It seems like most people favor the death penalty, or even if they're against it, it's only because they want the criminal to suffer more etc. Do you think most people really feel this way? Or are the vengeful just more outspoken in their beliefs?


and oddly enough, when you press those who are against the death penalty, they usually arrive at a position that essentially says that they are anti-punishment, in general....

How is wanting someone to suffer a lifetime in prison not vengeance?
