celldog said:As if all criminals are just sick....not evil scum that truly know what they are doing and enjoy their work.
Maxwell Smart said:Theres no such thing as evil you simpleton. Theres greed, stupidity, self-absorbtion, fear, INSANITY, but there is no "evil".
And I'm not saying all criminals are sick, either. I'm saying child molestors are mentally sick. Serial killers are mentally sick. I'm not talking about bank robbers and con artists.
celldog said:AAAAAhhh.. I was wondering when you were gonna say that! You are a piece of moral relativistic work. No evil in this world???
celldog said:And again I ask you ........Do you have any children?
Maxwell Smart said:Theres no definable evil. There is NO act that can be called just "evil" and not some other adjective, such as "selfish", "cruel", "inconsiderate" etc.
That's why you can be so heartless to that child victim. See...from your perspective the rapist was just being inconsiderate. Wow.
Evil is a blanket term for negative ideas and acts that is rooted in religious concepts.

Maxwell Smart said:And again I tell you to **** yourself. Because whether or not I have children is in no way relevant to my argument. You're thick and HAVE NO counterargument of your own, not a sound, logical one anyway, so you're resorting to bull**** emotional ploys. And I'm not going to allow you to pry into my personal life to do that.
celldog said:Oh it has everything to do with this!! See, you will never find yourself as a parent of a child who has been raped! You're safe for now. You don't have any kids. You can spout off at the mouth about how smart you are and how dumb I am for acknowledging evil and seeking justice. But just as those like Oprah who have no children or have never had one spouse, should keep their vain philosophies to themselves, because they have no chance of going through that kind of fire. Having your own child will change your whole warped perspective, dude.
Superman79 said:See, but if you don't believe prisons rehabiitate, then the logical function would be prisons punish. If that is the case, then anything that happens in prison would be part of the punishment. But since you also believe punishment is bad, then what would you advocate as an alternative to prison?? Slap on the wrist and say "bad puppy. don't do that again!"????
SpiderB said:I advocate the reform of prisons. The inmates' lives should be protected and their humanity should be respected. The guards should do their jobs. Prisoners should be given a true chance at rehabilitation. Then, as I've said, if they can't be rehabilitated, keep them in the system forever and away from society where they could harm more people.
If prisons were safe for inmates, then this man's height wouldn't matter. But they aren't safe. The prison system is corrupt and backwards, but society doesn't care because most people feel that inmates deserve to suffer. And thus things stay the same.
celldog said:I just puzzled as to why all of this symapthny poured out for the criminal. What about the victim??

Maxwell Smart said:But Danny's cool.
he looks tough...I'm sure he could hold his own...plus, he not a #$%#$% child molesterLord Siva said:I wish Danny Devito did get sent to jail.![]()
Maxwell Smart said:Once again I disagree. His safety is a reasonable concern in sentencing. Prisons shouldn't be like that in the first place, though.
