Yet you can claim that there's "no evidence showing a decrease in violent crime rates in any state that has recently adopted the death penalty"?

Give me a break, Shmokes.
If you're going to give Paige a bad time about switching arguments in the middle, don't do the same yourself.

The difference in crime rate drops between death penalty states and non is 37.8% for death penalty states, and 55.24% for non.
That is HIGHLY attributable to the fact that the states without the death penalty didn't HAVE problems to begin with.

Interpret the data however you see fit, but at least USE the data to back up your claims.
You accuse me of the following:
"Your method of presentation is a common one known supressing evidence."
Hold yourself to the same standard please.

Unsubstantiated claims like "there's no evidence", when there IS evidence, are just plain deceitful.

Oh my lord, this is good stuff.   NBA, we were discussing the death penalty's usefulness as a deterrent.  I'm not changing my argument.  I didn't just randomly make that assertion because it was such an interesting factiod that it bared mentioning despite it having nothing to do with anything.  It was clear to anyone reading the thread, including yourself, that I was saying that no states had a reduction in crime as a result of recently implementing the death penalty. 

By the way....what's the source for those percentages?
