To wonder how the U.S can claim to be a civilised society whilst there is such a thing as Death Row?

There's probably been threads about this already...

But I just don't see how capital punishment can be an underpin of what the world regards as a civilised, modern society/country. What they did to Troy Davies yesterday can't be reversed. His supporters are still trying to prove his innocence and are confident that the gaping holes that they are finding in the case will prove it. So what will he get? A posthumous pardon? Yeah, great stuff that, America.

I thought this was quite good.

Sancti, where did you get the idea that Quakers don't dance or drink?? A couple of centuries ago that was the case...

(Fond recollections of doing lots of both with groups of Quakers :))

ZOMBIE THREAD ALERT

Oh, oops, didn't notice sorry
