Why we should admire America
So sentimental that the thought of Mom's home baked apple pie brings a tear to their eye, yet able to put a man in a gas chamber without it causing the slightest conflict in their sensibility. This is the stuff that builds a truly great nation.

What a busy night you've had.
USA no longer uses gas chamber.
I"ll bring you up to date shall I.
Arizona ‘refurbishes’ its gas chamber to prepare for executions, documents reveal
The corrections department has spent more than $2,000 on ingredients to make cyanide gas, the same used in Auschwitz
I often wonder how powerful my arguments would be if I could bother to do research.
It always amazes me that people don't know just what does go in their own country to be honest. If you read up about the death penalty in the States it's not just Arizona either.
One of the reasons why there are so many on death row over there is because they cannot decide which method to use.
Well at least we agree that the death penalty should be abolished.
In the U.K we abolished it in 1965 although some murderers of late don't deserve to breathe fresh air ever again but that's another subject.

Hanging was always considered a quick and painless way to execute someone which was as you know the British method.
I agree there are far too many "choices" in the U.S. and not all that are totally successful. In modern society I find the death penalty totally abhorrent to be honest. No different than shooting a conscientious objector for refusing to fight during the war.
Whorbottle SHOULD WE CRY when a convicted murderer is executed?
As for crying over the death of a murderer, that's the wrong question. Why do you execute a murderer? Isn't it because to kill another human being in cold blood is the ultimate crime; the greatest wrong that can be commited? Isn't that why it is considered fitting that a murderer should receive the ultimate punishment?
How can a society claim to be civilised when it behaves in the same way as the people it condemns as the worst examples of humanity? It isn't about what the murderer deserves, it's about the rest of us being better than him; not becoming like him.
there is Guantanamo Bay
.
I would not. Why? It is job of Justice Department
I hear you. That's why when it comes to Justice, someone needs to do it. And do it professionally.
It will save other peoples lives including children
I agree with your points regards repeated crimes, and yes prisons are overcrowded and full of many undesirables. The World is full of some very "sick" people sadly.
My feelings regards the death penalty ? It's a personal opinion and just that ,and one that I can't change being a pacifist. It's equivalent to asking the executioner to do what the perpetrator has done .
Girl is dead, her mother gone mad, father left Ruins. And he will be free.
Thank you !
Time for a cup of tea!
No sugar in mine please.
