Transgender Former NH State Rep Arrested on Child Porn Charges

[RB 60]

All pedophiles belong in prison. Anyone who supports pedophiles should join them.

Nobody belongs in prison.

In order for punishment to be justified, there has to be guilt.

In order for there to be guilt, there has to be free will.

There is NO scientific proof of free will whatsoever--it's a religious or philosophical concept.

Therefore, rehabilitate where possible and humanely euthanize where not.

Punishment cannot be logically defended until proof of free will can be found.

Good luck with that.

So you're fine with ruffians taking over your house then raping and murdering everyone before going home for beer and brats?

No, I'm not fine with that at all, Oom.

I just think that we should euthanize them, not cage them.

I don't regard humane euthanasia as punishment,
although some people who value life on an absolute rather than qualitative level
might.

So death penalty for DUIs? Assault? Shoplifting? Can the cops just shoot them in the head upon capture or do we still need a court to pass the sentence?

Execution is a penalty.

Euthanasia is NOT a penalty or punishment.

You're not punishing a sick pet when you have to put it down.

A panel of doctors should make the decision if rehabilitation is plausible or not.

When you go straight to "death penalty," Oom, you make it obvious that clarity of language is a complete irrelevancy to you.
Why won't you try just a little bit harder? Words matter.
Perhaps that's one of the differences between Texas and Massachusetts.
We respect the King's English enough to use it properly.
You guys speak as if you're in a 1950s B movie western.

You're playing with words, neef. Are you morning drinking again?

Not at all, Oom.
I'm not playing with words at all.
I just care about them a lot more than you do, obviously.

If one believes in humane euthanasia, one is going to be quite specific in differentiating it from execution.

I suppose Dubya DID tell us that Texans don't do "nuance" very well.

Elderly dementia closing in?

Euthanizing someone against their will = execution. If saying "euthanizing" makes it easier for you to execute people you don't like, which is everyone outside of a 20 mile radius of Boston, that up to you, but don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

My fault for expecting you to understand English, Oom.
Apparently we execute our beloved pets when they're hopelessly sick.

Also, 20 miles might be a slightly more excessive than requited radius.

No worries, neef. I know you live on your own little planet so your odd posts don't bother me.

You're free to believe dragging someone with dozens of traffic tickets into an execution chamber, label it "euthanasia" and then believe it's no different than putting down a terminally sick, beloved pet. I disagree that labeling it "euthanasia" changes the outcome.

The outcome isn't what defines the situation from my view.

Every single one of us arrives at the very same outcome eventually,
and many of us are not alike at all.

I'm a "results count" guy, not a fucking blue blood snob or a fucking lawyer.

I know and I'm sorry. You weren't fortunate.
I guess that all men are NOT created equal.

Actually, though, men aren't created at all.
They're conceived, and said conceptions don't all yield similar results.

No need to be sorry since I consider snobs to be the first to die in a survival situation. They are as useless as balls on a priest or tits on a nun. They consume without producing anything in return. Therefore, in a survival situation, it's best to "euthanize" them for the good of the group.

No need to be cruel about it, just walk them out into the woods and off a cliff.

One minor point, although I don't regard it as excessively important.
I and not you was the one in a survival situation and lived.

Again, I'm not saying that this is important,
but it doesn't do much to illustrate your point, does it?

50 years ago? Now you're just an anchor dragging everyone down. What skills would you bring to a group of survivors? Anything besides snobbery, bullshit and privilege?

One, "survivalist" types don't constitute my preferred company.
I identify them with Duck Dynasty looking cretins.

Two, I've exceeded my life expectancy already.
I've already "won," Oom.

Good luck in doing the same. I've got faith in you.

Of course you don't, neef. You know what would happen.

Yes you have so you won't mind me walking you off a cliff for the good of the group.

I'll play it by ear.
