exactly. whatever happened to rising above something? i never wish the same on people who've done me wrong, and murder is no exception.Axver said:I've heard a few times that the US is the only Western country to still have the death penalty. I know Singapore, a "developed nation", also has the death penalty, but it's obviously not exactly European.
I basically see execution as an expression of vengeance and lowering yourself to the level of the criminals.
I certainly don't see anyone in Australia thinking "thank goodness we don't have capital punishment, now I can go on a murder spree I otherwise wouldn't do"!
