Is that because New Zealanders have no morals or because New Zealanders are all hippies? If it's the second one then thats a pretty awesome stereotype.

Anyway, economically it costs a lot more to execute somebody in the USA than to support them for the rest of their natural life - that much is simply not arguable under the current system.

"Once a killer always a killer" is a fallicy and something that you made up with no scientific evidence, the only statistic I can find for the united states is that 1.2% of people convicted of homicide re-offend within three years of release - that is a fairly small number and certainly doesn't support your theory.

I do not believe that anybody or any organization has the right to take a human life unless it is in clear self defence, defence of another or defence of your country.

I was saying that it's not your tax money funding the lives our killers.

 

As I already pointed out it is cheaper to imprison a person for life than to execute them in the USA. Anyway I don't support the death penalty in any case, not just this one. I don't see how where I live effects the validity of my stance on capital punishment.
