Having to watch the state finals for this years debating competition today, it made me realise that the death penalty is actually not a bad idea – no wonder the US supports it. It cuts down on costs, and saves the world from some really sick people today.
Cutting down on costs – isn’t that what we are all about today? With the global economy going into recession shouldn’t we be conserving money. Instead of providing prisons for people it would be much more cost effective to just sentence everyone to death. Sure we still have to maintain some prisons for those who committed tiny crimes and were too dumb to get away with it – but those who commit serious crimes should be shot on the spot. Maintaing prisons, hiring prison guards, and not to mention the energy required to run a prison costs society too much. Imagine if we cut backon the number of prisons, the income tax rate would drop severely. If we executed people it would be a lot faster and less people to care for in our prisons saving us millions even billions. In the long term the death penalty is just so much more economical.
The death penalty rids the world of sick people like rapists and paedophiles. These sick people who are too lame to “get some” using their brain, have to target the weak and helpless and get their jollies somehow. I may be a cold hearted superficial cynical SOB but raping people and touching little children is just low even for me. The death penalty will ensure that these bastards and the occasional bitch wont ever stoop so low again. So anyone else agree these people should just be shot on the spot?
Some may argue that the death penalty is inhumane and immoral. Well me being me both those things go out the window. If it was up to me the death penalty would be slow and torturous inflicting as much pain as possible before the person dies. However since the government wants to play nice, so they stay in power they have to opt for the more humane option – although some say taking another persons life in inhumane altogether. Lethal injection and hanging(if its done properly) is pretty humane. Dying with the pain of a needle, and a broken neck is pretty much instantaneous. However if some idiot hangs a person and doesnt do it properly they would probably die of suffocation before their neck is snapped. Firing squads can be quite humane as well – i mean a simple bullet to the brain will kill someone instantaneously.
Personally two of my favourites which are sanctioned by governments are stoning and the electric chair. There is nothing better to watch someone die slowly. Throwing stones at someone until they bleed to death ought to be quite fun to watch and even participate in. The electric chair is probably one of the most prized inventions ever. Watching someone being fried to death is awesome. Slowly their blood boils until they die.
Now one argument that was brought up during the debate was that it is not right to “murder” someone even if they had. However I would like to point out that it technically is not murder if it is a government sanctioned action. So legally you could get away with it.
So as you can gather I am definitely in support of the death penalty. However for those who deem it is inhumane- go tell someone who cared and please make sure you know what you are talking about.
