I wouldn't say completely useless. Compared to a lot of other spam posts on VGC at least. For example, If my post was indeed completely useless, what would that make your response post? Pot calling the kettle black.

And I I have a strong opinion on the matter, the fact that I decided to keep that opinion to myself is telling in itself, especially once I realized it's not worth getting myself work up over since I now undersand that this is not necessarilly an honest opinion thread, but a challenge of ideology. It's quite interesting to read, and I find it rather interesting now.

I will assume that criminals, evil doers, etc still are aware that killing people is not right. It is funny that these criminals still are aware that their actions are wrong. Many ( after Prison) learn from their mistakes or just never want to go to prison again so they do not act up anymore. If something was wrong with the criminal that made them do the crime because of some mental breakdown that cannot be fixed or needs medicine to calm them, then I would feel sorry for them.

Crime is done because the human being thinks they will not get caught. It is an active choice on their part. There is no defending them. If you break the law you deserve to be punished. I am sure many people have several opportunities during their life time to break the law. Do we do it?

War criminals in Hitlers Germany could have said no, tried to leave the country, butchered their chain of command instead of torturing half of Europe, or done something else. But they did not. I see people who escape the ghetto and gangs all the time. There are options out there, but it is the person who decided to do this stuff.

Both were raised by abusive fathers, for one. Not to say anything justifies any criminal act, let alone what they did, but they didn't just become absurdly evil for no reason.

I do not know about other countries, but in America the average homeless person probably makes more than I do. There are plenty of programs, shelters, Religious organizations, etc that could help these type of people. America is piled with free help, free this, that and everything else. You do need to open up your mouth and ask, and do a little work, but it is possible. Same with druggies. They made the choice to do drugs, and it has gotten to the point where they have become a burden on society. Breaking the law is breaking the law. I do not care how depressed you get with life. If drugs are going to be a problem for you do not do them! I sat on a guard post for a whole year for 18 hours a day watching a damn where Afghan citizens washed themselves and used as a bathroom all day long. Did I get depressed and decide to take drugs to make life easier on myself? Start smoking heavily, drinking, etc? No! Because I did not want to ruin my life.

Bums are bums because they are either mentally handicapped, or lazy. I do not know what the movies have taught you, but even in the big city bums are not this horrible wretch like you see in the movies.  Swallow your pride and apologize to your family so that they will let you back in, stop doing drugs, seek help, use a shelter for and address. There is the occassional bad situation where a homeless person may just be stuck for a while and their kids are homeless for a bit. But that should never go on for too long of a time. If the parents were good parenta at all they would put their children into a foster home until they could get on their feet and take them back. It is all about decisions 'The One" Kind of like your decision to hate God. You have free will, and that is what you chose. Criminals have free will, and that is what they have chose. Should not feel sorry for them, just like no one in heaven will feel sorry for you when you ask for a drop of water as you are burning. That is not saying anything bad to you, just personal beliefs. Certainly not a reportable offense.
