Capital Punishment is very rarely, if ever, given to anything other than a premedetative crime. How can you say it doesn't reduce the number of murders? I really don't know where you're getting that statistic from, as it is an abstract statistic which I believe you would have trouble proving.

what is the difference between locking someone away for the rest of their life, and putting them to death?
If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh

Also, the death penalty simply does not work. A New York Times study found that in the last 20 years, the homicide rate in states with the death penalty has been 48%-101% higher than in states without the death penalty.

The discussion was on capital punishment. There may be degrees of guilt, and a person who kills someone in a war situation may feel less guilty than a bank robber who kills someone robbing a bank. I suppose it depends on your morals and background but ultimately, it's still murder.

i'm totally against the death penalty for any crime.
sending someone to prison for the rest of their natural life without any possibility of release is enough.
nobody should have the right to take anybody else's life no matter what they might have done.
