Strange that someone would even compare the cost of an execution to housing, feeding and medically providing for someone for their entire life. Very strange.

The point is, first you say if people were executed, children would be safe, and then you say execution doesn't stop others. You are contradicting yourself.
because it doesn't stop others doesn't mean we shouldn't dispose of those that have. why should you expect to live if you take a life in anything other than a tragic accident?
Yep, it didn't take too long to realize that. To be fair though, the very nature of online forums, not just this one, seems to encourage and amplify it.

NO...read again , i said just because it doesn't stop others doesn't mean we shouldn't. that was a reply to either yourself or another who has that belief. just because i played along with it for the sake of debate doesn't mean i agree.

Perhaps you should make that clear, otherwise people will take your words at face value. That's kind of the point of a discussion.
Yes, that's what happens on discussion forums. People make posts and other people respond.
What is your point?
my point dear is that you respond to a post, somebody posts a view point that differs from your own and you come out with the 'well you brought it up' mantra.

I do when the posters complain about something that they brought into the conversation, like PPhIlster's comparing costs.

That has nothing to do with the cost of executing someone. That is a story about California's "legendarily slow appeals system" and related bureaucracy. An execution is as cheap as a bullet.
That's to be decided - it's certain that if he is found insane the NRA will breathe a sigh of relief
I wouldn't be relieved to live in a country where lunatics have such easy access to lethal weapons.
Have you seen those assault rifles made especially for little children? That whole bloody country should be sectioned.

Reducing and preventing are two different things. Penalties obviously reduce crime.
I guess Japan is also an "uneducated country" too?
it's a hell of a lot cheaper.

but you responded and the above seems to be your answer to a lot of things.

are you not good at the nuances of discussion?
I don't see what your problem is with it.
Not when people don't make it clear they're making things up for the sake of debate, no.
Has it really come down to what punishment is cheaper? Y'know, do some people choose capital punishment because it may be the cheaper option?
As far as I'm concerned, the cost is and should be irrelevant.
But to play along, how much does it cost to kill someone?
No, that's just one benefit.
Really? OK, by gun, the price of a bullet.
FFS :rolleyes:
In that case we could use hanging. Rope does not cost much.
It's not strange at all. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/29552692/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/execute-or-not-question-cost/
