- A very intelligent and mature response on your part
- of course. What is your point? If
- it is to say that this is a stupid argument, then you miss my point. I
- would agree. I was just mentioning this because some people actually
- argue this issue with just this point (actually, I think that this does
- add weight to the fact that capital punishemnt should be used, but I
- would not consider it a primary argument). If your point was to argue
- whether or not this is true then you really should research before you
- post because it absolutely is.
