<p>As I mentioned previously, what can we do to alternate the current situation? It’s simplistic to state that something is incorrect, but how can attention and alterations be ensued from this?</p>
<p>Use a Communist Revolution to spread the wealth, thus eliminating the most common cause for crime: lack of money and a need for it.</p>
<p>^Use a Communist Revolution to destroy the wealth, therefore removing the motivation for the crime.</p>

<p>In many ways, I second this (whether (s)he was being serious or not).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You made a ridiculous statement about something that wasn’t even remotely hinted at. Sorry, ignorance was not the right word, but I would probably be banned if I had said what I wanted to say.</p>
<p>lol it would work. I don’t think it would be worth it though (yet ;| )</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Really? Been to Detroit lately? It’s definitely worth it. Unfortunately :(</p>
<p>lol nope. I think Maine’s ruralness acts as a shield</p>
<p>ABC: Anything But Communism, please.</p>
<p>Get rid of the death penalty and let the criminals rot in jail.</p>
<p>Getting crime down is a much different story…</p>
<p>a revolution won’t happen in the US for a while. As of right now, a lot of poor people (at least where I live) are more conservative.</p>
<p>My concern is the taxes though. How would the public react to that?
Would we really be saving money by eliminating the death penalty? (I honestly don’t know)</p>
<p>I personally don’t care if we save money…There are much more productive ways to do that.</p>
<p>For all the reasons I stated, I’ll pay the extra 5 cents to abolish it.</p>
<p>Well, there are poorer people who might care. I’m just wondering if we would be saving money. Do any of you know how much the injections cost?</p>
<p>Communism just doesn’t work. At all.</p>
<p>There’s a study somewhere that says lethal execution is more costly than life in prison. But it’s better to pay for something that’s right than vice versa. Right now I think we’re debating whether it’s right or not.</p>
<p>Eh…never could stand communism myself. It just sounds wrong, and it failed pretty miserably.</p>
<p>Well, I think that the majority of the public would need to agree on that. I should probably do more research on this. Thanks for the conversation!</p>
<p>We shouldn’t stand for (what I see as) moral/ethical failings and just pure stupidity because of money. And as people said, it sounds like it would be the same price, or saving it. I don’t think there are better ways to save money.</p>
<p>I admit it, I’m stubborn with this and fail to see how one could not want to abolish the death penalty, even though polls show most Americans disagree with me…</p>
<p>I think that if we were saving money more people would agree with the idea. I know killing people is wrong, but there is more involved in the process than that. That’s what alternates my perspective.</p>
<p>Life is more important than money. But I don’t think US’s money issue biggest issue really has to do with the death penalty.</p>
<p>I understand that, but that doesn’t seem to be the common opinion. What do you mean?</p>
