If you murder somebody at 16, you shouldn't be a free man at 19. Three years is not enough time for somebody to mature and mellow.

- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoPeople really start to mature and become aware of their responsibilities and consequences for their actions at 15. So 16 years old person has only about 1 year of adult life experience vs 4 years at 19.
- MichaelCollins 4y agoI think your estimation is about 10 years too young.
- zakk 4y agoStill, cheating at chess is not murdering someone!
- MichaelCollins 4y agoAnd being banned from competitive chess is not an execution or lengthy imprisonment.
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoI believe that your position is utterly immoral and cruel. Everyone deserves a path to redemption, and a kid cheating at chess in his childhood does not deserve an eternal punishment for the rest of his life because of it. Imagine if he is a generational talent and one of the best in the world, are you really ready to deprive him any future just because he did stupid things as a kid?
