> (The US seems upset about Singapore's death penalty, but we murder a lot more criminals than they do...)

We may execute more people, but there's nothing like the anecdotes from Singapore to make you feel like you're just one unlucky afternoon from a death sentence. When you're only this far away from being executed at all times, no matter how squeaky clean you live your life it's easy to get a little nervous.

I'm personally not necessarily against the death sentence, but I definitely appreciate that it is difficult to apply here in the US.
