Subject: I never loose grip of my sword. Author: Damoclese [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02/27/02 4:56pm In reply to: ozboy 's message, "Keep a Firm Grip on the Sword Damoclese!" on 02/27/02 10:02am Ozboy, It seems to me that you apply some notion that the sanctity of human life should be held in high regard. I'm not at all convinced that human life should be held in any higher regard than say, the life of an animal. Should I be so fond of human life over animal life for any reason you can think of? >from Damoclese: Why in the world is prison better for >society as a whole? > >>>> because people don't die un-necessarily. and why is that necessarily a good thing? > > >from Damoclese: ....still have the opportunity to >escape and inflict more harm on people is better for >society as a whole? > >>>> they only escape becauce we let them! yes, but they still have the ability to cause further harm. > > >from Damoclese: If everyone started killing people >when they got mad, there would be a shortage of >workers and a total decay of control in that society. > >>>> a ring of truth! ... cold and over simplified! >... but if that where the case and lots of people did >kill lots of people ...

What if that human being is killing other human beings? Should we let him continue on his rampage until few human beings are left? > >Death is not punishment, it is freedom. > Death is may not be punishment, but it's permanent.
