This world is infested with 7 billion people. They're not precious snowflakes, they're utterly, completely, expendable.
Best lead by example and euthanise yourself; it would be awful to be outed as a hypocrite.
Of course I'm not sure what they think is evidence but I do not really care.
No, that's abundantly clear.
That is an extremely low rate if you ask me.
Your cherry picked figures aside, I wonder about how many innocent people executed would constitute an unacceptable rate to you.
So I don't buy the cruelty aspect and I think the execution is an extension of committing suicide.
Yeah totally. Execution is suicide in exactly the same way that vandalizing someone's car is punching yourself in the face. i.e. not at all, in any conceivable way.
I would honestly have more respect for pro-death penalty people if they just admitted they get a satisfying feeling from meting out violent vengeance. I might not agree, but I could understand. For them, it seems, the idea that you might kill the odd innocent person (such as, in all likelihood, Todd Cameron Willingham) is ludicrous - despite incompetence being a hallmark of our species, and despite the obvious bloodthirsty nature of prosecutors.
"It's more expensive than life imprisonment"
TBH, I fail to see how ending someone's life could be more expensive than feeding, clothing and caring for 20, 30, 40 years or even longer.
The legal costs are higher, it goes on for longer, DR inmates cost more to house than general population, among many other factors.
the other question is does it really matter? if they committed a crime* big enough to command death, does it really matter how?
If you are a neurotypical human you may have empathy, conscience, etc - for someone afflicted with these traits, it's patently obvious that it matters. Perhaps you are atypical in this respect.
Dear Anglo-saxon (anglo-americans): please realize that law and order exists not to make the next generation of criminals, thiefs, fraudsters, robbers, murderers,, etc. ever more cunning, by encouraging them to invent ever more weird ways of circumventing law enforcement and courts and win impunity.
You're wrong, and you're a grotesquely ugly freak.
Alex Jones and other conspiracy minded folk have always said there are pedophiles in positions of power throughout the world who cover for each other.
Alex and those other folks say a lot of things, they're immune to evidence. A stopped watch being occasionally right shouldn't raise eyebrows.
The big difference is that the Universe is bigger than government and it won't listen to it. Tech is another matter. All it takes is a "Safe Computing Act" and you'll have to surrender your computers for destruction and get a government-approved tablet in their place. It can happen. I wouldn't tease the dragon if I were you.
The prospect of this is not exactly keeping me up at night, on account of it being preposterous.
If God had not given us sticky tape, it would have been necessary to invent it.
