Because its a coward! If they had a problem with me all they had to do is P.M. me. Duh. And whoever that was is realy lost, So I'll pray for that person. Any way this is not the religion thread.
So guys and girls what do you think of people who pray on kid all the time. I kind of ask this question because I have someone stocking me all the time and sends me these crazy letters. One of them said that if she cought me alone she would rape me, suck me me until I passout, and Some other stuff I realy don't like to discuss over the net.

They say that when vampires suck blood, it's highly pleasurable. GO FOR IT!
All in all, you must remember your age group. The actual odds of kids following through with that is slim to none. They're just looking for your reaction.

Prison, never death
How is death a punishment or deterent. dont states with death sentences still in use have higher crime rates? (feel free to correct me, working on old stuff i was taught). Also they need to repent or atleast be shown that their actions are wrong. Removing people from society and thier regular lives is the best way to do this.
To be honest not all prisons do this effectivly, those portrayed in movies are sometimes out dated and extreme in thier portrail. Then again in effected by media hype on the subject. but i still feel that prison is the best way to punish. dont know about lengths of times though

You double posted! Speaking of punishing criminals, we must punish you! Get him!
::23 Toshis attack Hopeless::
I think they should lower the age of punishment in japan down even more to 11, for severe crimes. For some reason, I felt like reading articles on murder yesterday. Thus the Nevada-tan set.
If it is asked, I will list several interesting cases that had interesting results or subjects.

Let's start with Nevada...
http://nevada.natural20.net/ <<<
An 11 year old girl kills her classmate after seeing a similar situation in the movie Battle Royale and the internet flash red room. She claimed guilty, but the law at that time the law was not established for her age group. It is now at the age 14 as a minimum for serious murder charges. I find that screwed up... Mostly because the length is similar to a high school student incarcerated for trying to poison their classmate with bleach.
Incarcerated until 2013.
One thing that will probably piss off M is that she attributed it to the internet and was diagnosed with hikokimori syndrome.
They really need to change their laws in Japan...
10 year old boy beheads a 14 year-old at a public pool. he places the head outside the pool and threatens people saying he will continue killing. He is set to be released at the age of 21. That is... next year...
That is what brought down the age minimum to 14, besides the 39% raise over the years of juvenile crime in japan similar to these cases.
Other cases with very short release dates...
2-year-old boy in Nagasaki a city just north of Sasebo was accused of kidnapping, molesting and murdering a 4-year-old by shoving him off the roof of a car garage.
In the same month, a 14-year-old boy was arrested for beating a 13-year-old classmate to death in Okinawa.
After so many incidents is it any wonder why they now require counseling in schools?

Jesus, those are pretty bad. XP
I never understood this type of thing though:
Throughout the 1990s, Miyazaki remained incarcerated while Saitama Prefecture put him through a battery of psychiatric evaluations, ending with the 1997 conclusion by a team of psychiatrists from Tokyo University that Miyazaki, though suffering from multiple personality disorder and extreme schizophrenia, was still aware of the gravity and consequences of his crimes, and was therefore accountable for them.
If they let some people live after committing things like this, how can the convict anyone? I mean, if you go around murdering and eating little girls, doesn't there have to be something severely wrong with you?

Honestly I think Miyazaki's punishment was well deserved. He molested the girls corpses and ate portions of his 3rd or 4th victom. Thats realy sick. And then he haves the nerves to send that girl, grinded into ashes, to her parents. How desterbed can you get. This man was crazy, but I kind of understand how he felt when people picked on him when he was young. Still thats no reason to go crazy and become a serial killer.

Well, you have to remember he also had no wrists, which must've been rough. So when he was super stressed out he couldn't even really....ah, nevermind. XD
Anyway! That's what I was saying; how can they convict some serial killers, and not others? Doesn't there have to be something deeply wrong with you if you're going around killing people? It amazes me when people say "ah, this person was insane at the time, so it's alright. This guy however, had nothing wrong with him. He has to be executed." That. makes. no. sense!

No, the brain doesn't work like that. The body doesn't work like that. Some people have no choice after going over the edge, a lot of people snap. OCD
infuriates people, yet they continue to repeat actions. It isn't about choice Cody. The brain can just skip a beat, or suddenly change itself making people irrational. Sometimes it isn't their fault, but the fault of society. If they are easily influenced, people will act rashly. There isn't anything we can do but find the source and try to remedy it, or let them live their life with it.
What you just gave, was proof that you really need help spelling =)

People do not just decide to go crazy.
Take your bullshit somewhere else.
Do you really think that Joe Schizophrenia who lives down the street chose to be that way? That one day he up and decided that he wanted to talk the voices in his head, and that he wanted to believe they were real?
So when a homicidal Bob Serial-Killer decids he can't afford a prostitute to satisfy himself, he'd just go down the street, attack the first woman he sees, subsequently rape her and, hell, just for the heck of it, he'd eat her too. Just 'coz he liked the taste of human flesh. Yeah, that coming from the fact that he'd never even tried it before. He likes to try new things.
You'll have to believe that there are people out there with mental conditions. They were born with something out of sorts inside them. They can't tell right from wrong, because in their world, white is black, and black is white, and hell, maybe there's no difference between them after all and everything's just a nice sepia tone.
They didn't choose to see the world that way. While they waited in the womb they didn't pick all their life options like you pick toppings for your pizza. No. Once in a while a baby is born with an extra chromosome and bam, you've got yourself a down syndrome child. Their parents, let alone them, didn't decide as they got in bed together, "Heck, let's just throw in an extra chromosome for the hell of it and let the damned baby sort itself out, bitch." Yes. That seems very reasonable, don't you think?
Do you honestly think that something inside them had come up with a nice logical reason that "Yes. Killing and eating little Sally is a nice idea. What a capital notion." was a good idea? Oh yes. It drips with such logic that even I envy myself.
Well now. Don't you suppose lack of judgment can considered to be a "condition", per se?
It could be caused by one of two things, perhaps more, but nonetheless, it was not to their discretion:
Social conditioning. Maybe his/her parents raised him/her up in such an environment to have properly turned him insane.
Hell, maybe they're a schizo too.
They evidently did not choose to have had either of these circumstances, both being beyond their control. It is something you are born into.
So what do you do with them? Simple.
Why, you send to a correctional facility.
If you can't make them "normal like you", well at any rate, at least they're not out in the public to reign chaos "such as they please", if you will pardon the pun.
Have a good night, Palstine, Texas.
Here's hoping you wake up tomorrow and get yourself some logic.

I know quoting my own post is weird but thats me.
I went back and studied what I post. I have a change of heart. People can't choose what happens to them but can controle how they react, most of the time.
My friend Sylivia and I do some research on what I posted and found what I said to be wrong. A person can't choose to become insaine, it's a brith defect proven by scientist. However someone can choose to be gay or crazy like some of my friends though.

Sorry, I've been really stressed out lately, what with finals and all...
What I was trying to get at, Cody, was that whenever you use the words "every," "none," "always," "never," "all," or the like, you need to make very sure you know what you're saying. A lot of our actions are indeed driven by choice on our part, but certainly not all of them.
The whole "choosing to be gay" debate is a can of worms that we probably shouldn't open up here.
Are we done with this crime? If so, could I bring up the crime of tax evasion? Hopefully there will be no dispute as to whether it's a crime; I'd like to open up a discussion on how it should be punished. (Speaking of which, the range of punishments we hear about nowadays is pretty narrow: probation, community service, fines/restitution, jail time, and death. Would there be any benefit to suggesting new forms of punishment?)

ME411
March 17th, 2007, 01:26 am
I think tax evasion should be punished by the amount of time and money has been used. If its been years i say years in jail should help that. If its been less, pay back the money you owe with interest. It really just depends on the situation. (Have any of you heard about Wacco(sp?), Texas)

i'd say it's a tough call. true, murdering someone is a horrible HORRIBLE crime, but i wouldn't say killing the murder is just punishment. death for death? not cool.
as for life-sentences, i really wouldn't know how to judge that one. who actually knows what goes on in prisons. seriously, a lot of what we think goes on in there comes from what happens in the movies and on tv series like Prison Break. again, just imho.

I don't think Death should be a punishment for tax evasion. I think they should be put into prison only to work off their depts and after they work it off they are released.

I agree with HanTony on the tax evading. Simply collect what they owe + extra charges. It definitely isn't worth going to extremes over.
The law should (ideally) punish the crime, and then deter the person that committed the crime from repeating it. But as the crime becomes more severe I think the punishment should also become stronger to, again, act as a deterrent.
ME411
March 19th, 2007, 11:43 pm
but some people dont learn by example or anything you do to them. they just repeat their actions to see how far they can push it without being in prison for a long time.

I think that's a part of the life sentence vs. death penalty argument. You have capital punishment being used in instances of very severe crimes, so people know that if they commit a crime like that, they could be punished with death. Yet people still commit those crimes. Or worse, someone is falsely convicted and executed. for the crime allegedly committed. While it may be intended to deter, in practice that doesn't happen. Cost-wise it's also cheaper to keep someone in jail than to execute them, as bad as that sounds to frame punishment in terms of money. :unsure:

And even though this was a page back, I'll use it. As for capital punishment (death sentence), I only have this to say. We, as a people, have become liars, con men, and murderers ourselves. Now before you say anything, let me finish. Think of your best friend. Now, would you do anything to them if they did something to you, say stole something of yours?
Now, let's delve into our vocabulary and find the word 'evil'. What do you associate with that? Someone dangerous, bad guy that won't care if you're alive or dead. (My thought, to a lesser extent.)
Now, let's go back to your friend. If other people were to name your best friend evil just for that theft, would it make it easier to do something to them (Inflict pain or the like) from their point of view?
Now, whether you answered yes or no, put yourself in that position. You have heard of someone commiting a crime (no preference), and it really offends your sense of morality or whatnot. If they were in prison or had a bad reputation, would it make it easier to call them 'bad' and kill/hurt them? That, in my opinion, is the only reason that anyone can get past the morality that is stuck tightly to our minds and become a murderer. (Which means, for all of those that don't speak english, that you can get over your block to not hurt someone by making them into someone else. If I said that I knew a terrorist and you were very patriotic, could you honestly say that you wouldn't try to do something about it? And you all know what I mean, so don't play dumb.)
If one of my siblings hit me, I would hit them back. It doesn't matter to me what their age, because I can get over the morality of myself and take a swing at them. This may or may not make sense (it's confusing me quite honestly), so I'm sorry if it is a lot to swallow.

I dunno, I'd still say I'm doing better than a good number of people out there; I think 99% of Americans would kill Osama and enjoy the act and the money. I'd really be doing it only for the money; killing Osama would be my personal favor to him, as handing him over to the US government alive would be far worse for the poor guy. ;)
I could let him go, but you know, he'd probably end up killing more people.
So really, I'm taking the most moral and enterprising course of action all at once. I'm a genius! ^_^
So after some thought, I revise my original statement! I'd kill him for greed, and compassion!

That's like asking someone if they would kill Hitler if given the chance.
Killing someone simply because you hate them just seems weird to me. There'd have to be some enormous benefit to either myself or other people to even consider it. So, in a way, I agree with Hopeless.
As for the "If I said that I knew a terrorist and you were very patriotic, could you honestly say that you wouldn't try to do something about it?" question, I would turn you in to the FBI/CIA/other authorities. Not only because I don't want terrorist cells operating in my country, but because you were also dumb enough to tell me that you know a terrorist. Whether you actually know a terrorist or not, in that scenario it's not something to joke about because of the possible consequences.

Unless you're sure I'd rethink that. I mean I am completely for the idea that we should punish those that made false accusations. Your idea of patriotism is kind of shallow and seems like you're being too extreme. I blame all the bad media XD

But it happens, KnightXJustice88. And yes, Hopeless, I'm saying that soldiers are even ourselves, to a lesser extent. In video games and cartoons for children, we commonly have a 'bad guy' that they have to defeat to win, or the characters of the show have to beat to save something. It shows up in things as small as that, and that gives us the power to justify killing someone out of a simple word (aka. evil, bad guy, terrorist, etc).

I guess I'm the only weird one here. I simply run over the bastered and injure him greatly. Once that happens, I throw him in the back and drive him to the police station if their was a reward. If not I kill him for my own pleasure and just to say I killed a terrorisst.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. If the person is obviously joking, then there's no need to do anything. My course of action assumes the person is being totally serious and has some sort of evidence to prove their connection.
As for patriotism, I'm not saying that people need to be on the level of fascists in their love/devotion to their country. But as a citizen, I have a responsibility to protect myself and my fellow citizens. I don't see what's shallow or extreme about looking out for the safety of other people. I completely agree with you on the media though. ^_^
Lost Rain, I agree with you that tv, games, movies, etc do desensitize us to the effects and consequences of violence. However, I would make a distinction between beign a soldier and being a murderer. With the exception of any civilian casualties (a sad consequence of the "total war" age), soldiers are taking the lives of people attempting and succeeding in taking the lives of soldiers. In my understanding, taking the lives of anyone you see and taking the life of someone attacking you with the intent to kill is different. Again, this is something people will disagree upon.

Cody and Rain have brought up an interesting situation. The proper, peaceful thing to do is to let the court system determine punishments for crime. However, in the news and movies and etc, we see examples of vigilante justice, people deciding that they themselves should be punishing crimes. While in tv and movies it's glorified, in practice, this makes the situation worse. The vigilante throws off the balance and, as has been pointed out, end up being punished for their actions.
We see this as bad, partly because of the concept of the social contract. By entering into society, we (are supposed to) give up our ability to punish transgressions to the government.

Cody, i have to disagree. The judicial system is supposed to read the law and determine how it applies. The court is a better system than asking the general public because as Han and Lost have mentioned, the public is emotional, which leads to making bad choices. It's not a perfect system, but that's because it's comprised of people, and people are not perfect beings. I would rather have a judge or jury (preferably both) made up of people that don't personally know anyone involved in a case decide it than...well, the public.

Plus, many times the jury of peers is ridiculously ignorant. The law states that you cannot say any opinion directly affecting the outcome of the case when called to the stand, but you know most people in a jury expect it to be cut and dry so all they have to do is listen to the pleading of the different witnesses.

Let's go with what seems to be the biggest worry currently: identity theft.
Toshihiko
March 23rd, 2007, 08:21 pm
That's not that big unless it's large scale.
An identity can be bought online for around $500
And minor identity theft spyware for about $60
So what sort of usage of stolen identity or to what extent?

I agree, identity theft is not a large scale problem. This can be solve easily by getting everyone's genetic information but that brings another stupid ethical debate.

I agree, identity theft is not a large scale problem. This can be solve easily by getting everyone's genetic information but that brings another stupid ethical debate.
We won't even get to the ethical debate; we'll be stopped at the feasibility level. Do you honestly think we could provide a DNA sample every time we wanted to pay for our groceries with a credit card? How do you plan on sending such a sample over the Internet for a Paypal purchase?
Without a physical sample, "genetic information" is just another identification number. Even with physical samples, if you're going to create a nationwide database of DNA identification and have it accessible to private companies, you're just begging for someone to start up a sham company to harvest all that data and wreak havoc on the system.
And as for the scale, I'd hazard a guess that identity theft affects many more victims for a greater sum of financial and emotional loss than, say, chainsaw-wielding serial killers. But would we claim that a chainsaw-wielding serial killer is not a big deal?
In any case, the issue with identity theft is not punishing the thief; the problem is finding the thief in the first place.
meim
March 26th, 2007, 02:26 pm
^ good point. >.< Suddenly see the severity of it. It can easily affect any online users and stolen identity can be used for committing crime under another's name, stealing property and money, illegal migration,blackmail etc. Okay, I take back my point. It can be reduced with less purchases through internet and avoiding online banking but yes, I do see your argument that the punishment isn't the main concern but rather actually finding the criminal.

I'm going to guess that Cody meant he wanted more than a 1-word explanation, not that he didn't believe technology was a valid solution.
Most identity thieves get away with what they do because they jump country lines, leave no physical trails, etc. There simply aren't enough resources to handle every case of identity theft. As for those that are handled, luck plays a large role. If an identity thief forgets to shred some document, that's one piece of evidence that the police can use to track them. (Basically, once an identity thief makes a slip-up of the same kind as the ones they use to steal other people's identities, police can catch onto them. This is probably an oversimplification, though, so take this with a grain of salt.)
Some identity thieves may be attempting to steal large numbers of identities, which would make them vulnerable to someone putting up "bait" information.
Credit card companies can trace transactions fairly easily. (Obviously, all transactions have to get sent to them for approval.) If your credit card suddenly shows a $500 charge from a store in the next state, then that gives police a starting point. Note: if that same $500 charge came from, say, Egypt, probably nothing will get done because it will cost way more than $500 to even begin the search.

I figure That I post something that makes sence for once. Have you heard about the 49 year old man who worked at Elkhart school? If not, Steven Anthony Rose was arrested on Friday around 9 P.M. for a first degree felony offense of aggravated sexual assuault on a 7 year old boy. Mr. Rose is being held at Anderson County Jail in lieu of a $ 76,000 bond. Records show that he was convicted in 1980 for indecency with a child 25-yrs ago. He spent 4 years in jail.
His punishment should be more harsh sence he has already done two sexual crimes that we know of. I think they should raise his bond to $150,000 and inprisoned for 35 years. What do you think about the story? Tell why or why not you agree with my opinion and state your own opinion about it.

Despite its, er, creator, I think this thread has a point. =\
I read something about two men who were executed. One was for killing a cab driver and the other for being the get away driver in a killing. They both did their crimes sometime in 1996 or so- and they were put to death. Here's the thing, who picks the priorities to these executions? Like Richard Ramirez, it has been more than 20 years, more like going on 30, and he is still alive and in Death Row. Where is the justice in taking the life of someone who committed a serious but more petty crime (in comparison to Ramirez) so soon, and yet letting a man who terrorized California for so long in such a brutal way, still live, get married, and practically reach celebrity status?

Wow you managed to call yerself fine and make the most sexist statement in the thread all in one phrase.
You stupid bitch, no matter how fine you are if yer as dumb as you look you'll be nothing more than a one time cum bucket for any guy who takes the time to cater to your ego. Men are not dick minded idiots, not all of us are 12 yearold dumbasses like the type you seem to hang around. Seriously get over yourself and get it straight.
@Cody/HC argument.
Note HC, he has only been punished once, has commited 2 sexual felonies but has only been punished for one (unless I misunderstand the C+P he has not yet been tried for the second, more recent one)
As I read that article I thought two things, 1. Cut that dumbasses dick off, 2. Throw him in jail till he rots. However..that might not be the right way to approach this (..not saying it isnt either :shifty:) Jail could do one of two things for this man (in...grossly simplified terms) 1. Help him "get better" or atleast socialy acceptable (M better not come question the concept of "socialy acceptable") or serve as a hole where he can beat his meat about the next kid hes gonna touch.
I agree with HC, perhaps we should be thinking not "how long" to punish someone, but which type of punishment would be best suited to help the offendant "ease back into society"..and in the worst of cases how to keep him from society.

Ahh, how do I say this.. Your questions are immaterial. In regards to blackmail, this is how it is essentially.
When is blackmail ever put up with? It's a silly question. When it all comes down to it, the members can take care of the blackmailer. Most of us have a moral code that portrays blackmailing and general bullshitting as not to be tolerated. The Administration doesn't need to get involved. The way I see it, not only Administration is responsible for keeping order, but the community itself is partially responsible. We all have the moral obligation to act reasonably and with common sense. Angelic (he's an admin) might verbally beat the crap out of you, knowing him and his nature (ask Cody), but that's all. If it gets out of hand, he might ban you. But he doesn't have to. We can all be vigilantes, so to speak. You see what I'm trying to get at?
Oh, and define blackmail prz.
I could elaborate, but my mind is like porridge tonight, I can't get myself straight and no, I really do not want to deal with you right now, so — GOOD DAY SIR.

1) If you are like you profile says (6'2'', 10 waist size and in middle school), you are in no way "fine". You are a stick, more like a long thin metal pole. If you look like that, and still think you are "fine", it is no wonder you have to "lead on" guys.
2) "The only way one thinks is how they act." Everybody thinks and acts differently (well..except you I guess). People don't just think of things and act upon it. Believe me, if I acted upone every thought that popped into my head, I'd be on death row.
3) "It is sad because all guys want from fine girls such as myself is sex." That whole statement is false. Every part of it.

Black mail on a forum? How does that work? I can't even think of an example. If there possibly is one, just ignore it? It's a forum kid, this shouldn't be your life.

I'm pretty sure that if someone has a gun pointed at your daughter, and you murder him, it'd be justifiable homicide.
Many states agree that it may be lawful for a citizen to repel violence with violence to protect his or her own or another's life and limb, or to prevent sexual assault or damage to valuable property. However, there is less agreement on the extent to which it is ever justifiable to kill the attacker. There are usually tests based on the proportionality of the response to the attack. Thus, there may be exculpation if the level of force used in defense matches the force threatened and the "winner" of the conflict first retreated or showed a clear intention not to fight (assuming this was possible in the time available).
