The Necessity of the Execution of Criminals?

First of, why would you try to distort my argument by comparing China to North Korea? I said nothing about North Korea. China =/= North Korea.

Second did you even read what I wrote? I clearly pointed out that China the only crime that is rampant is political corruption. Crimes rates like murder, kidnapping, rape, etc is much lower in China than in other countries.

I also stated that drug trafficking and police corruption are major issues in Mexico and Latin countries. Those two issues ended up driving crimes like murder and rape upward.

And yes, society does discriminate against those who are wrongfully convicted, even if they are proven to be innocent. Do you really think it is easy for them to find a job? Or that people around them won't give them weird look? The moment society finds out you were convicted is the moment that people will start treating you differently.

Do you even know the definition of totalitarian government? Here is the definition:


from: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/learner/totalitarian

In simple English, it means government has so much power that it can tell you how to live, what school you go to, what job you are going to take, who to marry, etc. Basically people lived as being told by the government.

China had shifted away from being a totalitarian states since Deng Xiaoping took over and implemented social and economical reforms. That was close to 60 years ago.

China in modern definition is an authoritarian state. An authoritarian state is an one-party government in which it has no complete control over social and economical aspect. Some economical controls are retained, like currency exchange rate, but most are privatized. In authoritarian government, only what is banned is prohibited; you are free to do as you wish as long as government does not prohibit it.

China is nothing alike compared to North Korea. Please do some study on political science before you embarrass yourself.



I agree that getting death penalty reinstated in Mexico will be a challenge (too many factors involved).



You clearly don't understand reality. Go ahead and do some research on those who were proven to be wrongfully convicted. None will tell you that society welcomed them back. Just how many people do you think will sit down and do some research to see if that person was wrongfully convicted or not? Fact is as soon as people around you heard you were jailed in the past people are bound to act differently toward you.

I'm appalled people are saying that because wrongful conviction happens death penalty should be dropped. No I'm not saying it is better to let they die or rot in prison because the system failed them. I'm saying doing away death penalty does absolutely nothing to wrongful conviction. Using wrongful conviction to argue against death penalty is a fallacy.



I don't know who drilled the idea of China is treating its citizens like animal into your head but that is something only immature person would say. Fact is crime rate in China is low. Singapore also has low crime rates, and crimes like drug trafficking, kidnapping, and rape are punishable by death over there.

Personally against the death penalty, especially considering that harsher punitive actions don't actually amount to less crime being done. Nevertheless, it's very easy to understand that if there was an event that involved/affected someone personally, it would be unreasonable to blame them for wanting those harsher punishments.

Better results would be achieved by focusing on reintegration/rehabilitation I feel.
