Now, a proper punishment, sure. Who can arue with that. The victims usually get life, why not let the perpetrator have life as well.
Hang on... I don't understand this statement... I know I said that I would say no more on this but, I am really confused by this statement...
Originally posted by queeqThey never use the death penalty, so how can it change anything?
I said that there is no evidence that the death penalty has any preventive effect. There is no change in crime between states in the US that have and do not have the death penalty. Also, there's no noticeable change when states abolish the death sentence, which again proves that the preventive qualities of the death penalty are non-existent.

And frankly, I do not see what benefit anyone can have from killing a person. You will not get your loved ones back, it will not undo the damage done, all it gets you that it may feel good to have someone killed. That's a scary thought.

Agree but some things don't make sense. Europe has strict gun laws and seem to have very few gun crimes, whenever a place in the states tightens gun laws crime gets worse because criminals take advantage of the thought that fewer guns in the hands of law abiding citizens means they are safer.

who'd want that?that'll be insanely infamous, then. I wonder how many people would actually want to buy it or something...
I'd probably buy one or two criminals to place in our
dungeonentertainment room or something. That would be cool.
lol I never thought of that. They should carbon freeze one million criminals, hide where they are and time it to where they all unfreeze at the same time 45 years later and leave a bunch of weapons for them.
Hahaha. When the past attacks the future!

don't you age when you're carbon frozen?
that would be a pretty funny sight, though lol. World overrun by criminals - should be placed in luxurious homes too, so those guys would have plenty to loot immediately. maybe put a couple or four in a weapon depot...

We need to invent this.
Sounds like a great idea!

Again it shows that the problems are rooted deeper than death penalties and gun laws. Canada has very liberal gun law and relatively little gunrelated crime. Go figure. I don't think there are absolute laws on how things work in society. The deathe penalty thing has been extensively researched, but it doesn't mean that kinda things works for everything else.

It seems location has a lot to do as well. There is a place in the US where people are required to have a gun (it is a law but not enforced) that has very little if any crime. Some things just don't match up, and I can't figure it out why in some places Americans kill the heck out of each other.

It is because we are humans, and humans are inherently unpredictable.
