1. What is Capital Punishment?

Punishment that consists of killing the offender. Methods vary around the
world andinclude, or have included, hanging, garrotting, and
use of the guillotine, shooting, gassing, lethal injection and electrocution. I
nthe UK, general capital punishment for murder was abolished in 1965 an
d was replaced by life imprisonment. Capitalpunishment for treason and pi
racy was abolished in 1998.
2. Is capital Punishment Just or Unjust?
- Arguments with illustrations, facts
Morality is defined as "the principles of right and wrong." As moral
creatures, humans deserve praise for good deeds, and punishment for bad
ones. Punishment may range from a slap on the wrist to death, but the
punishment must fit the crime. This is known as lax talons, or in common
jargon, "an eye for an eye." Abolitionists [those who want to abolish the
death penalty] often insist that if we argue for lax talon justice we must be
prepared to rape rapists, beat sadists, and burn down the houses of
arsonists. Certainly, this is the case if we take the lax talon literally, and
the criminals do deserve those punishments, but we needn't take it
literally. The ancient Jews did not. They allowed for monetary
compensation for physical or property damage
3. Conclusion
When youre in a rush, or when youre in a car park, it is important that you have easy
access to your keys. A quality keying provides that access, and gives you a chance to
express personal style. From a keying featuring a personal expression I AM AGAINST THE
DEATH PENALTY. You choose this keying that expresses who you are, and support our
project to help TX Death Rows inmates.
