The victims family always think the perpetrator "got off lightly"

The perpetrators family always think "the sentence was harsh"

The rightwing politician thinks "he should be punished"

The leftwing politician thinks "It's societies fault he's like that"

The accountant thinks "its not economically viable to lock him up"

The villager thinks "I don't want a prison built near me"

The pensioner thinks "If he's locked up I'm safer"

Just shows there is more than one viewpoint on everything .....

You forgot:

TheBoy thinks they should be shot - making country less tax burdened, less unsightly buildings, and safer.

Remember, threats (prepared to be carried through) are the biggest deterent....

You could even MAKE money by charging people to carry out the execution, could turn it into a sport and do it paintball style  ;D

Not that I read such tripe, but according to the Daily Mail, every single one of us like molesting small children, as we all use the Internet, so it follows we are all peados....


Not quite sure who the Daily Mail are backing these days, seems more and more like the BNP.

lots of draconian law in the 18th century TB.
Execution for almost any crime. Steal a loaf of bread and you hang....steal a sheep and you hang.
Did these draconian laws stop crime....you tell me.
Plenty of crime in the good old days. :-* :-* :-* :-*

They probably had the same problem we had today. Stiff penalties, lots of publicity, but damn all chance of getting caught.  >:(

yep..laws alone not sufficient to stop crime..thats a proven fact..

and another fact is the correlation between economy and crime rate..

And back to subject ,I believe the laws (punishment) must be proportional with crime ..(whole my childhood passed in courthouses as family are all lawyers)..

And from my experiences I can say everybody  have the possibility of making a crime at any moment if the necessary conditions occur..

if you were born in a different family and different environment its possible...
You're too soft ;D

Kill 'em all - the world is over-populated.  Harsh, but fair ;D


Obviously, creeping over the speed limit isn't a crime ::)

Yep, the world is definitely over-populated, but we're already doing our best to solve that, aren't we?  

We, the developed and developing nations, are converting the planet's resources to pollution at such a rate that we are going to change the climate, and all the poorer nations are going to be wiped out.  

Of course, we mustn't take into consideration the fact that our medical, agricultural, scientific and engineering advances are the main reason why the world population is so high.  

So, instead of slaughtering criminals, why don't we employ them to take out all the rich industrialists and research scientists so that we can revert to the civilisation (and population levels) they enjoyed in, for example, 7th Century BC Athens?

You know it makes sense...
