This is old news but according to www.stopchildexecutions.com there are so many young people on death row even a girl that claims she had nothing to do with it.. its sad that we allow countries like that to continue executing children. People get sentenced to death for things like drugs or simply being gay.. we're just lucky that we live in countries where we don't have to fear about speaking our mind but isn't it our duty to help the poor people stuck in countries where they constantly have to fear for their lives?
Are you aware that USA is one of the few countries that executes the underage children? http://www.amnesty.org.uk/news_details.asp?NewsID=14732 I am against death sentence and all executions but it is interesting that the same Americans who are concerned with executions in Iran, usually support the executions in USA.
I'm not. Apparently you are not either. Perhaps one should take their own advice at the selective outrage of "old news." http://news.amnesty.org/index/ENGAMR510472005 There is a huge difference between teens that commit murderous crimes. That's why they are called "teens" and not children, but even more importantly, your attempt to turn the subject around (as usual) to the USA, has backfired, once again. That's odd. For all the "stoning" threads here over the past two + years, you've never said a bad word and always quickly try to change the subject to the US. Even if it's Christian girls who are beheaded. Silence.
Do you support executing "teens" if you think that they are guilty of a crime that you think that they deserve to die for? I am against all capital punishments, how about you?
It's not about what I think. It's about the law. You were incorrect. I corrected you. Stay on topic. Oddly enough, I've never seen you say a single bad word about those stoned to death or executed for the crime of being raped. As I recall, you also support murdering babies through abortion. Most people I've encountered that pretend to be against capital punishment (unless it's women being stoned to death for being raped) have no issue murdering babies. Twisted logic, I know.
So if the law in USA says let's kill teenagers then you support it but if the law in Iran says, let's kill teenagers then you are against it and it is barbaric. I have stated my opinion that I am against ALL CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS, how about you? Are you going to be dishonest as usual and avoid answering by posting your usual nonsense?
This link showed up on Digg and Reddit recently and got voted up quickly before being buried as inaccurate because she was freed a long time ago. Obviously these types of executions are wrong, and yes, they are "more wrong" than the U.S. executions of people who were teenagers when they murdered (they are usually into their 20's by the time they're executived). I value the life of an innocent rape victim over that of a underage murderer. That said, I'm not a fan of capital punishment in general.
