I assume you are also more concerned about auto deaths than terrorism
He should likewise be way more interested in auto accidents than preventing gay marriage.

Sure, let's talk about it. What would you like to say?
By the way, before you post anything, please read Quadraphonics' post above. He used lots and lots of words, but I think it was a good, interesting post. Please, .....take time to read it.
Baron Max
Yes, and I disagree with him(Baron Max).
Perhaps when the Baron (or yourself, if you feel so inclined) present a vastly more compelling case in favour of the death penalty, then I will take the time and effort to present the opposite case.
..., and it's lazy for you to let someone else explain your position for you Max.
And as I told James above, I don't have to present anything ...the state and society has taken care of that for me. People are being executed all day, every day, all over the world. So, see, I don't have to do anything.
Baron Max
Yes you do.
"Between 1973 and 1995, 67% of capital convictions in the United States were eventually overturned, mainly on procedural grounds...
I find those numbers rather shocking.
I'm glad Baron Max has you to help clarify his arguments.
I don't believe I have commented on my level of concern over the road toll.
Perhaps this would make a good topic for a new thread... if you or Max are interested.
Yes, and I disagree with him.
Why should I do all the work?

Well, face it, James, no one needs to present a case FOR the death penalty because society has already done that ...as you're probably aware. People are being executed all over the world every day.
I'm not [interested in debating the road toll].

Ah, so the level of discourse here is determined using a lowest-common-denominator system.
The fact that some people act immorally doesn't justify the immoral acts themselves.
Well, at least we can be thankful that you're here to raise the tone!
Except when you're not interested, of course.
See? It has little or nothing to do with guilt or innocence ...only legal bullshit that may or may not have been true. Yet you are "assuming" that all of those convicted were innocent ....which is patently false.
And clearly they aren't all guilty either.
The 'legal bullshit' not being a good reason to execute people.
Executing people, if we do it at all, should be everything to do with guilt or innocence Max.
Yes, they are guilty. Guilt or innocence is determined by the courts. We are, you know, a nation of laws. As such, guilt is set/determined by legal proceedings.
Do you want to get rid of all laws and courts?
I hate to start up another discussion like this but honestly, What is wrong with the death penalty? Sure you have the chance of catching some innocent but I say Two strikes rule, you get convicted of murder once and you get the normal sentence, if you ever get convicted again, bang, death penalty.
Argue.
