Re: My issue with the death penalty(rant)
First of all:
[ QUOTE ]
SHIFTING THE ONUS OF PROOF: This is when your opponent makes a claim, provides no evidence for it, and then expects you to find evidence of it. Your opponent is making the claim, so he should logically have to provide evidence. Shifting the onus (or burden) of proof to you is a fallacy and a very low tactic to engage in. Often, a Creationist will make phantom claims and, then, act like they are common knowledge and he shouldn't have to back them up.

Second of all, you have still refused to answer my question. What purpose, if any, does that picture have in this discussion?
As far as I can tell, all you've proven is that a heinous crime happened to innocent people, no one's debating that fact. What you have done, however, has been to show us evidence of what we already know, expect us to draw YOUR conclusion, then defend our position when you disagree with it.
