It's not, but thanks for clearing up for me that you are another member not to take seriously on this debate.
The foster is a parasite.
That is a fact, not debatable. I don't understand why you're giving ribo shit for mentioning it?
Now, that a lot of us use the term parasite in different situations, always in a negative manner, that has nothing to do with how the term was used in this instance.
Look up parasite in any dictionary.
Lets discuss the topic at hand instead:
My stance on death penalty is clear: As long as there are innocent people on death row I don't think it's even up for discussion(a few days back, BB posted an article showing how 14 persons were cleared off death row from a project effort).
Because if you kill a man, and he is later found innocent, you cannot "un-kill" him.
As for death penalty in general: There is no evidence of death penalty having any benefits in crime fighting, as countries with death penalties to the letter have higher crime rates than countries without it.
So why have death penalty if it doesn't have any benefits?
The only sentencing that should be used are those that are most effective in keeping crime rates low and as few people as possible in prison IMO.
How that sentencing exactly should be, I don't know about. But I know that there should not be any consideration for the victims need for revenge. That is just ineffective and unrational.
You sometimes see slogans "Let him rott in prison" or how the general public is concerned with criminals having too good time in prison.
That's missing the point.
I think what should worry people, is that most people who goes to prison, returns to criminality when they get out.
And instead of locking everyone up forever, do whatever is needed to turn these persons into straight model citizens. ASAP.
If that means boot camp 24/7, then boot camp it is. Or if it means isolation cells, then that's what they should be put in. Or even if it means a relaxed form of imprisonment.
Whatever it takes, it has to be done.
