Capital Punishment
Capital punishment is a disgusting example of how stupid, ignorant and lazy our American society is. Society punishes victims (yes, "victims," of our corrupt system) for its own mistakes. It is a punishment that does not fit the crime because in most circumstances the "crime" was destined to happen, considering everything (and I would like to emphasize on the word "everything") that an individual has been through. If people are a product of their environment, then they shouldn't be punished for something that was bound to happen.
The reasons for capital punishment, or any punishment for that matter are; the idea that pain is necessary to prevent future crime, to prevent the general population who have not committed crimes from doing so, and or to cure criminal patients through treatment. Punishment is just not only when it aims at redeeming the person being punished, but also when it is a sacrifice to the common good.

Title capital punishmentStriking out to hurt what hurts us is a natural impulse. It is what makes us kick the table leg when we stub our toe. In the words of the Old Testament: "When one man strikes another and kills him, he shall be put to death. It shall be done to him as he had bestowed on to others; fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth." Unfortunately, we base this on the assumption that offenders are free to choose between committing and not committing crimes. Most of them are not. Free will? Yes, in some cases, but most of the time forces beyond human will control or determine individual behavior. Endless amounts of research have demonstrated a relationship between social conditions and crime. Psychiatrists point to subconscious forces beyond the conscious will's control that determine criminal conduct. Biologists have linked violent...

Did you every take into consideration the victims? Ever take into consideration somebody who was murdered just because they were there? I may not have questioned this essay so much if you had not composed this essay of opinion. But you did, so this is mine:
Capital Punishment is a necessity...Serial killers or killers at all should not be able to live after what they've done, even if it is "beneficial" for humankind. That might mean people who are poor and don't have food might want to kill someone so they can go on trial and work, and be fed and taken care of for the rest of there life. If you ask me, no matter how beneficial it is for humankind, it isn't worth the life of another. And why the heck would you want them to join the army? I wouldn't want a bunch of evil murderers defending my country. I wouldn't trust them. Just as easily as they turned on the person they murdered, they'd turn on their country or the country they're defending. I'm sorry, well no i'm not, but your opinion is absolutely off base. If you're going to make an opinion at least state the ups and downs of it. Don't keep it in Black and White...make it full of color.
