oops! you were the one who brought up the crime rates in other nations to compare to the US.
Why do you get to choose which nations the US can be compared to, and which ones are not relavant to this discussion?!

Ok--throw out my comments. It doesn't matter, since we're trying to focus on a purely domestic issue. We shouldn't need any international perspective.
This debate pertains to whether or not capital punishment is an effective deterrent inside the US.
I have so far not seen a single ounce of evidence from you that this is so (remember...you made this claim, therefore the burden of proof is on you). You continue to debate semantics about sidetracked conversations that have nothing to do with what we're talking about.
