POPSHalf America would be on Death Row.
If it were up to the R party, half of Amer. would be on death row. I exaggerate but you have to ask...what’s wrong with these people? They can't see society for the people. Sick acts do occur that we’d like to cure. But with brains, one size doesn’t fit all. Many take a beating before maturity, so we wind up with depraved sins by sickos. If laws put all sickos to death there would have to be many death rows. Killing doesn’t stop such acts and sets an example that murder is an answer. Life without parole is cost effective. It takes alota $$ before a slaying occurs, life sentences are cheaper. (to those who tout PRISONS COST US TAXPAYERS MUCH MOOLAH, KILL THE BUMS!) Capital punishment is a fact in this brutal society and the judges must decide what it's slated for. It should only be for homicide. If it starts to pertain to other crimes, we slide backwards and kids will hang for stealing apples. Their legs must be weighted cause small bodies are too light to choke a life away. :-(

POPS Stop Child Executions In Iran:::Sign The Petition
The usual method of execution is hanging, but Iranian law also opens for stoning as punishment for adultery and incest. In 2002 the head of the judiciary announced a moratorium on stoning. Iranian judges have later imposed sentences of stoning, but these are usually overturned higher up in the court system.

By signing them, Iran has undertaken not to execute anyone for an offense committed when they were under the age of 18. These treaties also prohibit the use of torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading punishments Capital offenses in Iran include murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy, blasphemy, serious drug t

POPSPro-life, Pro-Death Penalty When you are a liberal, the concept of "innocence" isn't in your capacity, nor the related concepts of "guilt", "debt", etc. No, it is all "random acts that nobody is responsible for, so as long as the state isn't doing the killing "judgmentally", then taking of a life is likely something that "just happens" before birth, after birth--whatever. It does amaze me how quickly people go the Nietzsche route and get "beyond good and evil". At least the author of this particular article is more consistent than most, he is willing to see BOTH the innocent and the guilty die, and just has a hard time understanding how someone could find a distinction between the innocent and the corrupt.
