But if you're not going to rehabilitate them because they're spending life behind bars, why bother with a life sentence? Just make it death so we're not paying for a person to keep on living for no reason.

Agreed. I have no issues with the death penalty other than, making them suffer and think about what they've done in solitude until it drives them insane and then their miserable, useless a** goes to whatever afterlife they may believe in is one hell of a penalty. Then again, maybe that is a form of torture.

Basically, I just want to see those people that commit such heinous acts get their justice and due punishment whether it be a dark cold cell or death. One thing I am game for, no more injections. I'm not an electric chair supporter because I've read that electric chair executions were hard for even the grieving families to deal with and maybe it's the lost cowgirl in me but I say hang the bastards from good old fashion oak gallows.

lifetime criminals no longer fear the law because the law has gotten too weak and now they can spend their decades asking for forgiveness and not to go to hell should it exist. I don't think they should have that luxury.

Wow... I hope you are joking..

Although I understand your concern, did you even bother to think of the outcomes of "FORCED Sterilization"? What do you mean by "Forced"? Should the government get involved in such an issue as to where they have total control of your body and it's ability to reproduce? So if this law were to take effect, my body is basically property of the government. ******* rediculous.

Take a look at the Eugenics movement that happened in the US in the early 1900s. It's motive was to prevent those deemed unfit to reproduce and only allowing those deemed fit to reproduce. Those being rich educated whites. Birth control was also developed to prevent blacks from reproducing.

This Eugenics movement also inspired many scientist under Nazi Germany which helped and provided the idea of Ethnic Cleansing.

Im appauld that a few of you guys even believe this is such a great idea. I do admit that I see quite a few people who shouldn't be reproducing, but to actually have a government step in and regulate a persons body is absurd.

Oh and the Beatles reference is a bit off.... The song wasn't promoting sex, rather the feeling you have for humanity and life. To be content and happy with the world. Hard to explain but I recommend trying any psychoactive drugs to understand the meaning.


When was the last time you seen a family "pop" out that amount of kids? Although it still does happen, large family units are disappearing. In this time of age a large family has no benefit where as a large family did back in early history before the industrial revolution.

So what your saying is adopting the restriction the Chinese have implemented correct? Take a look at their situation. Because of the regulation, their is a large increase in the male population with a dwindling population of females. Cause of this many are left without partners to procreate. This might seem like a fix for their growing pop. problem but look at it in a long term perspective. If a large-scale war were to happen with massive casualties, this could spell for disastor for China as it tries to rebuild.


Raise the driving age? Why? How is postponing driving age going to do any benefit. They will still be inexperienced the time 18 rolls around. Great. That solves everything!

And think about it. By increasing the driving age, there will be a decrease of young adults working in low-paying jobs which will then be filled by low-wage minority workers as they have no means of transportation to take them to work. And judging by your racism I can assume that would even cause more problems with many in America and you.

I totally agree with this. My stance on Religion is a bit harsh and disrespectful so I'll leave out my comments.

I take it that you really don't mean disrespect should result in death. If so, my ******* god you are insane.... So because of ones disrespecful nature towards another, they should be exterminated? Did you take into account depression, pre-menstral stress, or any clinical conditions that... **** it, nevermind, im going to assume you were just joking about this. Cause this goes beyond logic.

Many of the idea's on these boards are absolutely ridiculous. I know many are just jokes but I have a feeling some of you truly believe in these ideas. It's sad actually... I always believed everyone should atleast once experience a perspective-shift through such chemicals like psilocybin, LSA, and such... The power of these chemicals would do great change to our world. This socieity is full of hate and violence that im not suprised many of you believe the things you do.

well its already a law but we need to enforce the law on bad drivers. meaning swerving back and forth, going way to slow, uncontrollable speed (speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down), and i think there should be an age limit. i noticed alot of bad drivers are older people.

mO 64 StAnG 06

Instead of enforcing more laws, why not encourage people to take part in a driving course or such to promote safe driving skills? Like defensive driving, doing such a course could lower your insurance rates. That way it would provide incentive to do so. Plus I think it would be fun to have a course like this and would teach us all to drive better and safer. And I've seen many Auto'xrs here that stated they have become better drivers by racing on closed courses. So why not take this method to the public?

Many of you people soley rely on the government to get involved insead of thinking of other alternatives to combat such things. Its like to only way to solve something is either by death or extreme punishment even for the most mundane crimes.

It's no wonder we are slowly, what I believe, heading towards a police state. Too many of you support and give up your rights believing that is the only way to live a safer life.

MBK

a choice in schools; from high school on, let those who do not want a traditional education go into a trade or technical school, maybe military for more aggresive males. give them the money (that would be used on them) and choice to do it. radical, but i think we'd get better people out of it.

civsnake

It's a neat idea, but I would argue that a lot of kids aren't ready to make that kind of decision at the age one typically enters high school (13-14 years). A mistake made at 13 would potentially mess up the rest of your life.

Another problem I see is that there are certain parts of high school education that I would consider indispensable, particularly classes like English, History and Government. These are classes that tend to make a better person.

Perhaps a better solution would be to simply allow for a wider range of curricula at the high school level. Let people choose a focus early on but require everyone to take certain common classes.

Dar-Dar

Don't 4get Math and Science.

MBK

to some, theoretical learning means nothing. in trade, technical and military even, the same knowledge is applied. works better for many and imo produces better people; parents/guardians/consulers can assist in the choice.

civsnake

I would say that Math and Science are the classes that could easily be substituted with technical training. History and other Social Studies classes are the ones I think are important for everyone. History is the single greatest factor in social evolution. Without it people can't really learn from their mistakes.

civsnake

I won't argue theoretical v. applied with you, but I still say there are some things that all people need to learn, regardless of their career intent.

gibbletz

I'm up for tighter drivers license requirements, make it like Europes, where you actually have to know how to drive decently before you can get a license and you have a noob sticker on your car for a year.

illusionstwice

FAIL.


Garden State Pkway- 65 MPH Majority of the way
NJ Tpike 65 MPH
287- 65 MPH
295/195/95- 65 MPH

I dont know why you say 55mph in NJ.... most highways are 65MPH

illusionstwice

Tougher laws and penalties for drunk drivers. To many people get locked up for a few months, and pay some fines after killing men, women and children...and these ass holes were proven to be drunk off their asses.

atruhondagrl

*ahem* And females. I was destined to go into the military. I take great pride in being mean with a handgun and rifle. I have issues though, I wish women could be snipers.

Well I say **** that! Dawn, if you want to go live with a spotter for days on end out in the field, you go out there and you do it! Because I sure as shit won't.

Dar-Dar

most of the highways by my area are 55mph.

route 46, route 3, roue 17, route 80, route 23, route 21, GS parkway keeps changing its speed limit (either 55 or 65) and route 19 is only 45.

KingMarineM16a4

Speed limits vary based on county. Some are 55hwy some are 80hwy.
How many deaths are related to Marijuana influenced persons? A lot more than zero I can promise you that. Also the government is making too much money off of Marijuana to legalize it.

Dar-Dar

i hate my county. lol.

KingMarineM16a4

I think the speed limits over the entire nation should be increased to an average of 80mph.
