The Death Penalty

Dear Forumites:

I... am a slacker. I have waited until the last possible week to write my research paper. I hate writing research papers... I feel this will be the downfall of my college existance...but I digress.

I need your help, dear forumites. I need to create an original source, and so I have chosen this forum to do so. I am creating a poll and asking for your response to the question.

I have not decided my position on the death penalty yet... I will need to come to my own conclusion prior to writing my paper.

But you all have opinions... I know you do... so share them with me.

The death penalty: Right or Wrong? Why do you feel that way?

TIA

My uncle was murdered in Gatlinburg Tenn. His murderer is on death row. I support the penalty.

I think the death penalty is right for practical reasons, not moral or religious. So I didn't vote.

I walk the line on this one....on one hand it is the court "playing God"....but on the other hand some should be put to death for the crime they committed and not live the rest of their live on my tax dollars

I'm with Auntie Vrai, I'm not going to vote

I support the death penalty. It should be employed more often! I'm sick of being afraid to live!

Prison's are crowded and the inmates live better than some children in the country. My best friend from school was murdered last year and I'd like to personally bleed the #%)#&#$)(% to death.
He left her kids orphaned.
His statement on MySpace just after his arrest said he was sick with greed and crazy for the psuedo respect that ghetto ass drug dealer types think they deserve.
