I would never suggest that you would support the actions of the SS at Oradour. My point was that your disapproval of the death penalty seems to lie at odds with the history of your country’s recent past. Especially that you have now told us you grew up near there. Would you really be able to find it in your heart to be lenient to those of the SS (Liebstandarte or Das Reich?) who destroyed Oradour and its inhabitants in 1944?

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I don’t want to restart a death penalty debate , but if you ask me well: I have had along my life a long thinking about this topic. My country abolished the death penalty in 1981 and I have lived in a country with and without.

I just think the death penalty is unuseful. Look at the USA: the state who executes the most (Texas) is the state where the crime ratio is the highest.

My opinion is that death penalty is babaric and a civilized country can’t use it.However we have to have very painful and unlimited jail sentences.
