    The tougher the better, I think!
    Come on, bring back the capital punishment.

      I am not one for capital punishment, I am to liberation for that. I think that healthy communities looking out for each other are for more effective than capital punishment.

      We need to get back to those times when people looked out for each other.

        But I think life sentence for someone, for example, a terrorist who has killed thousand lives, is not enough. Especially, if one of the victims is one of your beloved family members, relatives or friends.

        Moreover, using taxpayers’ money to feed the terrorist for the rest of his life, serving his sentence, is not a wise way to spend the money.

        Capital punishment is actually a very interesting issue.

        Now, do you think it’s wrong to kill Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Gaddafi, etc?

          Interesting as you say there are lots of arguments for and against, but personally I can’t condone it. There are instances where people have been found guilty when they are innocent and vice versa.

          The person administering the sentence also becomes a killer too.

          I don’t think that a convicted terrorist should live out their life in luxury though…

          And interesting question to ponder…
