It should be a very rarely used option for the most heinous crimes.

Too many mistakes, should be rare when the evidence is overwhelming and the crime extremely heinous.

Anti death penalty except for extremely rare cases like nazi war criminals or genocide. It's not just prone to mistakes and inhumane, but also ineffective.

I joke around on this site a lot, but this answer is serious - anti death penalty in every single case, no exceptions

Easily anti-death penalty. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I am also anti-life in prison without parole. I think all life sentences should have at the very least the right to go out under parole after a certain amount of time, say, 30-40 years.

Disagree on this. Someone who murdered or raped another person should not ever, ever see the light of freedom again. Taking another's life on purpose, or mentally tearing them apart with the heinous crime of rape, should be punished by the strongest means. If it's a mistake, the prisoner would be released (and should be heavily compensated).

Well states already have the right to choose regarding the death penalty.

Anti death penalty, except in very extreme cases (like a terrorist or someone who has committed genocide) where they are literally "too dangerous to be kept alive."

Started out anti becomes I thought the state had no right to kill, turned pro because I believed it to be moral to punish murderers in this manner, have recently turned back to anti because I don't trust the system after so many on death row have been found innocent. Even a 0.01% chance an innocent man is executed is too much.

Anti-death penalty, but it is very tempting to make exceptions for people like Dick Cheney and other powerful figures.

I'm not sure. It's not an issue i care about. There is a big argument against death penalty and that is: "what if you have the wrong guy?", so while emotionally i would be more inclined to support the death penalty, reason and logic supports the side of the anti-death penalty more. So, i'd say, anti-death penalty, but rape and intentional murder should be sentenced by life long prison sentences, while crimes that cause victims should be sentenced much tougher than it's done currently. I think drug crimes should not be treated as a crime though, but rather as a health issue (while soft drugs should be legalized).

Anti-death penalty except for cases I deem worthy of the death penalty on a total case by case basis of how awful I think the person committing the crime is ... so pro-death penalty.
