> So the majority of citizens live in countries that have the death penalty and actively use it. The list of countries that have abolished it includes many small nations with low population numbers. It isn't fair that you use that number to support your stance on the death penalty, because those low-population states get extra representation in the results.
Except that GP said most governments. If schneidafunk wanted to make this into a popularity contest rather than (by accident?) presenting a verifiable statement (which just so happens to be very false) perhaps they should have said so, rather than implying that most countries in the world would resort to worse barbarism than is currently practised in the USA.
It seems the USA like to pretend they are somehow better than the rest of the world. It would be nice to see them hold themselves to standards that are equal or higher than the rest of the world.
