Dear Canem Malum, «Most people seem to only get to halfway of JSM's Liberty because he raises the issue that "everything affects everyone" and therefore negative freedom doesn't work»

Yes, this is exactly where reduction in population is required, as we discussed on the other thread.

Answer- If we can agree that reduction in population is required then we have a chance of working together between cultures to create a safer world. Not jumping the gun- the details still need to be resolved as what that means. If the parties negotiate in good faith then hopefully things will work out.

On a slightly different topic the freeloader effect has recently been embodied in interesting ways in China's recent treatment of multilateral agreements- and perhaps indicates that agreements need to be geared in bilateral terms.

Why are people who commit heinous crimes being protected?

Is there any reason why the entire family in this case shouldn't be names and shamed?

"Police charged one of the 14-year-olds with a string of offences, including unlawful use of a motor vehicle, burglary, assault occasioning bodily harm, and property offences."

If the car was stolen, then why weren't all kids charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle?

Armchair,

Sub judice.
Until the trial the details are withheld to avoid prejudicing the jury.

Hi AC,

I don't think naming and shaming is greatly effective in crime prevention, as the named really don't have any shame to start with. The commercial TV in Brisbane spends a lot of 6 o'clock news time highlighting these juvie criminal shock stories. Obviously they do it to boost rating as the public likes to be horrified in their lounge rooms.

There was a set too outside our place at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, of all times, a couple of days ago. Two motorbike riders, known to each other were racing in the busy street, so said a neighbour who was out the front at the time. There was a big bang and one lost it, seemed not hurt, but the bike was a mess. Next thing the two are into it, obviously blaming each other for what happened. My wife was on the phone, the one whose bike was totaled; "DON'T call the cops...Don't take a video". Well the cops were called but never turned up. Instead after about a half hour a towie was there and the smashed bike went on that. They were flash bikes, maybe they had just got them, the riders were in their 20's. Could have easily killed someone,but where were the coppers.
