    First of all, you're a Geordie, so get the **** out of here <ok>

    We've had this debate many many times, and noone wants to post on it due to the OP, who is a delusional idiot.

    Writing a lot doesn't make you more intelligent, it just proves how boring your life must be.

    Also, **** off <ok>

    <laugh> Oh no, your witticism is so cutting how will I ever recover?

    Nobody wants to post on it? Loads of people have posted, and most have actually been on topic. You've just posted on it now as well genius.

    Writing insults clearly does the intelligent job for you doesn't it <doh>

    Gladly... Kindly point out this Russian lady called "off", and the randy fecker I am will see to her no problem <ok>

    Only a handful of people posted on it, and they were half-arsed posts. This subject has been done to death, and anyone with anything worthwhile to post won't bother because of the mental patient that started this thread.

    You started your first 'deep' post with an insult, and you automatically think you're smart because you waffled ****loads with no end product/structure in your argument. Reminds me of the stuff I used to do at school (let me guess, you enjoying your hols at the mo?)

    Please point me towards one of your 'cutting witticisms', I seem to have missed them in the heap of pish you came up with earlier?

    Yes. A remarkably solid defence. The beaks like a good laugh a lot more than you might think.

    The point of the hypothetical argument was to point out just how taxing the idea of killing criminals is. Guards aren't morally culpable for taking life, but contributing to a system of rehabilitation at best and confinement at worst, which cannot be argued as more or even equally "unethical" as taking life in the current climate (and to be honest I can't see this element changing). Preserving life over taking it is so ingrained into law and society we cannot take our own lives.

    The "eye for an eye" idea is basically my interpretation of what you call "justice". Justice is about the right thing being done. To me, in line with point one of this post, attempted rehabilitation is more desirable and more "right" than taking someone's life. Wanting someone dead for hurting you or your family is perhaps instinctive, but is led by one of two thoughts, revenge or fear. Fear that the criminal may kill etc again, or wanting to avenge a lost life, are both held as irrational arguments and don't really pertain to a definition of justice. Making criminals serve time, however, puts some emphasis on rehabilitation and can be argued as more mentally healthy (for the victim/family) for the purposes of moving on because it involves rationally accepting our ideals of preserving life above personal loss. Obviously this perspective is heavily influenced by my non-religious outlook, and there can be many different interpretations of the situation. Then again I don't claim to have the all defining answer on the subject.

    What I will add is that I disagree with the lengths of the prison sentences for the purposes of confinement and rehab, because they seem(/are portrayed as) disproportionate to the crime (or what the general public hold as "rightful" anyway), and in my opinion this fuels more extreme conjecture about the death penalty as a solution.

    Probably explains why the rape conviction rate is so low. That and the fact that the 'victims' are usually gagging for it <whistle>

    can i put forward the alternative theory than we should, in fact, simply "stomp ****s with me boots" if they are found guilty?

    The subject is always worthy of debate in my opinion, no matter the sanity-credentials of the OP. I find it interesting, if you don't, who cares? Not me...

    <rofl> hahahaha how hilarious you'd take it as an insult. If you identify so much with my analysis of being an idiot behind a computer using insults at another idiot behind a computer that you feel insulted, I suggest it's actually an accurate description, not an insult <whistle> If you mean the philosophizing shizzle, well just look around the other threads <ok> (and buzzzzzzzzzzzz..... guess again as to my academic ability, genius... But you have won the star-prize of looking like an idiot behind a computer screen! Yayyyy... We'll bring it out for you on the generic shiny speedboat)

    At least you've further proved yourself intelligent by reading what I put... I said YOUR witticisms, genius... You know, the non-existent ones that have had absolutely no affect on me? <laugh> It's precious how you think they do though <laugh>

    I'm a ****, I know I am (I'm wet enough ;)...), but I'd sure rather be a **** than whatever the hell you are <laugh> Now if you'll excuse me little boy...
