It ain't about normalisation leah. It's about respecting the social sphere.

Actually fuck it.
Let em fry or put em in asylums.
I dont care either way.

If you surrendered yourself to every thought you had and did what you desired and lived the way your heart and soul told you, you would be considered unsafe or unsane. It is control that we have in a normal life it is an ability to supress the feelings that we feign someone who cannot control those feelings is unwell. Can you punish someone so terribly for not being able to suppress those feelings, or can you see that they are unwell, are you now able to surpress your desire to punish someone till it satisfies your desire?

Not everyone has such control chossy, in any type of situation. Thats what separates people, the will power to do something great, or something dispicable.

if not torture, at least get them locked up forever, it is my own rage that desires these people to be tortured, but when i really think about it, all i want is for there to be no parole, these people need to be locked up so that my friends and family are safe.
also it pisses me off to hear of prisoners getting tv or radio etc in their rooms! how is THAT punishment?
gawd i sound like a hard ass!

humans have a wonderful ability called discretion – yet we as a species aren't yet able to harness it's true power.
- chossy0
thats was what I was highlighting.
The tv's and such are to keep a healthy level of sanity and stimulation leah I know it sounds like pampering but, allot of people nowadays don't read or cannot read very well and find things like ping pong, pool, board games and weight lifting unapproachable. Whithering someones brain is counterproductive.

amen gorbie, unfortunately so many others ignore it for something that seems more lucrative
- chossy0
I know a doctor who is very discreet

kill him immediately.
This is where I am not your typical democrat.
Fuck paying for that guy to live and appeal and all that. Kill him immediately.

naw seriously. Morality doesn't even come into. Leah's bringing in all these genetic shit. Then it's like what "abnormalities" "normal" society is willing to put up with, and how it deals with these "abnormalities". Going along the victorian lines that criminals don't commit one off crimes - that they're genetically pre-disposed at birth or some life experiences has left a permanenet, irreversible criminal "abnormality" in their brain. In which case "normal" society deems their very existence harmful to itself and so must be disposed off one way or antoher. Isolated or killed.
By which reasoning I say, kill all the retards too. And the mutants, and handicapped. Know how much they cost our health services? Promote normative behaviour. I mean i know lots of dwarves that are like doctors and forklift truck drivers. They cool. But like the ones with degenerative brain diseases, who're merely occupying space.
It's an ethical question. Since I don't care much for society or it's values, i'm all like meh. woteva.

It's usually more costly, because of appeals, because of the time and energy, to kill a convict than detain them.
This doesn't mean I am against the death penalty. Our society has functioned and evolved for thousands of years with this punishment in place, and we are not in shortage of human beings. Therefore I would not argue it hurts "society" like chossy said.

eye for an eye.

Kuz you are daft how in the hell am I going to keep the wolf from the door if you start to persecute my freak farm.!
- Gorbie0
and the whole world is blind.

the death penalty is not the easy way out. if it were, inmates on death row would not be working overtime to have their sentences reduced to life in prison.
with regards to rehabilitation, the system is completely flawed.
you take a guy and put him in the most violent environment possible for a narcotics violation, then expect him to re-enter society eight years later a better person?
*narcotics, eight years... just hypothetics. didn't want to muddy the water with a violent crime.
- mrdobolina0
just my opinion gorbie, but what kind of life is living in prison for the rest of his life? kill him.
- toe_knee0
so what if we kill everyone on death row today, only to find out next month that half were actually innocent. there has to be a proccess, or else we are no different to murderers
- abizzyman0
mrdob.. that's not democratic of you at all!!!
... but I'm impressed and glad that you're willing to show how feelings on this situation.
