Should we Ban Guns?

Why does US have so many problems? Because there are people out there that have no respect for others well being? You are telling me I should show someone more respect than they do me? Hell fucking no. They earn respect and they earn it by being a model member of society. I have no sympathy for being resorting to crime getting punished. They know the consequences of their actions and they willfully did them anyway. It's a gamble the criminal takes. Why should I feel bad for them?

Respect is one of many problems I feel Americans have, however if you kill someone and don't feel guilty that's more of a question of morals, not respect.

However there is a long long list, Corporatization, the 700 trillion (and more) bailout for unimaginatively bad banking, poor education system (Suggested by Americans on this thread for a reason why homicide rates are so high), Rampant Racism, Obesity, Excessive Military spending, etc....but...yea, we'll leave it at that.


Are you pro-capital punishment?

If someone stole bread to feed their family, would you not feel the slightest bit guilty if she got a fine or went to jail?

In the 1950's a child in Canada was given Capital Punishment for killing his abusive parents. At 5 years old, do you think that child had any idea about the reprocussions of murder? Does he deserve the death sentence, or counsiling and a chance at a normal life? Is an 18 year old that much different when he grew up consistantly abused? What about the people proven innocent after the fact?
