with food, bed, and protection is punishment for rape, murder, etc. Let the punishment fit the crime. |

| Message | The taking of another's life is murder. Let's be honest. |
| Date | 04:04:50, May 03, 2006 CET | From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Death Penalty Act 2221 |
| Message | No. Forgetting the life of one murdered is as good as a murder. |
