Or better yet, do what the Thailand (or Vietnam?) prisons do and jail them 30 years or life with nothing but horse intestine soup. Literally nothing but that soup. They don't get out of their cells, no hint of any entertainment at all. None. The boredom will slowly kill you. I'd rather have this as an option than a bullet, as a bullet is quick and painless. The same room and horse intestine soup until whenever you die is torture. And that's what we want for cold, callous criminals.

That's what should be done to some of the ****ers we have in our prisons.

They may have done inhuman things, but it reflects on our own humanity as to how we deal with that.

Crooks could rape your Mum murder your kids and you would be forgiving.
I have to admire your faith in human nature that crooks can be turned around.
Sorry but I am a put them in jail and throw the keys away sort of guy.

No it doesn't.

An eye for an aye. You give me gifts, I'll be your friend. You kill/harass someone I love, you're going to be very unhappy. If I have my way. I'm not giving callous criminals any mercy.

All I'm saying is that at the end of the day, getting revenge never really made anyones life any better. Regardless of what happened to the crim, I'd still be short of a loved one, money, TV, bottom virginity, or whatever. The only thing that would make my own life better is via my own letting go and coming to peace with it.

You sure can harbour grudges, but at the end of the day you have to live your own life, which is short. Why bother consuming yourself with hate while you're at it?

717886 2008-11-11 07:54:00 You don't have to hate to seek a tough sentence.

I had someone do something pretty damn bad to me, It messed up a lot of years of my life.

I saw him in the street a couple of years ago, He ran, I convinced him to talk to me, I told him I forgave him, that he could stop running, Have his life back. I had let go of most of the hate and anger many years before.


Holding onto the hate stops the healing from taking place.And if you can't do that then your doomed.

If I had the power I'd still have him and people like him hung. Blight on society, and the only contribution they make is to ruin other peoples lives.

I don't care if it makes anyone's life better or not. I simply don't care.

If you're a callous criminal, simply don't expect any hint of mercy in my book.

717888 2008-11-11 08:03:00 I agree, and I agree with tougher sentences too. But they have to be constructive as well. Otherwise what's the point?

Either we punish them with horse soup/a bullet, or we do our best to rehabilitate them and make them some use in society.

I'd prefer the latter, but at the moment we're stuck somewhere in between that doesn't really do either.

Either go Scandinavian, or go Indonesian, but at least be a little bit decisive about it.

Those are my thoughts anyway.

717889 2008-11-11 08:39:00 ... we do our best to rehabilitate them and make them some use in society....
No, no, no, no. As I said earlier, it takes too much, too long, and without any guarantee they'll succeed in rehabilitating themselves.

If when they get out they are reformed, then good. But if not, keep 'em in there eating their horse **** soup and sleep in the same cage till the day they die. I am NOT willing to give criminals any liberty that they didn't give their victims.

717890 2008-11-11 08:54:00 People learn by example. A state that gives no liberties breeds people that do the same.

If you want a compassionate, humane society then you need a state that acts as such. And vice versa

It's hard, and not always seemingly worth it, but the alternatives are awful.

It's a slippery slope as soon as you start doing what you're suggesting, better not to set the precedent IM(H)O.
