Well actually since 1997 the death penalty can no-longer be given out for treason in the UK, though no-one's been convicted of that since WWII anyway that didn't change much. Treason technically isn't only killing monarchs, it can also include giving away state secrets to states we are warring with etc.lunncal said:Uh... Britian doesn't have the death penalty. Well technically we still have it for treason, but no-one would ever really be bothered enough to kill our monarchs, since they don't actually do anything any-more. Britain effectively has no death penalty.Macgyvercas said:See, i don't agree with that. We need to follow what Britain does. You get one appeal and that's it. (Again, information taken from Wikipedia. Take as you will).Dirty Hipsters said:The problem with the death penalty is that in the US it ends up costing more to execute someone than it does to keep them in prison for life, because on death row they get an almost limitless amount of appeals which cost taxpayer money for the court to go through. That is my one and only reason for being against the death penalty at the moment, because honestly, some people just deserve a long and painful death.
DAMN! I came in here ready to post that, and I was ninja'd on the first page! Damn you, and your Monty Python knowledge!evilneko said:Death by running off a cliff while being chased by a bunch of topless women.
