The death penalty really doesn't make sense to me...
1. It costs more than life in prison. (to the people bringing up appeals, when someone is sentenced to death their case goes through a mandatory "automatic appeal" to be as sure as possible that nobody missed anything).

2. The death penalty doesn't deter crime.

3. We do sometimes execute innocent people. This fact alone should be enough to stop the use of the death penalty because there is NO acceptable margin of error when it comes to execution.

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
