Quite frankly, I would like the Death Penalty for many more crimes.

Being a citizen of a country which is among the ones with the top 10% highest income per capita or among the bottom 10% income per capita. The top ones have already enjoyed life more than they deserve and the bottom ones would welcome being put out of their misery. The rest of the world would welcome some breathing space.

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with killing malicious little geeks who author computer viruses. I’ve had this one fucker called Trojan Vundo stuck on my PC for a fucking week and can’t browse for five fucking minutes without shutting down a dozen gaudy fullscreen pop-ups for knock-off DVD’s, Space-aged vinyl siding and dick hardening Chinese root potion.

I want to find the little scrote who built this virus and catheterize him to death. And yes, I mean exactly what you think I mean. Death by insertion of little tubes up the knobend. Little tubes covered in lemon juice. And sand.

THANK YOU.

Check out the section on “duties to trespassers.”

Tort law isn’t my thing, but I don’t see why a run of the mill burglar would be anything other than an undiscovered/unanticipated trespasser.

Suicide is frowned upon.

While I agree that you have a good point, using the above reasoning, if we have the death penalty for murder, then after you kill your first person, you have every incentive to kill anyone else who may be able to help convict you, e.g. witnesses to your original murder, because if you get the death penalty for 1 murder, then it doesn’t really matter (in terms of your penalty) how many more you kill after that.

So, if the above reasoning holds, then we should do away with the death penalty for any crime, because it lacks any “proportionality” for more crimes committed after the death-penalty-worthy crime.

We need to revive the public stocks for a whole range of crimes, including white-collar ones.

With an ample supply of rotten fruits and vegetables on hand for passersby to employ as they see fit.

Any crime involving child molestation, rape, child kidnapping, felony child abuse, and essentially any such crimes against children.

Automatic chair, IMHO.

And I’d hold a public raffle to be the person who gets to pull the switch in such cases. I’m sure there’d be plenty of volunteers, including me.

I have absolutely zero empathy for child molesters. Less than zero, actually. Keeping these SOBs alive in prison is a waste of tax dollars. Fry them all.

This. A criminal may as well start killing all the victims and witnesses, he has nothing to lose. Then there is that whole thing about justice, and the punishment fitting the crime.

Seeing as you take offence at being directed to professional help, there’s not much anyone here can do for you.

OK?

Fuck You

The death penalty is more expensive than life in prison.

I wouldn’t support the death penalty for anything. Except maybe in this case. All those who would ‘throw the switch’ on anyone else could perhaps be rounded up and allowed to do so to each other. Last one standing gets to live…longest.

Biblically, you would owe two Pop-Tarts. I think this is more reasonable.

:rolleyes: Please. Does that even qualify as assault?

You owe two autos.

I’d like to grant you some forms of so-called molestation & rape, but both those words have evolved a great range of meaning since being originally used euphemistically–so not all cases qualify. Selling Senate Seats on E-bay (which sounds like a scurrilous rumor) qualifies one for impeachment, but death is contraindicated; why allow one to die quickly with his secrets intact?

How about:
Executive responsibility for massive environmental harm–like dumping TCE into the groundwater or wiping out a teak forest.
False imprisonment when in combination with repeated deliberate torture.
Arson, of a property not one’s own, with intent to cause death or bodily harm.

But yeah, simple burglary? Not a capital crime, ever.

:dubious: If break into people’s houses on Xmas & leave presents, am I OK, even if my name is Joe? What about other days of the year?

Not when effect of scale kicks in. With little tinkering we can make it Henry Ford style!
