    Most people approve of capital punishment, but most people wouldn't do the hangman's job

    Oh now I get it! If someone murders an innocent fellow human being it's wrong, but if we put a criminal to death... it's fine!

    What is wrong for saying capital punishment should be reserved for mass murderers?

    But if that person takes that right away from multiple people, he is no longer entitled to that right.

    It kinda sounds like you could substitute 'abyss' for 'internet' and it'd still work.
    Bah, it's money for old rope.

    But that person no longer deserves that privilege because he has taken that away from somebody else. It is like if you crash somebody's car, you pay for the car. In this case, if you kill people, you pay for that by being sentenced to death. Life is a privilege not a right. Abuse it and you lose it.

    I said it should only be reserved for serial killers. I do not understand how you can accidentally kill a few people at various different times.
    Your life is a privilege. Why is a serial killer more entitled to life than the people he has murdered? Him/her living only keeps the chance for said serial killer to escape and kill more innocent people.

    Also does capital punishment, do anything to prevent serial killings like say Charles Manson, although he is bad example because he physical never killed anyone.

    They jumped into the knife? :)
    Just because someone rapes a girl doesn't mean he should be raped right?
