Default For or Against the Death Penalty
I don't want to sound like I repeat myself here but I just read this piece in diariolibre.com, please click here.

So I wonder what is your position on this issue guys?

Are you for or against the death penalty given this circumstances?

The death penalty does not deter murder but it does scare people into confessions.

I think life behind bars is a greater penalty.

It does not deter but it stops them from commiting more crimes!

I'm against, because, only poor people get executed, you will never see a rich powerful person given the death penalty as a panishment.

Maybe because they have money to hired the best lawyers and buy the Judges .

I forgot the name of that Texas Millionaire that chopped his wife (i think) in to pieces, but still was found not guilty, eventhough everybody knew he did it.

O.J. anyone?

This also brings to mind the Menendez boys, who brutally murdered their parents and got life in prison after a second trial. If their parents were not rich, probably death penalty.
