Capital Punisment?

Perspectives on our world and our universe, how it works, what is happening, and why it happens. Whether by a hidden hand or natural laws, we come together to hash it out, and perhaps provide a little bit of education and enlightenment for others. This is a place for civil discussion. Please keep it that way.
Forum rules
1) Remain civil. Respect others' rights to their viewpoints, even if you believe them to be completely wrong.
2) Sourcing your information is highly recommended. Plagiarism will get you banned.
3) Please create a new thread for a new topic, even if you think it might not get a lot of responses. Do not create mega-threads.
4) If you think the subject of a thread is not important enough to merit a post, simply avoid posting in it. If enough people agree, it will fall off the page soon enough.

[quote="mrchapel";p="325229"]ReggarBlane, you used the term "uncorrectable" a little while ago. What do you think about people with mental disorders? Most of the time they cannot be cured. Should they be put to death if they pose a threat to society?[/quote]The keywords are "risk" and "threat"... not "uncorrectable". It's a matter of threat assessment. Even though the person may be mentally incompetent, if that person repeatedly escapes and murders people, something must be done for the society... sad as it may be.

(Sorry for the delay in response.)

Once a person is gone, you cannot bring them back.
If they are found to be innocent, or if they are, for whatever reason, needed, you cannot get them back.


Though admittedly it may stop some hijackings etc. which are done to get some person out of jail.

Ok ReggarBlane, but aren't you trying to save the ship after it has already been sunk?
I'll put something here eventually...
