21. Most Christians in America still support the death penalty

Even if some of those killed are actually innocent. We are no better than the Muslims. We don't just kill in self-defense. We just play by a slightly different set of rules, as to what makes it OK to kill people.

When we finally realize that jailing and/or killing people is not the way to fix every problem in society, maybe we will be able to hold ourselves up as a shining example for the rest of the world. Other countries are much more advanced than we are.

Education and ending poverty is the key to advanced societies. We need to stop fighting wars and start investing in our youth's educations again.

The OP talks about DU as if they are not a part of it. I wonder why.
