I don't think even DU can make a dent in this... I thought it only had 13,000 votes... it has 130,000

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.
