No, I understand that and I disagree completely. To the extent that you're not mentally handicapped and understand that your actions have consequences, what you think you're up to when you commit a crime is completely irrelevant.
- nitrogen 14y agoAh, I guess we'll have to disagree then, as I my personal philosophy tends to shun strict deontology. I consider frame of mind to be highly relevant. I do have to take offense at the implication that disagreeing with your view is associated with mental handicap.
- fusiongyro 14y agoWe are going to have to disagree but please reread my comment: I am not implying that you have a mental handicap at all. I'm saying that a person who does not understand the consequences of their actions due to mental handicap should be exempt from full punishment. I stand firmly by rationalization does not constitute failure to understand.
