Re: Insert angered rant here
I wanting prison time for someone without a crime having been committed is relevant, isn't objecting to it also relevant?Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 5:55 pmYou wanna post something relevant to the content at hand?Darth Wedgius wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 12:34 am Justice is swift nowadays.

That's not what you said though. You said you would make her poor AND put her in prison. Robbing someone of their worldly goods and their liberty just because you do not like them is cruel and unusual.Worffan101 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 8:14 pmCruel and unusual? Nah.

That's pretty much the standard for this administration.

This is a person who spent 3 hours loudly arguing that we should stop funding the Special Olympics and steal 8 billion dollars or so from our already cash-strapped Department of Education. Rich shitheads like DeVos don't understand hardship. Take her stuff, redistribute it to real people who will actually value it, and throw her in prison for a year or two. Or better, community service. Will she be upset? Sure. I bet you the Christchurch shooter is upset that he's going to get life without parole.

Uh-huh. The thing is, BCM, most people don't believe that they deserve punishment for their crimes and/or general jackhole behavior. They will therefore be upset if punished. Even that shithead Logan Paul is probably pissed off when his advertisers drop him for being a douchebag.

Re: Insert angered rant here
Again, there is fair and equitable punishment that fits the crime, and then there is just revenge. The latter is all you've done. All you want to do is to nurse an erection over how much someone else is suffering.Worffan101 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2019 5:24 am Uh-huh.

Oh, and BTW, one part of what BCM is getting at is that if you lower the threshold of crime to such pathetic levels as this and tack on such high level draconian punishments as what you want; the chances of someone deciding that YOU have slighted someone else for something equally pathetic and seeking to put that erection of yours on a chopping block alongside her becomes extremely high. You can't pick and choose. You want to ignore the Eighth, then fine. But that goes both ways.
