Hi Jim? You're an idiot. Texas has the death penalty and yet thousands of rapes and murders are commited every year. Guess it's not really scaring people, 'cos guess what -- criminals need help in their lives, not to be arbirtrarily murdererd by the state. And the death penalty is not only a poor deterant: it fulfills no purpose but revenge, which is a terrible thing to base ANY justice system on. Here's a plan for you: read up on criminology and humanism and come back and talk to me when you're no longer a reactionary twat.
