1. Establish a negative income tax so that no one need rob a liquor store to secure the rudiments of existence.
2. Execute anyone robbing a liquor store.

So if someone, say, robs a liquor store at gunpoint, what should we do with that person?  Since putting them in gaol just damages them.

Transportation.

Transportation is actually a good option, if available.

That's ridiculous.  I can't believe that a guy whose job it is to send people to jail could possibly see any value in human life.  Otherwise, how could he do something so antisocial?
:grr:

It's because I value human life that I think those who harm human life must go to gaol in response to their actions.
Wouldn't it make more sense to simply hang them by the neck in response to their actions?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Before I can evaluate the DP option I need to know what the guys look like.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Am I the only person who didn't initially think death penalty when the acronym DP was used?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

DP for life! :punk:

I am only surprised it took Languish until page 3 of the thread to go there.

At this point, most of us would rather fantasize about our own deaths than crack lewd jokes, I'm afraid.

I was like that in 2003.
