Yes, I think Texas should continue executions. People think they can just go around killing innocent people but they shouldn't. Putting them in prison for life isn't enough punishment. This world has become an awful place. However they killed that person, or people, they should die the same way. They need to know how it feels to drowned or be shot or however they killed that person. They don't deserve to live!

Yes, I think executions should remain in Texas, because if they just keep them in jail till they die, something could happen, like hurricane Katerina, and the bad people could escape and go kill more people. I believe that the executions should be a more rough, they should be killed the same way they killed the other person! Anybody who's brave enough to kill somebody don't need to live! The deserve to die!

Do I think you should execute prisoners. No to me if you execute someone you are no better than the killer. They should stay there for life. I believe you should not kill or execute anybody because just as I said before executing is just another way of killing.

Yes, Texas should keep executing prisoners. They should only execute prisoners that have murdered other people. I think they should have no doubt that the murderer is absolutely guilty. If one person on the jury votes that he is not guilty, then they should be put in prison for life.

Yes, I think executions should remain in Texas. If someone killed another person and they didn't get killed themselves that isn't really fair. Do you think that is fair? That murderer should feel the pain that person felt when he killed them. Besides, you know the saying "an eye for an eye." If we did kill them it would also be one less murderer around.

Yes, I think we should kill prisoners. If we executed every muderer that was guilty,they would atleast slow down. If the threat of dying was active, they would atleast think.

Yes, I think execution should keep going because if you dont kill them whats that telling every one else. this is what they would probably say,"They dont kill any one so I guess I can kill someone all they will do to me is put me in prison." ok bigdog21
