text: what are your thoughts about the death penalty? for or against... state your reasons i think that it just depends... if there is tons of evidence to prove the person guilty then by all means lock 'em up! but if you can't prove the person for the accused wrong doing.. then dont punish an innocent person. it also depends on the crime... if someone had done something so undescribable... then do the same undescribeable thing right back at that person.. i think that anyone that does anything to an innocent child should definatly be locked up forever or given the death penalty... they didnt even give that innocent child a chance at life... i will leave with this forever one to think about... our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. a positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. it is that one amazing spark that creates extraordinary results!!!
