Why do people disagree with sweat shops. Somebody's gotta do the dirty work, you? It's the only way their economy will grow. Only problem is abusive managers.

Politics : The New Cancer?

I agree genghis. At least they have a job and can provide for themelves

indeed Genghis low paying work is better than no work at all.

Down with the establishment!

I believe the death penalty should be used more often for extremely severe crimes

Republicans - Abortion is wrong. Life starts at conception.

Republicans - Kill people. Death Penalty is legal, the only problem is we don't use it enough. Start more wars. Imperialism is legal, the only problem is we don't do it enough. Kill environment.

The double standard continues. If you believe in protecting life, protect all life.

We aren't against death, but we are against the murder of innocents. If someone is a murderer, they forfeit their right to life. Babies never raped or murdered someone; the people we want the death penalty used on did.

I don't think we should start more wars, but we should finish wars that are already in progress and affect us.

Imperialism doesn't mean instant death. Without caring enough to look up statistics and sources, I would guess the average lifespan of a colonial-era African is far higher than that of the modern African in proportion to the world average (since medicine has advanced and a direct comparison would be biased).

Although if possible the environment should be protected, I would rather help people by giving them manufacturing jobs than help plants.

Sorry I didn't mean imperialism...I really meant regime change/wars of democracy.

ah, ok.

The death penalty is a stupid way to get revenge.

1) The justice makes mistakes.
2) Killing a murderer doesn't reduce the crimerate in a significant way (it is proved).
3) Executions sometimes fail.
4) Not all murderers deserve to die.
5) Death penalty costs more then lifetime imprisonement.
6) Killing murderers has the sole purpose of revenge, and that is unnaceptable.
7) It is wrong for the state to kill people.

it isn't wrong for the state to kill someone.

Well it is ^
That would make us nothing more than animals.

No it doesn't. Animals would kill you without due process.

Which is exactly what you are imposing.

no it isn't. You have to be sentenced to death. A police officer can't just decide on the spot that you're guilty and kill you. This isn't judge dredd type shit.

The death sentence was immoral which is why it's not enforced by western nations.

"That would make us nothing more than animals."
Animals: The word "animal" comes from the Latin animalis, meaning having breath, having soul or living being.

morality is subjective and the dealth penalty is still used in western nations.

The only country in Europe to not abolish the Death penalty is Belarus as Latvia abolished it in 2012.

Common misconception^ Donetsk and North Cyprus and maybe Abkhazia and Luhansk (don't recall for sure) still have the death punishment. Kazakhstan holds the right to do so, but only in special circumstances (I don't recall precisely). I think death is a punishment that should be used in rare circumstances, f.e. is this person likely to get out of gaol, is he a threat to folk?

1) The justice makes mistakes.
2) Killing a murderer doesn't reduce the crimerate in a significant way (it is proved).
3) Executions sometimes fail.
4) Not all murderers deserve to die.
5) Death penalty costs more then lifetime imprisonement.
6) Killing murderers has the sole purpose of revenge, and that is unnaceptable.
7) It is wrong for the state to kill people.

1) That's why the death punishment should not be used lightly.
2) How do you mean? Why would it?
3) Gun does not fail.
4) That's subjective, what don't?
5) I strongly doubt this. You have to give food/water to these folk for years, not just months. A metal shell with a detachable tip and propellers inside costs more than (albeit bad) food for years?
6) First, subjective. Second, you can say imprisoning someone for any crime is "unacceptable revenge".
7) Totally subjective.
