yes. I'm a believer in exodus 21:23 and I would be prepared to be the government sanctioned murderer. It is murder, its just santioned murder. Having said that, I also believe that we need to improve our society a LOT more as a lot (not all, I admit) of the young offenders are there due to idiots being allowed to have children and subsequently abusing them. Give them a hobby like build their own motorbike

istepping away from the death penalty - hows about things like birching.

fer instance - persistant offender constantly burgling, TWOCing etc - couple of lashes and public humilation or ridiculous bail conditions that allow him to get away with murder?

The day we have a society based around a laughably contradictory book written by fallible humans about an invisible man who doesn't exist is the day society truly breaks down...

It was called the "dark ages" for a reason

Keith - you're thinking of capital punishment. Corporal punishment is physical, not terminal.
