Saddam hangs

Thou shall not kill shouldn't have exceptions.

Dang, we done gone and went political now. Thou shalt not kill was a commandment listed in the Bible, supposedly handed down by God.

You're suggesting that we legislate religion, which I wholeheartedly disagree with.

Maybe you meant that killing is just wrong from a moral sense, regardless of what religion you subscribe to. If so, then your point is a little easier to swallow, just poor choice of words I guess.

Either way though, religion should stay out of it altogether. If it's a moral issue, I guess I have different morals. There are circumstances in which killing is OK in my book (not many, but there are some).

if you take someones life, your life should be taken from you.

It costs a lot more to execute someone than it does to keep them in jail for a lifetime

Not in Saddam's case where he went right to the execution. Here in the states you are right, because the death row convicts appeal time after time, taking up costly death row cells for years and commanding the time of judges and court staff.

But then you consider how our prisons are overcrowded already, and how keeping someone in jail for life just takes up space in the prisons. There's a bit of a trickle-down effect.

Let me go on the record and say I think we, America, executed Saddam.
Yes, he was hung in Iraq by Iraqis, but his blood is on our hands.

So? 6 feet under is a good place for him.

I think the hanging is stupid, bc getting jailed for life would be a worst penalty. And this is just going to cause more sectarian violence, which is the last thing Iraq needs.

Terrible.

Sadamm still had supporters who could break him out of jail, and whos to say the terrorists wouldent do it to make a statement against america. Dead is where he with his gay lover Satan.

Also about the death penalty, when you are messed up in the head enough to kill someone for fun or without remorse i highly doubt that jail will be any great punishment to you. Death penalty can also give closure to families and friends who might not just feel safe with a maniac behind bars.

So what? whats your point? This argument is used all the time and #1 I just dont believe it and #2 dont give a shit. You kill, you die. It just needs to be a quicker process.

Why dont you expand on that thought for me please.
