Seeing as the General Religion board has been getting into a right old two and eight over the death penalty I thought it would be worth moving the topic into the correct forum for debating purposes.

So here is the gist. Should the state execute those deemed by the state to be guilty of capital crimes. These include Ted Bundy, the Rosenbergs, Saddam Hussein and Gary Gilmore. Innocent people have died, guilty people still live and vice versa.

The death penalty has been abolished in all member states of the European Union (although opinion polls suggest that it still has massive support). In the US it is legal.

As a wet English liberal I am clearly against it and I view those in favour as wrong. Let's start the ball rolling.
