Unfortunately, in this case, it was merely exasperation. :(

I also agree with your comments on the previous page that bringing back the death penalty would be a better alternative to life imprisonment for certain crimes.

I just can't see how capital punishment is actually punishment when the criminal doesn't have to answer for their crimes. It's like they're getting away with it. Life imprisonment forces them to deal with the consequences of what they did. I also don't like the idea of deciding someone should die, since it's purely a reactionary/emotionally charged decision that doesn't really make much sense logically.

However, I would like to emphasise that I only believe in life imprisonment for those that aren't willing to repent or reform. Getting criminals to become better citizens benefits everyone in the long run. If you watch part 2 of Louis Theroux's documentary on the biggest jail in Miami, you see the prisoners going through military training to give them a reason to live and make them learn the values of being a productive member of society. This training seems to change their attitudes greatly.
 
they even say prisons much better then freedom cause they have somewhere to stay and have meals and entertainment
prison is a place of punishment not a bloody place to chill. your there for a crimes you've committed and you must pay with community services, ditch digging, cleaning the high ways............ wait thats america .............,but still the should do something like that, not play and watch tv to pass the time, we need a chain gang

Logically, I can see several arguments for it (certainly if you think life imprisonment is a worse punishment, then I can't see how you can argue that calls for that would be any less reactionary or emotionally charged), but I wasn't really intending to enter a discussion on it (it's not a subject that usually ends up with happy people at the end) - I was just trying to wind Lawro up. He didn't actually mention anything about it, after all. :lol:
 
put it this way if a guy raped, abused and murdered a lil girls you would want this guy imprisoned for life or sentences to death
or if someone murdered a very close family member out of hate, envy, ect you would want him to suffer, cause your family member was a good person never hurt anyone and was loved by all.
would you want justice? or revenge?
 
No.

No, how many freaking people are like this?

In the world for eye for an eye, the whole world is blind, correct?

No-one is truly 'evil'. They just have psychological problems. Of course, that doesn't justify what they did, but they need help, not to just pass them off as 'evil' and murder them.


Let me ask you a question. If a family member of yours murdered someone, would you want them to die for it? Or would you want them to get help?

The answer is most likely the latter, since you know that they're actually a good person, right?

Or how about no-one does anything that bad in the first place?

Pffff to your lack of faith in the humanity of my New World.
 
Reality is bleak, the future holds nothing for us and nothing we could do will ever be of any real worth. The dust that is the fruit of your life's labours will simply be scattered to nothingness in the winds of time, and you will be forgotten. Struggling against such inevitability is futile, any path other than acceptance of this fate will lead you to despair.

May as well just enjoy life while it lasts then, since ultimately everything else is meaningless.
