Derailed thread

Proof please, let's not just bring these 'facts' to air without supporting evidence.

I haven't seen other people citing sources, but as you insist, I've tried to dig up the articles I was thinking of. Mostly they come from things I read in print editions of Christianity Today. Which, as regards issues of opinions and beliefs among Christians, seems reasonably reliable to me.

A bit dated here, but regarding declining support for capital punishment:

I'm trying to hunt for the info about opinions within Christian groups. Problem is it wasn't in an article about the death penalty, but was in a section of the print magazine where they cover, in brief, lots of odds and ends. So finding that might take me a while.

And regarding the appeals process... really, I don't think I need to cite sources on that. It's common knowledge. You can look that up for yourself very easily.

Actually, nah, sure, I'll look that one up for ya too. Here ya go:

Give me a few seconds to see if they actually list where they got their numbers rather than just producing them from nowhere.

Found this while I was looking at it. The cost of the death penalty is nothing compared to the War on Drugs.

You're going to harp on my for sources... then cite that?

:o

Though, yes, the war on drugs is much more expensive. Yet another reason it should end, besides, you know, the stupidity of trying to prevent people from doing something so easily concealable, or the moral issue of restricting peoples' private choices.

Of course, I still think all you damn kids need to quit smokin' weed and playin' your loud music and go get a job.

I didn't say it was unbiased or accurate. Just that I found it.
