RE: The Death Penalty and Why I Feel it is Necessary...
I think the punishment system as it exists in western countries is truly a waste. The idea that a large portion of money is taken from working Americans to fund keeping people clothed, fed, and in boxes disgusts me. For starters I believe that many of the people currently in jail should not be. I fundamentally believe the concept of 'no victim, no crime'. This alone would dramatically reduce the prison population. If you are a thief, instead of going to prison, you should be forced to pay restitutions in addition to some form of corporal punishment (if you were not shot for stealing to begin with). The death penalty should absolutely be reinstated nation wide and to be frank, I do not care how long it takes or how painful it is. If you kill or rape someone, I think you are beyond rehabilitation and have forfeited your right to live. As such, the cheapest method should be employed. Chains, weights, and a large body of water are very inexpensive and just as deadly as any other method.
Very well said my friend! You and I think a lot alike.. Most of the people in prison should not be there! And agreed on your opinion of rape and murders they shouldn't be allowed to walk on this planet.. I can't believe how often we let these people walk out of jail while the man who was caught smoking some pot has to stay in jail for an extensive amount of time.. It's just crazy how the dealer or user of drugs has to face more time than the pedophile down the street who was caught touching little girls and boys is only required to put a sign in his yard (which most of them don't even do that) Scum like that does not deserve to live in my opinion! Thank you so much for your comment it really means a lot to me. You'r a great person!
Thanks man, glad we think alike. I think everyone has an inherent right to live free from coercion and aggression, but if you violate the rights of another, you forfeit your own. Self preservation is the best peace keeping tool we have and it has been bent shackled here in the US with laws that ban open carry and states that do not have a stand your ground law. If there was a legitimate fear that stealing could end in your death, you are far more likely to not steal and the data on crime in conjunction with private gun ownership support that. For the sake of argument, I would say that someone who is attracted sexually to children is fucked up and needs help, but if they don't act on it no one can or should do anything. If they touch a kid however, I want them to know exactly what it feels like to catch a 9mm in the throat.
