I read his autobiography years ago and I seem to remember one of his main points was he didn't think it acted as any kind of deterrent at all. If it did, there'd be no more. At best it stopped some of the worst killers killing more people, but they would probably never have been let out anyway...

Was a bout to edit my post to include that. This should be denied. Also if they refuse food etc then no forcing or going to the courts. Just say 'fine' and leave them to it. For clarity, this is with absolutely unequivocable guilt of the worst cases of premeditated murder where the prisoner...

Have you also bought a hospital and a zoo? Computer games don't count.

Couldn't we just leave a rope in their cell and leave it up to them? Keep them locked in a tiny cell with nothing but a toilet and the most basic provisions/food and just wait for them to lose the will to live?

It also tends to be the same people that seem to believe if you have any criticism at all of capitalism then clearly you must be hardcore socialist or communist. Apparently there is no sliding scale - you're either a full blown leftie loony or you agree with them. I think they need to realise...

So he should've been executed anyway is what you're saying? Even though he wasn't actually the murderer? Is that how we should decide now? Cost of execution (+ appeals and potential damages for wrongful conviction) vs cost of imprisonment/hospitalisation? if a is less than b, show 'em the rope...

And how much do you think it'd cost in payouts to the family if a wrongful conviction ws later found due to new evidence that didn't get heard because we followed through to the punishment hastily? Or how would the family of the victim feel knowing the wrong person had been killed for the crime?

Johnson's days are numbered. All distancing themselves from him to prevent the association.

But then isn't private enterprise supposed to be about adapting to change better and those that do thrive and take the place of those that don't? For example, if you're not supporting smaller city centre businesses (even though many offices etc are now out-of-town business parks and city...

Possibly. It does involve a lot of moaning.

Unfortunately your membership has been revoked as you've broken the first rule of Fight Club.

I agree with the principle (it seems similar to the rules rugby have) but what would happen if the assessment came back they couldn't carry on? Would that replacement player then have to go off and put the team a man down? If so wouldn't the team just make the assessment last ages so the...

I'm no expert, but don't they fly?

Or seemingly people with GCSE English. Or even Key Stage 3.

I agree with this. It would appear on the face of it to appear to be a tiny difference between 'person of colour' and 'coloured' but at the same time I know that the first is acceptable and the second isn't. But at the same time the organisation is the NAACP with is the term 'coloured people'...

Look at Trump's past. Trump university was sued - courts were rigged against him He didn't win an Emmy - it was rigged He didn't beat Clinton in the popular vote - it was rigged He even claimed the early Rep primaries were rigged against him cos he lost them. So what do you think he does when...

That sounds like a band from the 80's.

I'm fine with it being investigated (but that still won't stop the hardcore claiming the courts are 'in' on the conspiracy and are covering it up). But in those instances the Rep's and Trump must be made to pay ALL the costs of both sides in the dispute plus damages. Plus if there isn't evidence...

Despite adding in my twopenneth on these discussions I've never wanted to get involved in politics or political parties because that's the bit that prevents good policy and governance. It's just a shitshow aimed at getting one over the other rather than doing what's best and i can't be bothered...

Technically you were committing an offence as your were of legal age and they weren't, which is statutory rape. Had you been 15 as well no issue. It's far more nuanced than the law can make it out to be with arbitrary ages. For example a 14yo genius could be having sex with a rather stupid...
