"Or men who gang raped a six-year-old, who screamed for daddy the hours the torture continued that so damaged her little womb that she would never be able to conceive or have a baby! Left her for dead, then turned up at their favourite drinking hole boasting about it.

That she survived and lived to tell meant little as a good lawyer would get them a slap on the wrist with a wet tram ticket.

So, the dad got a shotgun, killed the two sons of bitches at point blank range, then pleaded justifiable homicide and won his freedom!"

wow, they should make that into a movie.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Time_to_Kill_(1996_film)

When you can't distinguish fact from fiction.....

I’m not sure why an explosion in youth crime could be blamed on judges, or why that affects the arguments for and against judge-only trials in sexual assault cases. In any event I’m sure you’ll be delighted to know that there has been a steady and marked drop in youth crime rates over the past several years, from a recent peak of 3,338.5 per 100,000 people 2009-10 to just 1,778.2 in 2021-22.

You say “First we need to identify, and then separate harmful persons from the rest of society”.

There is one minority in Australia that is responsible for the great majority of crimes, especially violent crimes. They account for 86% of homicides, 93% of sexual assaults, 80% of robberies and 75% of deliberate injuries. Yet they make up just 49.8% of the population.

Of course, I’m talking about males.

It is not even necessary to lock up every male to make Australia much safer. Offending rates are quite low for young boys and old men. So all we need to do is lock up boys at 15 and keep them in jail until they turn 50.

Or perhaps you had another target group in mind?

Moira Deeming:
This is an example of someone thinking and acting in a way she shouldn't in modern society?
No need to count her teeth though.
I have to assume that some of what I read about her is correct.
I have to assume that journalists are doing their job professionally.
So I base my comments on their good and conscientious reporting.
I ask: who does she think she is?
What she is is the elected representative of her electorate.
Her duty is to keep abreast of her electorate's attitude and needs?
And she should use her personal expertise to assess the relative importance of their biddings.
And this should influence how she votes in parliament?
Which should, overall, be along party lines?
For that is what she was elected to do.
She is not some exalted delivery agent for righteousness.
She is not some all powerful source of unending wisdom.
Her personal thoughts really don't come in to it.
She should concentrate on her electorate, and forget Moira Deeming.
That way, she will achieve their gratitude and support.
And it should also smooth her path through parliamentary life.
Time for her to be humble?

Alan B,
This lie detection is only of use if the people making a decision after hearing of the liar’s deeds have the sense to compose an appropriate penalty. The woke magistrates & those woke who control the magistrates along with the hordes of incompetent & socially inept social engineers have persecuted innocent parties & literally rewarded culprits by way of no punishment & not even the tiniest degree of discipline.
These are the people responsible for much of the crime & social problems in our society ! You know the ones who went to Uni ?

Dearest Alan.

#DD, At least I've got morals and integrity and will face my maker without trepidation, with my record such as it is and answer for all of it. I've seen what hell looks like and pity those who think that any evil is ok if nobody sees#..

There are those Christians among us who firmly don’t believe in the resurrectionist theory as portrayed by the RC Church (from their interpretation of fellow believers and Christian literature of the third century), with a library of reject Apocrypha that too often, shoots holes in their belief system.
A number of those Christ followers were so judged to be heretics and were slaughtered for their views.

It’s those poor soles that were laid out on the slaughter stone of the self righteous for sacrifice, that firmly believed hell and heaven are here and now on earth, and that that was the actual message of Christ.

So what that means to your comment above is, do we wait for judgement of our sins, or can we expect a swift response to them in the here and now?

As for your archetypal death dreams, they are just that. Death to any animal is a terrifying experience. Should we slaughter animals for human consumption? No in my view, having worked on the slaughter floor of an abattoir for confirmation.

And straight up Alan, we have a live example of hell on earth in the here and now: spelling.
Of course my reference is to the human soul, not his firm attachment to earth through the sole of his foot. Goes without saying of course.
