I do find it kind of interesting just from a sociological examination standpoint, however, how the United States is the only country in the First World in which the death penalty is still in use.
Japan and South Korea are hardly developing countries.

Okay, western First World, sue me.

Old stuff, and Gabu's gone now, but most things that make America different from the rest of the West can be traced back to the frontier mentality.

First time I've read this thread.  I love how the lefties tried to bash libertarianism and got their ass kicked.  Great job (as always) Dibble.

"The lefties"?

Your blanket terms are always amusing.

No I do not and I'm very proud of my country's record regarding this issue (1 execution in 60 years, and he was a Nazi war criminal).
I am conservative but it is my religious and moral views that don't allow me to support such a punishment and the crime is not relevant since the question is not whether he deserves to be beheaded (many people do) but whether we are allowed and capable of making the decision to take someone's life.
I believe the answer is-no, plus I don't believe it deters future offenders.
