Modern science has increased the amount of time that people have to behave like primitive monkeys that they are. If we are part of evolution, and if history has taught
us anything - we should then at least acknowledge our misgivings and go back to the jungle.
To hell with neptune! they'll be selling cola and listenig to Britney THERE too?
What an achievement...
Al Bundy in Space!
Huzzah!
Nothin' new under the Sun.

Al Bundy would be jealous. Just this once.

This is communication ?
A bunch of stupid women with money who can't conversate in any fashion I care to listen to. But I did, and Man am I sorry.
Where is Al Bundy when you need him.

Reminds me of Al Bundy's dreams.

It's a furry Al Bundy.

Okay you need to explain how in cases like the BTK killer, Unabomber, God Sniper, Oklahoma City Bombing, Zodiac killer, Ted Bundy and Charles Mason there is a possible margin for error.

It's easy to take the utopian view and say that capital punishment should be abolished, but clearly the rule and enforcement of law keeps society in check. With rising population, comes rising prison populations, because of rising income inequality and differences in economic opportunities. You can't simply dictate change, see Iraq. Radicalism towards such ideas suffers from this, the belief of a higher morale stance without relation to the real world. Crime and capital punishment arose from social problems, they should be thus treated as such.

I think there are far more pressing concerns then abolishing the death penalty, oh like assuring economic equality?

Let the rest of the World develop to the levels the first world possesses and the same change in rational will take place.

Am for the death penalty under the right investigative conditions.

You can't argue with me that people like Charles Manson, Ted Bundy or others deserve a free ride on society for whatever ethical reason.

Most of the countries you mentioned have it because of despotism and corrupt goverment. In America it's a question of state reform, and it's not the same everywhere, Texas is probably the highest.

But really is it shocking that it exists in countries like Uzbekistan or China where political enemies can just vanish overnight?

You've gotta be Aljoking. I'd rather watch algae or Al Bundy.
