Since 1990 Amnesty International has documented executions of child offenders in seven countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the USA and Yemen. At least two of these countries, Pakistan and Yemen, have since changed their laws to exclude the practice. The country which has carried out the greatest number of known child executions is the good old US of A. So please tell me now How civilized is American society that allows the state murder of children?.

o.O you Americans have never heard of this before? I thought it was pretty public knowledge. Anyone who was asking for proof... don't be lazy. Go do a google, there's stuff about it all over the place.
Defined... child as being under the age of 18. There have been several cases where 17 year olds have been classified as adults because of the depravity of their crimes... chopping up pregnant women etc.
Technically the US does have that record... but from memory, the numbers aren't all that high. (I think it's only about 14 or so) ... and what they did was pretty bad.
Don't know... kill someone who's 17, 18 or 26... what's the difference?
If you really want to talk about the US being uncivilised there are sooo many examples, but then again, other first world countries have them too.

I think you messed up because you seem like you have a poor grasp of the English language. You probably misunderstood the information. The "good old U.S. of A." probably leads the world in executions of "child offenders" meaning that the US executes those who COMMIT crimes AGAINST children, such as murder and sexual assault, not in executing children. You need to get your facts straight or don't ask the question.

America is civilized in technology but in the interpretation of the laws, it is just like any other backward countries. Decisions are based on laws enacted after the Independence from the British.

Within its limits, it poses to be civilized and over the whole world it tries to impose its 'civilization', which came into being through migration of thugs, murderers, cheats, other run-away criminals mostly from European countries.

How are they defining child executions? You mean children that are murdered? We don't execute children in this country. So those numbers are very incorrect?

This is a very confusing, poorly reasoned and poorly researched question.

You people need to keep your stories straight. I thought abortion wasn't murder?
