You're right, I do support the death penalty in SOME cases. I would be 100% for it if the capital punishment system was completely error free, that no innocent person who ever got convicted of a capital crime was put to death, unfortunately it's not. Therefore I can not honestly say that I support it COMPLETELY.
What's even more interesting is that many people who are pro abortion are against the death penalthy, just like many who are pro life are for the death penalty. Strange.

I don't find it as that strange because a lot of pro-choice people disagree with pro-life people as to when life actually begins. Many pro-life people that I've encountered feel that life begins at conception. Therefore, an abortion=murder.
Myself, being pro-choice, do not believe that life begins at conception so I don't view abortion as murder. I view the death penalty as murder because a life is being taken. (My view on life, not yours.)
Yet, you support a method of death, such as the death penatly in "some cases" even when the system "is not error free." That's flawed to me, and I would never suppprt something that has the potential to take the life of an innocent person.
But that's only my view and I don't expect you to feel the same way, nor would I go as far as to feel that it be necessary for you to feel this way, being forced to by law or otherwise. Which is pretty much the entire point of the thread and one that RC has hit home a few times...
