Why drug users should be executed (and the American justice system reformed)
In order for a society to flourish, one must destroy what plagues it, namely criminals. Murderers take away a life and cause grief and misfortune to family members and friends. Any individual with a thread of humanity and decency would advocate the execution of such a monster. In addition, rapists would certainly deserve the death penalty. But what about drug users? Afterall they do no harm to anybody except themselvs, right? It is, afterall, simply a recreational activility and as such, it shouldn't warrant such meassures as death, right? WRONG! Drug users cause much harm to society as a whole. They have not the intelligence, when impaired (and one would argue, at all) to think rationally and thus a hindered ability, such as operating machierachy or driving a car, would victimize many undeserving individuals, simply because of the drug user's stupidity. In addition, this irrationality that is the inevitable result of taking drugs can increase violence and other destructive and anti-social behavior. If they cause harm to others, they deserve not to live in society. Six years manslaughter for an individual who, under the infleunce of a drug, caused the death of a young gentleman is not justified, and this seems to be the penalty for robbing another individual of their lives. No, it was not intentional, but taking the drugs was. In addition, the justice system in the United States needs reform. For one, the procedure of an individual warranting the death penalty should not involve excessive wait times and a painless death, but instead a quick trial and a more fiting death, namely execution by firing squad. Anybody who cares about humnaity would certainly support this punnishment.

The Line Up So Far

Human life is sacred. NO ONE should be killed. People who do wrong should be kept away from society and if need be punished.
But Society should never willfully kill a human being.
if human life is sacred, what about those who died from the drug users inhumane actions?
[FONT=Arial]Do you smoke? Drink alcohol? Consume chocolate? Brew coffee? Add sugar?
I would rather a family member smoke marijuana than drink alcohol. I would rather a family member seek LSD than tobacco. The latter is more likely to cause chronic disorders.

No I dont smoke nor drink alcohol and both should be illegal. Eating chocolate doesn't rob an individual of his rationality. Although smoking doesn't cause any neurological problems, it does harm people via second hand smoke and such.

Saying that I have no issues with killing if it was in self defense and not every revolution is bloodless its a sad fact but killing is sometimes part of change. Saying that under no circumstances be pushed as a good thing and should only ever take place in extreme events. (But lets not derail the thread it may make an interest thread in the philosophy section)
The death plenty is a joke
"You killed someone breaking the law of the state so now the state will kill you"
Bertrand Russell "The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation."
passmore, are you going for irony??? o.O seriously what's worse? killing someone for not being communist or killing someone for causing harm to others?clearly the death penalty exists to create security among the population.
The death plenty can be used on the innocent, 1 innocent killed by mistake makes the death plenty an awful mistake.
You also do not need the death plenty to secure the population when we can lock up people for many years and rehabilitate (perhaps a series of education and anger management in some cases of passion)
Bertrand Russell "The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation."
[FONT=Arial]Nobody wants to kill non-communists, so I don't get why you even beg the question... [/FONT]
"Why drug users should be executed"
Because arbitrary rule is fun?
"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist."
- Dom Helder Camara, Brazilian archbishop
"Definition of a conservative: a person who believes that nothing should be done for the first time." - mikelepore
It was my response that killing may be ok in some political situations (Anti colonial action for example)
Bertrand Russell "The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation."
Rarely is a person wrongfully convicted. besides with surviellence cameras being prominent ideally, we hav a better change of catching the individual in the act. with DNA eviendce and the possibility of witnesses being present can create a position in favour of the state prosucetting and the individual if innocent. Locking drug users up is not as effecient because there is the possibility of parole and they would be in prison combined with the petty criminals. Besides those in prison have a decent quality of life, which criminals should not have.
You, sir, have quite a pair to suggest that killing off drug users of any kind would benefit society in any way. You're not only naïve in thinking this would kill off any sort of crime permanently, but you're also under the unfortunate impression that the state should hold the power to execute anyone at all, nonetheless drug users. You're not only including those "evil heroin and coke addicts" in that phrase, you also include those who use cannabis, LSD, ecstasy, coffee, and many other substances that alter bodily function.
Are you going to make all drugs illegal or just the "bad" ones that are used for recreational purposes? If it's the latter, then who's going to decide what's appropriate to consume and what isn't?
As long as you hold such a ridiculous and barbaric stance you should back it up with arguments that go beyond the cliché "well drug users are bad for society cuz they dont do nothin except take drugs for no reesons and they harm others sometimes."
There is too much needless death in this world without Society consciously contributing to it.
I don't see the death penalty in any way consistant with the brotherhood of all people on earth. People commit crimes, make mistakes, and there should be a punishment--but death isn't an option for a civilized society.
there are some topics transforming revleft to bogovich forumi am getting confused...
no you should be executed because you thing that MANY people should die.You are a MASS murderer.

The drugs I am refering to are all the illegal ones and alcohol. Drugs used to cure or help with remedies are clearly not inclueded, as they posess some benefit. Recreational drugs posess no benefit. A functional society should not allow a population to walk around brainless and pathetic. In addition, they cause strain on the decent people needing healthcare (it should be private anyways) who have to endure long waiting lists for the sake of the community. There are absolutely no benefit of using drugs, and in the case where there are only negatives, the use of substances that case create harm to many, should clearly be denied and severe meassures enforced to make society safer. I know I would be safer.
Its all about revenge than justice.
"An eye for an eye, and soon the whole world is blind." Mahatma Gandhi
Bertrand Russell "The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation."
People make mistakes, eh? So, the person without feeling and emotion, the sociopath, should coexist with the humane and decent people? Explain how one would feel safer this way.
This is sad, killing weak people because they don't contribute.
