Execution or Life Imprisonment

I am not saying I have been directly moderated but what does an 'axe to grind', a 'slanted view', 'don't want to be argumentative' mean if not moderation, this selection of different pieces of your posts must be your own personal opinion, right?

Unfortunately, posters may confuse the two - moderator and opinion writer, how are we posters meant to ascertain if a mod is in mod or IMO mode?

Anyway, it seems we have strayed off topic - 'poster self moderation' whatever next.

But don't give up your day job as Jethro might not find a cheaper worker.

To execute or not is always and has always been a very emotive subject, the pros and cons of the argument have gone on for decades and will continue to do so.
Some particular grisly and needless murders should automatically incur the death penalty as life imprisonment is not what we think, it is not life but a considerable time often as short as 15 years, NOW that in my book is not justice for the victims family but just a way of saying well we did it so he /she can have their rights. So the counter-argument then goes but what about the rights of the victim, the chance to grow up, have children and contribute to society as a whole they have been snuffed out by an act.
Then we have the accidents the mistakes should those incur the death penalty, I think not if it is proven it was a mistake or an accident.
However stabbing/shooting or just fighting them to cause a death or any other pre-meditated way is not an accident but murder and as the Good Book says and eye for an eye, and that I believe should be the case.

Perhaps KP the cheapest way of the UK getting rid of convicted murderers would be to push them out of a plane with a parachute over the Islamic State with their British passports? Let's really head back to the dark ages in style.

There was although many years ago that an island far north off the scottish coastline which was used for anthrax testing and is still polluted today, could be used as p[rison for lifers. Clean a square mile and dump them their with building materials etc. feed them by resupply once a month problem solved. Nothing is cut and dried these days of of the 21st century, oft times we hear of those convicted of murder after realesae do it again, the sheer cost of keeping them alive JUST to dsatisfy the do-goodes etc is astronomical, easier just to shoot them cost about One poind for the bullets. `

Cryogenics, get the best of both worlds.
Snap freeze for 25 years and then thaw them out, if they wake up all well and good. Off you go son. Sentence served. Win Win $\:D/$

Streuth Barney if it was safe I wouldn't mind being frozen each NZ winter. The unemployed might want to be frozen during recessions.

20 or 30 years ago my impression from the media of many murderers in NZ was that they were decent people who made a bad mistake. They'd get sentenced to life imprisonment and in those days be parolled after 10 or 12 years. They'd be released and then never cause any trouble again. It would be front page of the newspaper if they did and that was almost never.

It's a bit different now. Many more nowadays are evil bastards that are too dangerous to release until they're old and frail. However the great bulk of them will be fine to release. However I would say I'd be hesitant to employ one of these gentlemen.

Now your thinking GT, this thread and to use the wise words of Jack has "been exhumed from a frigid state" and it appears their is life in the old girl yet. It proves my case actually.

One may use cryogenics to escape many other of life's situations besides your last meal and a long walk to the gallows,
A bad marriage for instance, Tax evasion, any more........

Cryogenics is proven to be safe, because Walt Disney would not do anything fanciful. :-"

Many English football supporters might choose to get frozen during the World Cup to avoid the disappointment.

Dazzz might choose to get frozen until Islam has more or less disappeared.
