Standards of decency change. Most civilized countries recognize that state sponsored killings are inhumane. We are now in the same category as countries like Iran, Iraq and third world countries in our thinking.
As for your second argument...it doesn't even warrant a response. That reasoning has been rejected time and again and is now only used by the desperate right-wing who have no other argument.
Ever follow the Constitutional scholars who write on arguments against gay marriage? Let me give you a clue...they have better arguments than that one. :2wave:
lame and I would argue that life in USP (SuperMax) Florence is far more cruel than the needle. BTW I am not in fan of the death penalty but it has nothing to do with "cruelty". 50 years in solitary is far worse punishment. The problem is that mistakes are made and the DP cannot be reversed.
that something is rejected doesn't mean that the reasons make sense. Gays are treated exactly the same as straights in terms of the objective application of the law. You are not nearly educated enough in the law to give me a clue.
