"Do you think that his comments match how most people in the world see America, or is he talking claptrap? "

His comments are personal and one-sided and do not even reflect what actually happens in "America", no matter what 'most people in the world' might think...and I don't think a complete survey has been done.

The death penalty is legal in some states, but only Texas makes regular use of it. A few others use it occasionally.

He stated "In some states it's month by month now that they are killing people who have a right to live, whatever they've done wrong," WHY do people have a right to live, no matter what they've done wrong?

Does he not see the blatant, embedded assumptions in that? Does he have any idea what "some states" are facing in crime rates and prison population? Does he offer a workable alternative?
