35. I am only for the death penalty when it comes to a few cases...
I am a liberal when it comes to most things, but when it comes to death pentalty cases, I'm probably almost freeper like. I believe that if someone is going to be put to death, there should be some kind of absolute proof that fingers them. I'm not talking witnesses because they are very unreliable. I'm talking DNA, confessions, hair and fingerprints at the scene.

I also believe they should give the death penalty to those that molest children. There is no hope for them, and if they do it once, there is significant evidence that says that they will do it again. My cousin, Lisa, is the most beautiful person that I have ever met. Her step father (Who happened to be my uncle on my dad's side of the family. Her mom is my mom's sister) molested her when she was 9. Her mother would never believe her. She's now made sure that no man ever finds her attractive, and is scared of men. She's a lesbian and has made herself unattactive to keep them away. I'm glad that bastard died in horrible pain of pneumonia gasping for breath. It was way too good for him.

Rapists deserve it too. If you think putting them in prison is going to reform someone who raped someone, think again. There's a significant chance that if someone rapes another person, they're going to do it again. It's about power, it's about violence, and it's about being dominant over someone else. Taking something like that away from someone else is one of the worst crimes you can commit. That person has to see that for the rest of their lives. It never goes away.

Of course murders deserve it. If you kill you should expect to be killed. Plain and simple.

I know I'm going to totally get flamed for what I have just said. I don't care. It's the way I feel. But I think that they should be 100% positive that the person they have behind bars for that crime is the one that did it. I don't want them to just kill someone to make themselves feel better. I think that if they have the right person, the death penalty is completely justified. Sorry for the long post. This is just something that I'm very passionate about.
