[Terminal Est]

I certainly do not think it solves any crime problems, such is for sure.

Punishement may not always be the answer, but I suppose wishing to help one who has comitted atrocities would have me burned to the stake along with them years ago.

My opinion really does not matter in the grand scheme of the Western social structure though.
I wish there was a way to get to the root of the problem; instead of punishing and killing those who give birth to ill in our society, we should fix what in society that makes ppeople do such things. (Murder, rape...)

Because, yes, I am convinced that our environement and what is within forms many people's ideals and opinions of things, and if these conditioned forms of thought turn one to a killer, or whatever, then that problem should be dealt with, instead of getting rid of a person affected by pain, rage and hatred.

We should to destroy the root instead of ripping away the leaves.

I realize that this is nigh impossible, because although I believe this, such is not always the case. (Mental disorder, for example, has naught to do with this.)

It is not in the will of others to lend their aid, and it is not hard to understand why.

Who wants to help a child killer?

But...I think it would solve many problems if we did, although society does not, and never will, work in such ways.

Eh...everytime I explain this opinion, I am regarded with looks of disgust and contempt, but I stick by what I think.

But, since I do nothing but speak of it, even though I believe nothing may be done, this means I am no better then anyone else, and would sooner throw rocks at a murderer then try and understand why he does the things he does.

But no, because of this, because of the general suggestion that such behaviour does not help to stop crime, I am not at all for the death penalty.

And I only speak about our culture, not that of other countries from overseas.
