Ahhhh, but it's 'none of our business' what he thinks. And he has his own 'agenda'. So I doubt we'll get an answer.......
And to make it more of a deterrent, I think you need to make it more public. Speak about it in public. Spread the word that justice has been served and that if you go on to murder people then the same fate will be meted out to you. Teach it in schools. (Of course, with women and liberals everywhere in public life, fat chance of that ever happening.)
By the way zzz I do not think anyone is arguing the U.S. is currently a Christian nation. So your crack on that subject is a more "accepted anti Christian hate speech. Perhaps you should concern yourself with that subject. Regarding racism against gangs. That has to be a slip. I think all property owning, life loving people have an intolerance of violent gangs of any race. Regarding being pro death penalty. A question I posed to myself? Would you be willing to carry out the sentence personally. Would you be able to flip the switch? Would you be able to argue for the death sentence before a jury in the penalty phase of a trial.
Anti Christian hate speech? When was the last time you were actually persecuted for being a Christian? Polling data from the 2001 ARIS study, described below, indicate that: 81% of American adults identify themselves with a specific religion: 76.5% (159 million) of Americans identify themselves as Christian. This is a major slide from 86.2% in 1990. Identification with Christianity has suffered a loss of 9.7 percentage points in 11 years -- about 0.9 percentage points per year. This decline is identical to that observed in Canada between 1981 and 2001. If this trend continues, then by about the year 2042, non-Christians will outnumber the Christians in the U.S. 52% of Americans identified themselves as Protestant. 24.5% are Roman Catholic.
Reminds me of that secret KKK meeting in the woods in "O Brother, Where Art Thou" boy that was funny eh ZZzz?
Has the murder rate in the US gone down since the death penalty was reinstated in the 1970s? Not that I know of. A few years ago, the governor of Illinois suspended the death penalty entirely after finding the state in the process of executing innocents. Chicago has been breaking records for LOW murder rates the last couple of years. Deterrent, doubtful. Fuel on the flames, likely. As has been stated, the US is among the most violent nations on Earth. Why should this not be so? We have been whipping ourselves into frenzies of fear and hatred of dangerous others plus warring on them pretty solidly since WW2. Its no surprise that we kill each other frequently and then try to quench our fear, pain and anger with more killing. Sick cycle
lmao- 1-Illinois suspends the death penalty 2-Chicago now has record low murder rates So I guess any and all other factors involved don't exist? lmao.....
