Personality Reprogramming And You

[Christiefries]

I call all sorts of shenanigans on that statement. Just because they've violated the law and are incarcerated does not mean we can do whatever we like to them. Even the worst of criminals have basic human rights. To say otherwise would be to allow rape, torture, medical experimentation, and so on on anyone who's in jail. I dunno about you, but I think that's kind of fucked up and awful.

I was going off of the definition of freedom and pointing out their conflicting statement.

"Freedom: the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint." -- If they have no freedom, then they have none of these things.

I was not dictating what I believe should be done to the criminals other than giving them the choice between reprogramming and death. I said nothing of torture.

(btw I hate you for the "on on")

Alright then, my bad on the misinterpretation.

Also you're welcome, I purposely tweaked the sentence so I could annoy you with that pet peeve of yours.

Do you believe that this sentencing was ethical?

From a utilitarian view: yes.
