The total number of Mexicans leaving this country is greater than the number coming in. Has been for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This says more about the US's stance on the death penalty than it does on homosexuality. If this were to prohibit countrys for giving the death penalty to christians you bet your sweet ass they would have voted diffrently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnishGypsy 921 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The U.S. consistently retaining (and actively utilizing) the death penalty is shameful and again places the nation on the wrong side of history. The vast majority of all nations worldwide (i.e., 103) have abolished the death penalty, and consider it a human rights violation. The US is one of 58 countries where it's still legal, and by far considered to be the most developed country with the continued legalization of the practice (there are only three other industrialized nations where it's still performed--Japan, Singapore and Taiwan--and none of them utilize it nearly as frequently as the U.S. does). Of the 58 countries where the death penalty is still legal, the US keeps company with the Middle East, India, China, North Korea and portions of Africa. The following graphic (courtesy of Wikipedia, but fact-checked) illustrates the legal status of the death penalty worldwide: Red: Death penalty legal and regularly in practice Orange: Abolitionist-in-practice (haven't executed anyone during the past decade/have policy regarding death penalty) Light green: Abolitionist except for under extreme circumstances (e.g. wartime) Dark Green: Abolitionist Casting human rights violations aside (although, they clearly never should be in a civilized nation), the death penalty has proven to be exponentially more expensive to the U.S. taxpayer than sentencing someone to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Further, its implementation/existence has no evidence of being a deterrent against crime. Overall, there is simply no scientific evidence, logical reasoning, nor moral reasoning in support of the death penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty interesting that we actually have a lot in common when it comes to death penalty with some of the countries we believe to be 1000's of years behind us... hm.

But all sorts of racist/discriminatory rethoric is pretty much non existent, politic divisions are minimal and noone cares about it unless its an election period, ive walked around the city with the craziest kind of outfits and hairstyle and noone even looks. Mexico has a lot to fix, but in many areas its a lot better than the US, and its getting even better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
