Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I am pro death penalty, and its not even a thing where I live. I've heard all the arguments against and I simply don't agree. I also don't consider it an ethical problem in regards to state sanctioned murder.

I am however in favour of painless executions and every effort should of course be made to ensure the event is as stress free as possible. I'm not a complete animal

The whole point of being in jail, is to learn of your mistakes and not do it again. If you die, you don't learn anything. The others do but that way of someone learning is quite cruel and not fitting in a democracy because fear is undemocratic.

Maybe we are not doing justice correctly... But do we even know if they do if we kill them?
