Just let me rule the world. I'm smart enough to get it right and have a big enough ego to think that I will get it right I will rule the world, but creator will have a place in my world government. Which will inevitably lead to the Rebellion of 2020, when the mutinous forces led by Creator usurp your throne and banish you to Botswana.

However, from a small prison in a remote village in the teeming Botswana wilderness, you will rise a figurative Phoenix from the ashes of captivity and squelch the machinations of the treacherous ruling elite once again taking your rightful place as king.

You can't be a creator and a ruler both. Leave something for the rest of us. I've left something for the rest of you. A place as my worshippers and messengers @k4tz: As I've stated in my first post. Studies have shown that the death penalty is both more costly and less practical then imprisonment. Thus the death penalty will not be an instituted practice. The millions of dollars of state money that go to the process of a single execution is better used elsewhere.

9 mm to the base of the skull is a pretty cost effective way to institute the death penalty (to people who deserve it, anyways).
Paying for criminals to live the rest of their lives with food, electricity, running water, employee wages, etc. is a pretty costly thing as well.

The bullet is cheap the legislation and trial process leading to a fair delivering of a death sentence is not. Including the incarceration time before sentencing are unilaterally proven to be more costly then lifetime imprisonment and not more effective in stopping violent crimes. In fact states and nations with the death penalty have higher violent crime rates then those without Bottom line, the death sentence is more costly and wasteful then lifetime imprisonment.

Dude you run the world. Fuck al that shit. Get someone to read what he's done. And under your law says he gets shot in the head or doesn't. Take about 20 minutes. Just need to pay for the judge, the gun and bullet.

Just need to pay for the judge, the gun and bullet. As an enlightened divine ruler of the world. I support proper and just legislature and trial. None will be sentenced for crimes without proper investigation and examination of the nature of the crime and proving of their culpability. This means that no it won't take 20 minutes. I will cost time and resources.

Of course the trial process is extremely expensive and that is the fundamental problem. For cases as simple as someone killing another person in cold blood (not making things more difficult as in defending themselves or something), in a public place with witnesses, that should be a swift process. It's not as effective because they don't do it enough or fast enough I'd like to hear some examples, but most likely it is mincing stats. States with the death penalty which happen to have higher violent crime rates also probably have a higher population. Unless, by rates you mean, per capita. Don't lie to me now

If you're an "enlightened divine ruler" shouldn't you already know if they deserve death or not. 8)

It's not as effective because they don't do it enough or fast enough Every person has a right to fair trial. What needs to be changed is the whole detail of legal procedure to avoid miscarriages of justice when lawyers abuse legal loopholes and allow criminals to go free or get reduced sentences. None of that in my world. These incarcerated criminals can still be useful. They are ready sources of blood and organ donations. They can be put to work on producing goods and work for the state. We have the means to control them and keep them from doing harm. The reason the system fails is sloth and cheapness on the part of governments. I'd like to hear some examples, but most likely it is mincing stats. States with the death penalty which happen to have higher violent crime rates also probably have a higher population. Unless, by rates you mean, per capita. Don't lie to me now The highest murder rate per capita in the U.S is Louisiana whom has a standing death penalty for capital crimes at 8.8 in 2008. Followed by Maryland also with a standing death penalty with a similar rate www-958.ibm.com/software/data/cognos/manyeyes/visualizations/murder-rate-per-capita-by-us-stateTrends similar equate ac cross the board in U.S and other countries: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Death_penalty_statutes_in_the_United_States-2011-10-03.svgen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_per_countryen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_capital_punishment_by_nationTherefore there is nothing to gain from a states point of view in the Death penalty, irregardless of moral questioning.
