Reply #39: Stereotype much?

Texas has about 25 million people. To have met even 1% you'd have had to talked to 250,000 texans. And even then, 1% is hardly enough to judge an entire population.

So how many texans would you say you have known well? 250,000 or more?

And the rate of executions here in 2008 was .075/100,000 people (18 out of 24,000,000). China is at .13/100,000 (1,718 out of 1.3 billion in 2008). Nearly double. And that's just the ones they've admitted to. Amnesty international estimates it's actually closer to 22/day, or over 8000 per year.

Yep, no difference.
