i frankly dont care what the hell the bible says. its a story book with a bunch of hippie followers. what it says is based on the wrong fact that everybody holds everything to their hearts like they might need it to save their life. it does not apply in some instances like stealing merchandise. being in jail overnight and in court the next day would be enough of a hassel, but some people just dont see the light.
killings are another story. they should make you NOT want to kill again. they should be a detterrent. the more you put a person in contact with other people the less they will think about what they did. hence solitary confinement. but the problem is that they not only think about what they did, they think about everything else, and go insane. which makes them not suitable to be a functioning member of society.
but this is no way a cut-and-dry case. it has its ins and outs that make the whole thing get spun wildly off kilter. like school killings-are they old enough to fully understand what they did? do we want to ruin their life? they could be a perfectly happy and stable human being but get pushed to the point where they snap.
and i have to put in a few words about school killings while i am at it. i think that they are just a few kids that were pressured into acting in a position that they normally do not act under, and profiling the kids that are going to hurt themselves and others is a bad idea. and i think that part of this school violence is the nation's attitude. we are a split country due to the presidential race and the senate numbers. and i have noticed a grassroots 'soccer mom' type movement. these people raise their kids to the highest expectations and want laws past that make other parents care for their children. they are the people that want abortions to be illegal. but this is not all the soccer moms and it is some other groups too.
just my $0.02
