XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX says,

not too keen on witnessing a birth, either...

Sagacious says,

Ditto DELTA.

Bevvie says,

Well, I don't want to witness open heart surgery either. But hopefully after a delivery and an operation, people will be alive since the purpose in each is to support life.

EnMasse says,

I think we see people dying every day, we just don't notice.

Bevvie says,

Seeing people dying every day, especially if we don't notice, is not the same as willingly watching and wanting someone put to death, executed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX says,

One of the events that religious fanatical terrorists disallow us.

Greed says,

Religious fanatical terrorists....are you talking about Timothy McVeigh or the fanatical ones that held Ireland in their grip for so long?

Matter of fact I think the ones that want to hijack the political process to take the rights of others away can be defined as "fanatical". But something tells me you are leaving out a certain type of fanatical religious followers...

Bevvie says,

Some good points, Greed!

ChasLoLo says,

I think most people if given the chance would watch. Since ancient times, the whole town showed up for public hangings, quartering, drowning and flogging. These people arent so diff then us, i guess. But i dont want to watch. I just want to hide my head and pretend to know nothing.

Bevvie says,

I hope that most people do not want to watch an execution!
