I always wonder how moral and fair it is to provide an opportunity for rehabilitation to someone guilty of a heinous crime, since they didn't provide a second chance to their victims. It seem like a great cosmic injustice. As for punis

It's not cruelty, it's a service to society and the victims.

> A good person will refuse to hurt others no matter how badly they want to. Does this include or exclude killing in self defense? Would a good person allow themselves to be killed rather than harming the attacker? Imagine that the assai

Why is it bold? Prisons are full yet we haven't eradicated crime, lots of people doing illegal stuff.

It's retributive justice, it's not a deterrent. To quote a post I recently found resonating with me: "Look, we don’t necessarily hang murderers to deter other people from committing the same offence. We kill them simply becau

You have to wonder as a species if we have too much entertainment, all the endless tv shows, movies, it's hyper production of mostly forgettable noise and variations on the same few recycled themes. Instead we might be better of with l

It might very well keep it, but either that behavior wasn't turned on by default or it crashed in way where it wasn't recoverable. I know I lost work.

I actually tried using open/libre docs a few years ago just because of it being open source. I was trying to make a point of using locally installed software and avoid google products. Then the thing crashed and I lost an hour of work

That may have been true years ago in win 95 or xp days. The modern paradigm starting with google docs is that things are automatically saved and even always sharable through the cloud, making manual saving actually an atavistic leftover of

My simplified understanding is that the author is not advocating for punishing family members. Instead he is trying to discredit consequentialism, a position that an act is morally right based on the outcome. In that view retribution serves

Why imprison anyone who commits crimes if they promise not to do it again? Isn't that a cruel punishment?

The archons demand sacrifice, that's why somewhere in the world always has to be pain and suffering.

We had a one-party system in Yugoslavia. Today we have one ruling party which almost always wins the election and being a member will give you perks and advantages. Small parties are there mostly for the decor and coalitions. Sometimes the

I've recently had this really bizarre intuitive insight telling me I'm just living out the actions that were either pre-recorded as a movie or are computed along the way, and I'm just perceiving it as my actions and my will,

It's a common opinion. I find this stance a bit weak, since it doesn't hold the justice system to the highest standards and expectations. I know, death seems so immediate and there is no taking it back, but things aren't usua

Isn't "beyond reasonable doubt" already a high standard? I've watched cases on youtube where it was really obvious from all the circumstances that the defendant did it. But it wasn't beyond reasonable doubt, so th

It's always weird for me to hear arguments about death penalty not deterring crime, then in the same breath they favor life in prison over death penalty. Not even aware of their double standard.

Croatia is the same, our serial killer that started killing when he was 16 is being released soon, killed someone on a free weekend while serving time, got married in prison. Not sure what to say of such a system, I'm not really in fav

In Croatia you can pay via SMS, just send a message to the phone number listed on the machine, you type in your plate number and receive a confirmation. The only caveat is some additional transaction cost over paying via the machine.
