Default Re: This is why I\'m for the death penalty.

Well as I see capital punishment as a harder/tougher form of punishment than say a prison sentence I dont know how it is possible for me to talk about this issue with you.

It's certainly harder/tougher, but that's like saying a nuclear bomb is just a "tougher" version of a gun. Well, sure, but that doesn't mean that if I think firearms and automatic weapons are fine that I think nuclear weapons are fine.

And until someone comes up with a time machine Im pretty sure serving time in prison is also irreversable.

A life sentence can be reversed. A death sentence cannot. Sure, a life sentence cannot be fully reversed if someone has served some time, but a death sentence cannot be reversed at all. This is really an obvious objective truth, so I don't know why you would want to zone in on this distinction to make your argument.
