At which point you get your hand sliced off.
Swift, pure, direct and to the point.
True justice.

And yes, I believe that within a criminal justice system legitimate fear is a necessity.
Without it, society descends into barbarism. Much like you see in the United States and the rest of the so called civilized world.
Criminals know that they will get counseling and a slap on the wrist rather than real dire circumstances for their actions.
My nuclear deterrent was a classic example of how fear is effective. But you ignored it.
I've addressed the bold already giving you two real world examples where it works pretty damn well.
i ignored your example because i don't agree with having a **** load of nuclear weapons to be some kind of force in this world. that's one of the reasons the USA spends close to 50% of the total capital they have on national security and weapons development, because of how many enemies they're having. i don't think that's effective as you call it, especially now that we have a huge economic crisis
but yeah, there's no point in arguing with someone that is convinced that living in fear helps society. we'll just have to disagree on that instead of wasting even more time on this. take care

BTW idiot. It cost more for a life sentence than a execution. Do some research before you open your ******* sewer hole.
Finally, while i'm glad they'll face the long sleep, I almost guarentee these two will get life w/no parole. Forrest chased them with a gun after the robbery; you know there defense lawyers will convince a jury that they were scared for their lives....sad, but true

Originally posted by fdotorres View Postthe only two examples you gave aren't from countries considered first world. in the lost of countries considered "first world", only USA, korea and japan have death penalty, and they practice it much, much less than in the USA. if you really think that spreading fear makes so much sense and USA is so barbaric, then i encourage you to go and establish yourself in those advanced countries you mention

Forget PR Singapore has a higher GDP per capita than the USA, Canda, and Britain. It gas the fifth highest GDP per capita in the world.
