the death penalty
I personally don't believe in the death penalty so this blog will have a bias, but I'll do my best to cover both sides. Some countries that still have the death penalty are China, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, North Korea. i don't know about you but i don't want to be on a list with any of those countries, I want to be on a list with Sweden Sweden's on all the best lists.
Some arguments for the death penalty are it provides closer for the victim or the victims family. I personally don't think that this is entirely true for some people it might be but not for everyone. another argument it acts as a deterrent. Their is no evidence to back this argument up. One more argument for capital punishment is that it costs less to just kill them. just like the previous argument this is inaccurate it actually costs less to keep them in prison then it does to kill them. Some arguments against the death penalty are that it the prisoners family have to suffer sing their loved one killed by the state. but the best argument against it is on ProCon.org where it says:

Ultimately, the moral question surrounding capital punishment in America has less to do with whether those convicted of violent crime deserve to die than with whether state and federal governments deserve to kill those whom it has imprisoned. The legacy of racial apartheid, racial bias, and ethnic discrimination is unavoidably evident in the administration of capital punishment in America
as you can see by the writing above i have bias against the death penalty because i personally think that its barbaric and in humane. if we think we are the best species then why do we act so cruel to each other?
Your blog posts are getting much better, Cyrus. You are capitalizing a lot more, for instance, and deepening your insights. Thanks - it makes a much better read. Now that you've got some of that down, focus on trying to eliminate run on sentences.
