Atheist and the Death penalty

[Wyrd of Gawd]

While it's true that every conceivable act known to man has been, is, or will be illegal somewhere in the US are people in other countries really better behaved than Americans are?  

The main problem in America seems to be that the nuts who run things have severe cases of the Moses complex.  They think that if they could only get another 100 million laws on the books that everything will be perfect.

America is virtually the only 1st-World country that still uses the death penalty, and our prison population vastly outstrips other developed nations (mostly because our legal system is fucking jacked; many of those people shouldn't be in jail even if they're guilty, let alone the innocents that were failed and/or fucked by the system).


Yeah, I'd honestly say that most Western nations are better behaved than America, and these are just a few of the myriad reasons.

OK, the anal retentives who write the laws are psychos.  The cops are thugs.  The prosecutors are scum.  The judges are crooks.  But in a lot of cases it's the dummies who live in your neighborhood that convict the defendants.  In the end it's the people who create and maintain the corrupt justice system because they seldom think for themselves.  They really like to see people suffer and are mostly incapable of showing any kind of mercy.  

If people want weed to be legal then they should simply stop finding weed users guilty.
