(Even) Turkey abolishes the death penalty!

[Asher]

I combine the attitude of an American with the alcohol tolerance of a Canadian.

There's no need to be jealous of that, paiktis, I'm sure many American women love bears like Greek men.

Jesus Mark, what have you been drinking?!

What did the US take from Russia? From China? From Bosnia?!

The US became a world superpower by offering immigrants freedom they sought, by developing technology that allowed it to move ahead from most of the world, and by building a massive modern military.

It has absolutely nothing to do with social politics such as the death penalty.

Actually, yes...

It does have to do with freedom, except the idea behind the death penalty is what occurs when you lose your freedom in the first place.

Since most Americans don't commit crimes warranting the death penalty, most Americans don't feel it infringes on their freedoms.

You'd have a perfectly valid point if it was legal for the US Government to randomly kill civilians on a regular basis, though.

It's kinda funny that we have a Canadian and two Greeks arguing over the death penalty in the US and Turkey........

[Bereta_Eder]

I'm not arguing about the death penalty I just troll asher.

there's no doubt you're a bunch of uncivilized gun tottin' state killer maniacs. the EU says so

[MarkG]

Actually, yes...

even if you take my sentence literally, there is a myth about chinese immigrants in the US

Since most Americans don't commit crimes warranting the death penalty, most Americans don't feel it infringes on their freedoms.

ah yes, the "it wont happen on me" syndrome. do you feel that this is something americans should be proud of?

As a Texan I am deeply offended by the actions taken by Turkey.

We're not talking about pride or anything like that.

This discussion is about how you feel the need to troll Americans about every little issue, even when it has nothing to do with them.

You seem to think Americans would care (or should care) what other people in the world are doing. Historically this is not the case, and it's certainly not the case now. I don't see anyone from America saying "Wow, Turkey has done this. Turkey is always right. We shall do this to. Who cares Turkey only did it to get into the EU? Hey, maybe WE should get into the EU! Turkey did it!".

No myth. They built railroads. If it wasn't for them, we'd have to kill off another nationality after the Civil War.
