I see, so basically you feel there should be no punishment for home invasion, because really, you have not been harmed, you have just been robbed and you have insurance. Spark, I can't see myself carrying on with a discussion with you much longer.Spark wrote:

I see, so someone breaks into my house and robs my big screen. So the only thing he should get in return is have his cable taken away? Sorry, he goes to jail, marked as a felon and is pretty much fucked long after he gets out.Spark wrote:
punishment should be proportional to the crime in this case as in all others.
You also can not believe this if you are against capital punishment because there is nothing proportional to fear of being killed and the eventual death of the victim as the fear of being killed and the eventual death of the murderer.
and the problem, as has been stated, with capital punishment, is that in modern day society capital punishment is a hugely complex and expensive process because you have to be 150% certain that the guy did exactly what you say he did. I know you'll call for the streamlining of the process but that's a hypothetical what-if should-have, and unless we want to end up like China we have to work with what we have.
No actually you have to be sure beyond a reasonable doubt, and like I said with DNA forensics, it appears that reasonable doubt is easier to achieve.
