I don't think it's any nation's place to put people in a position where they have to fight and perhaps die for the country who arms and trains them; it's not a proud death unless one believes in what he's doing and is willing to die for it; no officials' praises can justify the pain felt by the deceased or the family.
As for offenders facing prosecution, I don't believe anyone should be jailed for economic crimes (in fact, I encourage that too). Not that I believe this will happen, or that the prison system will grow more liberal any time soon, but the number of people we have locked away for stupid 'crimes' is ridiculously high. If you freed drug offenders, that's 30% right there -- just an example.
As for rapists, murderers, child molesters, and people of that nature; well I'd kill them if they hurt one of my family members, and I'd expect anybody else in the same situation would do the same. Without prisons, what's to keep a criminal safe from those s/he's done wrong? | Wow I agree with so much more of that than I would have ever expected too... Most Especially about economic prisoners, & drug prisoners. Further more I think if we give someone the death penalty, we should put them to death, not put them through college...
Don't get me wrong, sometimes college seems worse than death I know, but there is an important difference... | I do believe some criminals can be reformed, but there are some crimes that go beyond retribution (rape, etc.), that's when we resort to penalty of death.
For perpetrators of assault and other not-so-serious crimes, I say we make them work for their freedom, not busy work though, I'm talkin' stringing fenceline in Arizona during the summer and things of that nature; HARD WORK. | what if you assault someone and blind them for life?? what should we do if someone takes our god given gifts?? such as senses, the ability to walk and do other recreational stuff. and what should the legal system do about it?? -- San Fernando Valley's where it's at |
