Many countries have stopped doing it.

America is still one of the few, and one of the Top 5 countries who still do it, event though about 18 states have abolished it.
Capital punishment in America

However, this PALES in comparison to countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the reigning king...China.

    I'd be fully pro-death penalty IF they weren't ? up and sending innocent people to the death chamber.

    That fact has me on the fence.

    Some of these MFers deserve to die.

    death is permanent and humans are prone to error... so it should b off the table except in the most extreme cases.

    I don't think it makes sense to ? people who ? .

    "Killing is wrong, so we are going to ? you".

    I'd rather exile people or enslave them so they have to work for free for their community and make it a better place. Have criminals cleaning up dog ? in parks and cleaning high ways on chain gangs. Makes more sense than just killing them or making them break rocks for 25 years.

    Also there is a correlation between the death penalty and homicide rates. States without it have less homicide.

    It never really "blew up" in the U.S., but it did have some solid singles and was a decent album overall.
    I have no clue how it did worldwide to be honest. I guess its a classic down in Puerto Rico and other parts of Latin America?

    Wish it was Fat Joe that had the heart attack and not him.

    p.s.- Mods, please move this to the Reason where it belongs

    Are you implying that it's climate and not the death penalty affecting homicide rates?

    I don't have a problem with executing murderers, but I don't believe the benefit, which I'm not sure extends past providing closure to the victims' families, outweighs the risk of executing an innocent person. It's just not worth it to me.

    My point is that I think you're being a little picky-choosey like most Bible warriors.

    Pro death penalty.

    Actually I believe ? should be put to death same for pedophiles. If found guilty without a shadow of doubt then death it is. If you take a life knowingly on purpose death no rehab none of that ? ? .

    without a shadow of a doubt is rare. are there not instances where taking a life is "justified"?

    If all who were involved in a execution that was the result of a false conviction are executed in turn, then yeah.

    In that case hopefully the families have good lawyers. The system has gotten to soft by letting murderers and ? walk the streets. Giving ? three strikes nah ? that one strike ? is all you need. If you do wrong there's consequences with your actions. Especially when it comes to murder, ? or ? . How can a drug dealer get more time than a killler or a child ? walk the streets and first time felon get 15yrs for possession of ? or ? ? ? that ? if you murder someone you should be dealt with in the same fashion.

    lol. proof of this softness?

    You're*

    And I didn't say you were being picky I said you were being kinda picky-choosey meaning you're picking a scripture to substantiate your belief, and leaving out plenty others that would discredit it.
