The Death Penalty

I can't say that I have chosen a side to the fullest, but if I had to pick one, I would be for the death penalty. It just doesn't make since to me as to why we give people who have murdered a place to live and food to eat. Especailly when it is our tax dollars that are paying for it. People say that they should have to sit in a jail for the rest of there life and suffer as opposed to the death penalty. If you want them to suffer so bad then let them sit there until they starve to death. That will give them at least a little time to think about what they have done. I just hate the fact that we pay for people to stay alive because the death penalty is no longer used.

If I am not mistaken, our country is/was based around the Christain religion. That is what is wrong with this nation. We have slowly fallen off of our beliefs over these years. We have altered them to make sure eveyone gets what they want. For example, in the bible it obviously is against being gay. These days we are starting to make it legal for gays to get married. Also in the bible it says "an eye for an eye." Personally, I believe it should be the same concept when it comes to the death penalty. If you are going to kill someone, then you should be killed. Prisons are becoming more populated each day anyways. I think that people just need to wake up and smell the roses.

Just because the government has the right to kill doesn't mean that we have the right. When the government does it, it is done for justice. People that do it in society just take matters into their own hands and don't think before they take action.
