12. Just like Jesus would do...
Don't get me wrong, but aren't Christians suppose to FORGIVE in ALL circumstances? - apparently forgiveness only works after their dead.

5. Done - still at 26% - This is amazing to me how our culture
has changed - there used to be much more support in opposition ! What the hell happened? Oh, yes, the Christian coaltion and Republicans convinced everyone it is ok to murder.

6. I'd love to see how Americans feel about bullfights
I'd bet this US poll would register just the opposite.

The US has no value for human life. It's a "dog eat dog" culture. SOOO glad I haven't lived there in nearly two decades, nor rarely visited, happily.

It's a sick culture.

18. Well animals are important but people?
We seem to love to kill things in this country. Anything is free for the kill as far as I see. Shame but I really do not know what one can do about it.

19. That's even more troubling
Not only does that poll say that 74% support the Death Penalty, it says they support it when someone has 'changed' behind bars.
