Re: This is why I\'m for the death penalty.
[ QUOTE ]
Why is the United States the only modern, developed, democratic country with regular use of the death penalty? [/ QUOTE ] Good question. I was hoping someone would address that question when I posted the facts. In case someone missed them, here they are again: - In 2006, 91 per cent of all known executions took place in China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Sudan and the USA. - Ten countries since 1990 are known to have executed 58 prisoners who were under 18 years old at the time of the crime – Afghanistan, China, Congo, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, USA and Yemen.

[/ QUOTE ] This is a good list to be on IMO; always nice be mentioned with Nigeria, Iran, Pakistan, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia on a survey of who uses a questionable punishment tactic.
