Capital Punishment.

[brenden]

In Singapore, attempting suicide is a crime, for which the maximum penalty is the death penalty, and yes, there has been someone who has been executed by the death penalty for attempting suicide.

Personally I would not have anything against capital punishment if we were certain that the accused did commit the crime. However in many instances, the accused has been proven to be not guilty, but it's too late, as the accused has already been killed. In cases like these you question such a punishment that has the capacity to take an innocent individuals life. It can be too risky. Therefore based on this I am against capital punishment, regardless of the crime that has been committed.

Source? Because I'm calling bullshit.

I say source because the only information I can find about the death penalty and suicide is "Abetting the suicide of an 18 year old or an insane person"

Im personally not that for capital punishment, simply because you cant prove with certainty that someone is guilty of a crime and im just  not a fan of killing people just as a general rule. ( not the best developed arguments but still)  however if there were to be capital punishment, id defiantly prefer it to be nitrogen asphyxiation to lethal injection/ firing squad or whatever. some people say that the unplesentness in death will be a deterrent but i figure dying's probably enough in itself

There is no real way to tell whether or not a person is 100% guilty. If this was possible than capital punishment would be a good idea. Sadly we can't be certain. If a person is not guilty of the crime and is killed that would be so sad.

If a person is not guilty of the crime than it is killed that would be so frustrating.

I just keep thinking of prison break!

I understand that this topic is slightly irrelevant now, but Brenden I'm interested in your concept of getting people to hell 'quicker.' I feel like applying worldly time to eternity, an unchanging limitless place is contradictory. Using the same logic, a 'good' person may commit suicide to get to heaven faster, and (assuming that both exist for the purpose of the argument) I don't think that in a location where time is ironically void by being so all consuming, ten to thirty years on Earth would be irrelevant Does that make sense? I'm pretty tired...

[brenden]

It makes sense, the use of getting to eternity quicker was a deliberate contradiction on my part haha Truthfully I wonder about some religious concepts that are better left for another thread haha.

Oh I seeeee, sorry my bad.

Haha, don't worry, easy mistake to make - at least your reply was well reasoned!
