Well if we have those modern methods, then that just means we are even more sure that a convicted person is guilty. Also, it's a fallacy to claim that a civilization is only civilized if they abolish capital punishment. What's the proof for that? This stupid idea is what lead to islamic terrorists stabbing people and getting away with 6 months. But I agree with setting them on fire!

Well, I think the fact that there’s even an impeachment fiasco to laugh about is clear evidence that the system is flawed. Your assumption is that the system is perfect, whereas we know it isn’t. I don’t know anyone in prison, but I’m sure there are a few that are at least wrongly convicted and a system where death was dolled out without due diligence is a scary system to be a part of.

This is also a problem way of thinking.

"The system is flawed, so we shouldn't rid ourselves of child molesters" is why we have too many child molesters.

Capitol punishment needs to exist, it needs to be enforced, flawed or not. The very knowledge that it exists actively prevents crime.

We are having some fun with saying stuff that would wad the panties of reddit admins...only if seen in TD, though

Other subs can talk all they want about feeding the Trump family into an industrial wood chipper on Christmas Eve.

Agreed. Look at what the Democrats have done with the impeachment process, and imagine some poor schmo picked up by the police because everybody's got their hair on fire over a real crime.....
