I don't know if I agree with that. I think the vast majority of people don't do unlawful stuff because we know it's wrong -- you know, the Golden Rule. I wouldn't steal from someone not because I might get locked up, but because I wouldn't want anyone stealing from me.

I guess it all depends upon your outlook of human nature. I think most people are generally good.

Speak for yourself, the second the law goes away, i'm going on a mother****ing rampage!
:FIREdevil



j/k

I do alot of stuff that has nothing to do with my self interest. I think kids learning right from wrong from their parent is a bigger deterrent then any laws.

You do nothing that doesn't bring you some form of self-satisfaction on some level. Not one single thing.

Wow...your solution to the issue is to kill more people..so we can see if it works.

We use capital punishment in only the rarest of cases where there are aggravating circumstances. In general these crimes are either profound crimes of emotion or mental instability. It's hard to argue that people with impaired thinking or emotions can act with any level of reason. Numerous studies have shown this.

He's advocating we run this hip like the Saudis.

Totally opposite of that, I'm scared of the police and I'm a black female. Punishment definitely is the deterrent for me.

Reminds me of the Dave Chappelle stand up special, where he says, if a black guy tries to do something wrong an old black dude will pop out and say, "N*gga don't do that, that's 5 to 10. We know the laws and the penalties."

Are you scred of the police because of who they are or because your parent raised you to do the right thing and you just associate cops with getting in trouble? I think most people would do the correct thing even without cops. They might break little laws like speeding but not the crimes against other people.

She might be scared because of stories like this (http://freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2010/09/no-law-no-warrant-no-problem.html), this (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orange/os-police-break-senior-neck-20100919,0,7478099.story), or maybe this.

No, the strict ten commandments adhering Saudis...you know, where everything is punishable by death! You don't honor your mother and father? Death. You cheated on your your wife, I prescribe death! You're gay? No progress or progressives here...death! You get the death penalty, you get the death penalty, everyone gets the penalty!

^^ Unlike the English Inquisition: "So, what will it be .... Cake or Death!?"
