That's goddamn right.

I mean yeah.

There's pretty much 0 argument for the death penalty being moral.

The only argument is whether it's a deterent or a cost saver and history has shown us that it's not.

I don't see how anyone can argue that killing people is a moral thing to do even if they think it's a nesscesary thing to do

yay

Good.

Most of the first world nations do not have the death penalty anymore. America and Japan are the only ones I think

But Japan doesn't kill nearly as many people as America.
