You always talk like you are preparing for an AP English vocab test.
Ha I'll take it that is funny. ;) She said a lot to say nothing at all. Some of the smartest, most respected individuals are not afraid to admit they 'don't know'. Try it sometime.
Funny you ignored the rest of the paragraph.
Chapo said:Progress to where we have? The world is a terrible place in general. I doubt I’d be dead, I don’t even have many enemies. There is plenty of conflict that can be resolved without prosecutors, the whole court system is a terrible joke. Maybe most would have died from nukes because the world would be a completely different place, but if that didn’t happen the world would be a better place to me. I actually support the death penalty for convicted murder, but so few prosecutors would be needed.
Some sort of punishment for very very serious rape (something like randomly attacking someone in an alley beating the shit out of them, and using lube to force sex) would probably be necessary too. But short of that I don’t see almost anything that needs punishment. Even malicious wounding generally isn’t that big of a deal in the long run. Maybe prisons could be used for serious threats to society like the type of rapist I described (which barely exists in today’s society and it’s not because of the court system). Something like throwing an alligator at someone would still be a prison sentence (assault with a weapon), but short of the things I listed (only very serious malicious wounding) prosecutors aren’t needed at all outside of very special cases. 3rd degree murder would also warrant prison.
Jails could be used to house the homeless, but conditions would change dramatically. Unfortunately I think guns would have to be illegal and eliminated, which people here keep suggesting is possible. Theft would also have to be handled in some way, maybe a fine much higher than the value of what was stolen. So I guess I’m wrong in saying that all law enforcement and prosecutors aren’t productive to society, but a huge majority of their impact is either negative or worthless imo.Undervalued post on SC. Deserves discussion.
I don't even know where to begin myself.
Of course you don't know where to begin, you don't actually understand it.
