"Imagine you have a batch of tomatoes. One of them is rotten and the disease is spreading to the other tomatoes. Are you going to build a separate enclosure for all bad tomatoes and take care of them? Or is it just better to throw it away?"
Mental illness doesn't spread.
Bad attitudes amongst Scum, however, does.
Huzzah!
Vote Jacob for World Ruler.
"How is killing someone who would be locked up until dead or they're better ANYWAY more appropriate?"
You could argue that if they weren't to recover, then there'd be room for people in the Asylum who would. Oh, and the whole "taxpayers money" malarky.
"When it is for one confirmed from birth that a new born has an uncureable mental decease which will never be healed and which will require the person to be under 24/7 mental/medical observation for the rest of it's life... kill it"
I can understand your thinking on this, but without them being born we don't get to study them, and without that there's no chance of curing them. Or at least "managing" them more effectively.
"Does anyone else find that this [partially] mirrors Jacob's thinking when he decided all ugly chavs should be culled?"
Not ugly. Not Chavs. Just scum.
If i'm going to be accused of being a stupid, radical Nazi, i want my stance clear.
"Although I see another minority of society DO cause a majority share of crime and murder – the Blacks. Lets kill them at birth as well."
The only reason Black people kill others is because of the Banana shortage due to Global warming. More Bananas = Blacks are merry again. And to advocate killing a race, no matter how Evolutionarily inferior to Whites, is atrocious and disgusting. ...and i'd spit upon the ground in disgust. ...if i could spit.
"The way some people talk about ‘nature’ and the importance of it makes it seem as if they haven’t realised that we’ve actually developed as an intelligent, self-aware species since we crawled out of the mud."
We're like the Monster to Nature's Frankenstein. ...without wanting the wife.
"and chickens would peck anything smaller than themselves"
Considering how interesting the other two facts were, this was a bit of an anti-climax.
"Yes, occurances like Andrea Yates will occur, but we truly only become the same thing once we decide to "throw her away.""
I don't particularly like the whole thing of "You turn into the Monster when you kill the Monster" thing. We've been killing Monsters for ages and most societies are quite merry and well-rounded. ...well, England is.
"The best solution in my mind is to just lock them up and throw away the key."
How far would you go with that though? Lock them up in a plush, merry enviroment? Or in a vile, awful one? And if it's the latter case, surely that's worse? And if it's the former one, what of the public outcry?
"The blind, cripples, gays, whatever... all could be argued under your thinking to be 'weak' and superfluous."
But then surely we'd have to have faith in humanity? Surely somebody who got into power and used the charm offensive could persuade people that crips, Gays and the blind should be put in asylums, but nobody has. In fact, you go on about how things like that could easily be used and corrupted, but would it really? Surely the citizens would rise up and be all "Now then" about it.
"can't you make your arguments without calling people things like "dick-faced imbecile[s]"?"
He hasn't had "any" in a long time. ...and when that occurs, people's faces do tend to look like phallus'.
Oh yes.
O-ho yes.
"I couldn't fully support something like that though because of other beliefs and of course, the knowledge that the possibility of the accused being innocent always exists"
Minority Vs Majority...Minority wins. Interesting. And by 'interesting' i mean...yadda-yadda-yadda.
All that said, i don't think she should be killed. She's a crazy Cat, she doesn't know what day it is, let alone who her kids are. If the person was sane, then yes, i could understand the chants of "KILL 'ER!" but, meh, she's not.
If anything she should be studied.
...and tickled.
That is all.
"A new episode of Brimstone!""
Oh. My. God.
