And now you are just being stupid and dishonest.

Why even bother?

Cos its fun?

If criminals had common sense they wouldn't be criminals, normal people fear the consequences of doing bad things, most criminals rationalize it away by thinking they will never get caught.

More BS.
Let me guess - you also believe that BS.

More BS.

Mind explaining WHY it is BS, rather than just stating such...

 

[Cray]

More BS.
Let me guess - you also believe that BS.

I see your MO from the evolution threads carries over to other areas where people might disagree with you. Simply stating that things are BS isn't very convincing if you can't offer up any alternative other that your "feelings" or "common sense".

 

[Ponderer]

There's also some that rationalise the consequences. Crime pays and it is a calculated risk.

Actions have consequences.
Committing a crime is a calculated risk.
The bigger the punishment, and the bigger the probability of being caught, the bigger the risk.
Common sense.

Common sense.

Except that common sense flow is not supported by the real world data.

It amuses me how people from the "facts don't care about your feelings" crowd always seems to revert to "common sense" when the data doesn't support their world view.

Common sense.

Not always. This for example was a crime of passion/spite/hate/whatever. There's no calculated risk or any gain.

I know, its awesome really.

 

[Ponderer]

Nope, I'm asking what aspect of the studies are BS, or what makes them BS.

Common sense.
If you don't have/use common sense, BS makes sense.

Sign this ******* up for forcefull experimental cancer treatment, i.e. give cancer then high risk treatment, at least benefit humanity.

this is actually a brilliant idea. I'll gladly help pay for this. Much better than using rats or monkeys

The sad thing is that we will see more and more cases like this crop up as the country gets sicker and sicker.

This is clear to me some sort of total mental break from reality that would drive a dad to do this and these insane situations start to happen more frequently as a country spirals into complete madness.

This killing was done by the dad but I am certain part of the blame falls straight onto this pile of **** government driving the population deeper and deeper into misery where these outcomes tend to spawn from.

You can see worldwide these types of crazy mental breaks occur more and more frequently in countries spiraling out of control. It can happen in 1st world countries as it starts to decline as witnessed in USA of all countries so its no surprise that in our deeply depressing economy and overall health of this country that these things will become common day tragedies.

I agree that "crimes of passion" be the exception.
Other than "crimes of passion", every/all other crimes is a calculated risk.

Not at all.
The real problem is that common sense is not that common.
In some cases, its completely absent - some people have zero common sense.

So you are going to just totally disregard reality and facts because they don't support your world view, and then ramble on as if you actually have a point?

This man called his teenage daughter's biological father after committing the deed. There's nothing calculated about that move. He knew it was only a matter of time before he gets caught. Majority of crimes are committed on "gut feel" and no though of consequences.

Right, so you need to get that part right... invoke fear of (breaking) the law. Something that has to be taught from young.

Do you really think that someone who murders their children is thinking rationally so as to think of the consequences
if his actions?

The problem with the death penalty and its lack of effectiveness is that the process is to slow.
In a case like this, the court should hand down the sentence, the culprit is then marched from the court room to a place of execution and done a way with there and then.
Do not pass go , do not go to jail, do not get appeals, do not get more than a quick walk to the hangman or even better , a bullet to back of the head. Done and dustered.
The simple thing is prolonging the death penalty makes criminals think that they can get away with crime.
When they realise that its sentence and gone, and enough are done away with in that manner, other criminals will think twice.

No system is perfect I guess.
