You really think that the world is worse off than it used to be? That Britains crime rate is higher than it used to be? You have a very short sighted view of history if that's true. Look to your past. You will see public hangings, beheadings and torture. And you will also see that crime was far more rampant then. I hate this world is going to shit attitude that everyone has. Because it doesn't make any sense. Crime was far more prevalent 100 years ago then it is now. And the punishments were much more severe. That should clue you into the fact that punishments like what you are spouting is not a deterant in the first place. The only person it does anything for is the sadist who gets the joy of putting them in place.
As for bad things creating good things well, you're right. Sometimes when bad things happen good things come of it. But that doesn't mean that there wasn't another way to get the same result. A way that doesn't damage the soul so much.
