Maybe the state could do a better job educating its population, specially those in the lower ranks of it.

No, not if a neighbourhood watch captain is just checking. Why would I need frequency counts, or specific examples? In principle I do not agree with a law which allows you to start a confrontation (where none existed) and allows you to escalate that to the use of deadly force.
-
Yup, that would be a circumstance in which it would be appropriate. Though we could have a nice semantics argument about whether that is initiating a confrontation or inserting yourself into a confrontation that has already begun. When I responded to the post, I was speaknig to situations in which no confrontation had yet occured.
-
This I agree with.

Unless it is to go after Illegal Aliens. Unless it is to fund a giant military complex. Unless it is to fund Veteran's Benefits Etc. Right.

Nope.

So, you want the Government to spend more money, so it can make the same amount of money or less? During these cash strapped times, do you think that is smart?
-
I think that worrying about punishment takes away energy from designing a solution. I also think that "punishment" by taking away support will only hurt the offspring, which only increases the risk of repeated behaviour by the next generation.

As always no program is going to have a 100% succes rate. But, IMHO, education and employment are the main answers to prevent this type of behaviour. I highly doubt that the majority of educated women, who have a normal level of self worth, would find themselves in these positions.

I think that is what makes it so 'Commie Boogeyman'. When a company does it, it is by the very definition free market. When a Govt does it and it is compulsory, it is exactly 'Commie Boogeyman'. Yes in another thread you are vehemently arguing how the government should behave exactly like a business. -
You don't think money influences elections?

What Profession Best Prepares a Person to be President
SkyDekker replied to lawrocket's topic in Speakers Corner
Which is a great reason to suggest that somebody with a long career in the military is maybe not the best choice as Commander in Chief -
Running a country, state or municipality is not the same as running a business.

tsk tsk tsk. A gun is but a tool. If a guy with a baseball bat, or a knife had come upon this sooner he (or she) could have stopped this sooner. Free baseball bats and knives for the homeless too.
-
Really? You posted it yourself: "3. To put an end to; destroy: " So when the State executes an inocent man, they have put and end to his life, or one could say, they have destroyed his life. According to your own posted definitions, that is murder.
-
To make this a bit more SC friendly, we need to introduce socialism and 2nd Amendment issues. Hence, I am proposing free guns for all homeless.

You have to have a law like this because it is generally against the law to shoot people. Not if someone is in my house who is not supposed to be there isnt. And you proved my point There has to be stand your ground laws to protect the innocent from those with attitudes like you demonstrate here Dure, don't be so fucking obtuse. If you make a law that says it is illegal to shoot people, then you have to make seperate laws indicating when it would be legal to shoot people. It is just simple logic.

The whole thing reeks of quid pro quo to me.

Right. So, you are in a traffic unit. Stop writing tickets for 6 months and let's see what that does for your promotability

It is funny to see Republicans so butt hurt over the fact that OBL was killed while a Democratic president was in office.

Those irish and italians are pretty good at this organized crime stuff as well. They should be tossed out...all of them.
