Whose this "we" -- I've been anti death penalty since before I could vote because I have never been able to forget.

I would go so far as to say not only is the death penalty anti American, any one who wants the death penalty to remains needs to be added to a pool from which some is randomly executed; affirming their resolve and devotion.

It's really weird how some people can take any kind of statement, no matter how well meant, and make it about themselves. You aren't even the first.

It's really weird how people use sloppy language in their statement and then are upset about it.

Then they ignore the rest of the comment because they are too triggered to do otherwise. Then end the comment by making about exactly what they claimed the first one wasn't about.

People aren't computers. The statement was general, not about the death penalty. You completely failed and wanted to make it about yourself and have an argument.

That's completely silly. But you know, whatever you say, this is crazy. Have a nice day, hope you relax and take it easy. Bye.

What the fuck are you talking about?

The post is about the death penalty and you related mentioned how "we" forgot how barbaric governments are.

I mentioned I've never forgotten and therefore not part of that "we" and brought it back to the death penalty, you know, the actual topic of this thread.

Talk about silly, crazy and making things about yourself. The only explanation for all this is that "we" was referencing all the voices in your head.
