Any country with death penalty is a nation still with a foot in the dark ages.
You're a reasonable person, from what I've seen on the forums, and I'm actually interested why you'd hold such an opinion -- why are you against death penalty?
I support it. Assuming that guilt has been proven beyond all shadow of doubt, death penalty is more humane then a lifelong incarceration will ever be. I don't see the benefit of lifelong torture paid for with taxpayers money, and people who truly deserve it do not care about the consequences of their actions anyways -- what the method of punishment will be is irrelevant to them.
(Death penalty is abolished in my country, just for the reference.)
Can't see how anyone could think that execution is more humane than incarceration. Just seems like a rather silly attempt by the pro-death penalty lobby to appeal to the liberalism od the anti-death penalty lobby. And i find it funny that the pro-death penalty use "incarceration costs the taxpayer money" as one of the reasons it's a good thing, as is saving money is a good reason to kill people.

Ever been locked up in a cell for your entire life? I guess you imagine it'd be a fun thing, like a vacation.
No, but then i've never committed a crime worthy of such punishment. Your attempt at humour is just that, an attempt.
Lets say someone commits many non-violent crimes, like fraud, and accumulate an 80 year prison sentence. Should we kill them too? I mean, so what if they haven't killed or hurt anyone...
Prisoners might be incarcerated for the rest of their life but they have the right to live, and we shouldn't be taking that life away from them just because they might not enjoy the rest of their lives as much as they did before.
What if a lifer has kids that they'd like to see grow up? Should we kill him/her anyway because it'd be more "humane" to kill them?
Imprisonment is much more humane than execution, any attempt to say otherwise is simply moronic.

Originally by: Exploding Tukey People against the death penalty are still ok with locking people up in a box and making them stare at a wall until they die.
Logical!
No we're not.

Curious. You ever been incarcerated?
Not so much the "Martha, I got another DUI in the Prius" type, but, the "Welp. Shoulda known better than to try to rob that bank." decade+ type.
I have a feeling you have not....
No. Have you ever been executed? If not, how can you know it's more humane?
