fine ...
You have death penalty ???
You can answer yes, because you are one of 6 countries ( of the whole world ) that have that cruel punishment :
* 1. China (at least 1,010 but sources suggest the real tally is between 7,500 and 8,000)[11]
* 2.
Iran (177)
* 3. Pakistan (82)
* 4.
Iraq (at least 65)
* 5. Sudan (at least 65)
* 6.
United States (53)
That is state sponsored, right ....
We think it is sick ( aside from all the errors commited ) ... But the USA is YOUR country, so you do as you wish IN your country. The day YOU are fed up, YOU will revolt.
On gays, we have gay weddings, equal rights, etc ... You don't. So you don't kill them, but you deny any equal rights as other citizens...
But again, it is YOUR Country ....
AS for the lynching, the point was that 50 years in the history of the world is not even as big as a drop in the ocean.. Iran, and the others, will change and evolve with time.
