An eye for an eye, is the Death Penalty blind?

An eye for an eye, is that right?

There are many excellent arguments for it to exist yet there are just as many arguments for it not to. Many of the arguments either way have different sociological reasoning pertaining to specific countries. Strip all of that away for the death penalty is black and white. One is either in for it, or against it. Just like how one is either pregnant or not pregnant, dead or not dead. There is no in-between. If you say you are against it but would be for it when it comes to convicted serial baby killers, that means you are FOR it. That also means that if you say that you are NOT for it, you have to mean it when it's regarding a smiling psychopath who left no one with similarities to your DNA alive and every other person you care for broken.

The place where I come from 'is believed to have the world’s highest per capital execution rate, relative to its population' as stated in a 2004 Amnesty International report.

People get executed. I grew up with that notion. They tie a noose around your neck and look at a chart to figure out how to snap your neck instead of slowly strangling you to death. It was a fact of life. It was expected, it was the norm and it was the law. Yes, ever since I could form a rational thought I felt it was harsh and I did think that maybe case by case judging would make it less horrible. Yet I've never committed to that line of thought. Because it's a slippery slope. One is either in for it, or against it. There is no in-between.

I stand by Amnesty International - oppose the death penalty worldwide in all cases without exception.
