[citation][nom]ravewulf[/nom]Just cause someone does something bad doesn't mean that we need to take out a gun and kill them.Yes, the kid is messed up and deserves some kind of punishment (5, 10 years, and community service or whatever), but what he needs most is to see a psychologist so that he can become un-messed up and get rid of his issues for good instead of leaving it as is.You're worldview is far more naive and simplistic than the other person you accused. People are not inherently or permanently “good” or “evil”. People can be molded and changed in either direction. Someone who was “good” can become “evil” and someone who was “evil” can become “good.”It’s also not absolute (which is why “good” and “evil” are in quotes). You can be “good” in one aspect of life and be “evil” in another. For example, being a great parent to your own kids and in every other aspect of your life while at the same time working at an insurance company where your purpose is to make as much money as possible even if it entails denying coverage to those in need of it or not giving the full coverage that a customer deserves.Basic psychology 101 people![/citation]
I wasn't saying without exception or anything like that. My point is that there are "some"( and i made that clear) that are irredeemable and the best solution is capital punishment as deterrent and an expression of the seriousness of the crime.
I don't suggest, as you made it out to be, that we simply kill whoever does something wrong. The punishment must fit the crime.
And the health insurance crack, lets leave that debate off of Toms
